Thanks to an excellent suggestion by Bob Gillis, I have found the wanted information in the NSARM film of the Chandler Funeral Home (Liverpool) records. Thanks Bob! Mary Eliza Freeman died, age 98, on 21 Nov 1934 in Milton, Queens County. Thanks to all those who responded with helpful advice and information - it was all very much appreciated. I still do not find the death in the online database. I gathered this morning, in conversation with a government archivist at NSARM, that there are three main reasons why something like this death might not be found in the online database: 1) some very bad indexing / transcription error 2) for some unknown reason it simply got missed in the indexing process 3) the information was never sent in and so was not recorded in the government registers in the first place John Cordes On [2007-06-03 at 11:59am] John Cordes <John.Cordes@dal.ca> wrote: > I've been trying to locate the death record for Mary Eliza > Dexter, b. 31 May 1836 in Queens County and believed to have > d. 1934.
