It gives her Mother's maiden name, if the person supplying the information for the death certificate knew it, which is the REAL prize!!! On my great-grandfather, the stupidest son was the informant and just said "don't know" to everything! But always lots of good stuff -- and very well worth the price and the wait!!! My grandmother died in those years and I found her the same way. Thanks to ItalianGen! So glad you found her! Birthplace is probably just Ireland or New York.

I've found a possibility for my Bridget Brennan who died between 1910 and 1920 and the age is off by only two years. Can anyone tell me the information I would find on a certificate from that period? Would it give her birthplace, maiden name, or parents' or husband's names? I'd need one of those to be sure I had the right Bridget Brennan.
