20 months later!!!!!

Having come to a bit of a standstill with my research, I decided to spend the £7 for Elizabeth's d.c. and it is her..........thank goodness :D

She died in a little village in Yorkshire called Middleton Tyas in 1890.

I had reason to visit the area a couple of weeks ago and visited Middleton Tyas in the hope of finding a gravestone.

The church is very old and very beautiful, but alas no headstone. Now that's not to say that she isn't buried there, as there may not be a headstone.

However it was nice to visit the area she lived in. Alas, because it is an English d.c. I have no hope of finding her ancestry :cry:

A great big brick wall :!:

Well done, Jean,
It is a great feeling to find what you were looking for over a few months/years!
Brick walls are always those you keep going back to time and again and sometimes you hit lucky. Hope you do eventually find out more.
