Hello Gill Have you thought of trawling through the GRO deaths? I think you'll find that the age at death was entered at the time Jane HUGHES died. It's doubtful if you'll get lots of Jane HUGHESes around 100 at that time-with any luck you might get just the one ! At least you would have a date and place of death then and could look at local papers. Regards Maggi (Blythin)
