Assuming Alfred had died, it is possible that Eliza remarried and may be indexed under another surname. I spent months looking for the death of my husband's great grandmother. I eventually located her after searching the marriage registers for the first couple of years after her husband had died and Bingo! She remarried within two years. I eventually found her death in 1966 under the surname of her second marriage. Alternatively, have you tried looking for them with variant spellings of their surname?

They were my grandparents. Alfred was born 3 April 1874 at 7, Riding Row, Leeds Eliza was born 18 November 1878 at 11, Stanhope Square, Leeds Alfred married Eliza (was HAWKINS) at St. Aidan's, Leeds on 18 May 1903. Both their addresses were 6, Roseville Road, Bayswater Road. Their first son Ernest was born on 18 March 1904 at 6, Roseville Road, Potter Newton UD Ernest was married at Guiseley on 24 Dec 1936 - his father is listed as Alfred TILLOTSON Soldier (Retired). Ernest's address is 'Leeds'. So I assume Alfred was alive on 24 Dec 1936. I was told that both he and his wife had died before I was born (13 February 1946) It could be that Eliza died abroad on a visit - I have failed to find her nationally or in the GRO Consular Death Indices - where else could I look on-line or by visiting somewhere? I have checked for Alfred and for Eliza in the national death-certificate indices between Q4 1936 and Q2 1946 - and can find no reference to an Alfred or an Eliza TILLOTSON of the correct age. Where should I look next? I can get to Leeds. With many thanks for any clues you can give me John Tillotson ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to WEST-RIDING-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
