Death - Eleanor/Ellen Roberts

Death - Eleanor/Ellen Roberts

Posted: 15 Oct 2014 1:02PM GMT
Classification: Death
Surnames: Roberts/Williams
I am trying to find reference number in order to obtain death certificate; have spent a few dollars on the BMD site, without success.

Eleanor was my gt.grandmother's sister, born Eleanor Williams 1836 Beddgelert, Caernarvonshire, Wales; married to Henry Roberts, who died 1899, Alma, Maryborough ( I obtained his certificate some years ago).

With help I found Eleanor on 1909 census, Laancoorie, Maryborough - haven't found anything after that date.

Vague family info says she died c 1913.

If anyone could help me find a reference so I could order certificate I would be most grateful.

Hi,
What were her parents names?
Quite a few Ellen/Eleanor variants ROBERTS dying within the right dates, let alone if she remarried.

Hi Glenys,

The information, regarding Eleanor's parents, at death, were provided by an informant, who may not have been 100% sure of the names, and her age. It could still be the death of your lady.

If you look at the last electoral roll, for Maryborough, there was only one Ellen ROBERTS on that roll. My guess is, that this is your lady.

Mary,

You were right, I have just downloaded this death certificate, and it is my Ellen/Elinor Roberts.
She died Russell St., Maryborough................................is that in Alma?

On the certificate her pa was listed as Robert Ellis Williams, not as the index suggested Robert William Ellis
Thank you so much for all your help and interest.

Hi Glenys,

Alma is a town in Victoria, Australia, along the Maryborough – St Arnaud Road, about 6kms, west of Maryborough. From Google.

I do not live in Victoria, but I would say that, Russell Street, Maryborough, is about 6 kms, from Alma.
