Hello,
Please could someone see if they could find the death entry for
Isabella (or Bella) ELMS who I was told, died sometime in the 1940's.
She was born in 1876, and someone told me she is buried in
North Shields Cemetery. I think that would come under Tynemouth, Northumberland district??

Thanks,
Jan

Their is a Isabella registered in July-Sept 1941

Isabella Elms age 52 District Greenwich VOL 1D PAGE 740

I have checked 1941-1949 no other Isabella Elms deaths registered could this be yours??

I have looked for death for Isabella Elms from 1940-1949 other then the above, only one other Isabella Elms and she died 1941 age 49 years in Exeter.

I have extended the search into the early 1950s and found an Isabella Elms in Jan-March 1951 Quarter died age 76 district Stepney VOL 5D PAGE 856.

This age would tally more with your date of birth.

Hi Joanna,
Thanks very much for looking for me.
Don't think that is her, as the age is wrong, and don't think she lived in London.
It was a distant relative who told me she died sometime in the 1940's - they were a bit vague about it! :-)

Thanks for looking for me.

Hi Joanna,
Yeah!! :-) I think the Newcastle one in 1939 is the right one! I've got excited now!
A big thankyou for looking for me.
I'm going to apply for the death certificate now!

Thanks again,
Jan
