She had been consistently understating her age by 10 or more years since her arrival in the US in 1867 - she was actually born in Wales in 1810. She must have died fairly soon after 1880, given her real age. I am in England, so a visit to Scranton Library is probably not on the cards! Is there anyone on the list who visits the library and would be prepared to have a look at their death index to see if her death is recorded there please? I would be most grateful, and happy to reciprocate with any UK census or BMD lookups for the list.
