I now have information that Karen Shea died between 1979 and 1982 in Rochdale Infirmary. They reckon she was about 68. I am now looking for her then even though I have looked for her before. She may not have been buried in the name of Karen Shea. They are not sure about that either.

But were they the same person? -- Roy Stockdill Editor, Journal of One-Name Studies Guild of One-Name Studies website: www.one-name.org Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
