Mary and David thanks again for you replies.

I didn't mean a death certificate but thinking more along the lines of census information. The registry is where I order my certificates from.

I don't know whether the Alice who died in 1917 aged 53 was married this is one of the things I am trying to find out.

Thanks for looking to see if there were any marriages, that helps.

Tomorrow I am off to the library to see if she was on the 1911 census living Isle of Man and following Frances tip off about 31 Castle Street, I am hoping to find out who lived there.
