Death record - Herridge (Horridge)

[edwardjrichards]

Hi all

I am a newbie here and need some help please.

For some years I tried to find my great-grandmother's, Helena Herridge, death record.

I managed to find her burial record in Southern Cemetery, Manchester from the General Manchester Burials and Cemetery Index.

Now there is a twist here, you cannot be buried unless you have a death certificate first! Is this correct?

She was buried on 7th October 1939, originally she was listed as "Horridge" (now amended), I have also checked using this surname and nothing turns up.

I am wondering if anyone can help here please or point me in the right direction?

Regards
Edward

Hi Edward, and welcome to Brit-Gen :seeya:

I wonder if this could be the index entry for her death...

Dec Qtr 1939
AERRIDGE Helena age 71
N. E. Cheshire 8a 355

Perhaps it was misindexed at the GRO?

Thank you for welcoming me to Brit-Gen

I am still learning my way around this!

Sorry it was posted in the wrong forum.

Thanks for the information, looks like it was indexed wrongly!

Hi Edward

Welcome to the forum!

As Waitabit says, this is a helpful site. Quite a few Aussies here too which means "It's the Genealogical Forum Wot Never Closes" i.e. 24 hours!
