    I checked the probate index on Ancestry.

    James Pressdee was of 356 Mill Street, Liverpool, a grocer and provision dealer. He died 29 May 1919. Date of probate was 1 July 1919, with probate going to Rose Pressdee widow. Effects were 4694 pounds, 12 shillings, 6 pence.

    Darn!

    Thank you both very much. Now all I need is the 1921 census to find out what became of Rose. But that's not gonna happen anytime soon.

    Thank you both again.

    Well don’t completely despair. The 1938 Kelly’s Directory of Liverpool has an ‘Edwd Harris Pressdee’ living at 356 Mill Street. He is described as a grocer.

    I see that there is a death for a Rose K. Pressdee in Liverpool South RD, Jun Q 1949 [Vol.10d, p.554a]. She was 69 years old.

    Brilliant Malcolm, Edward was their only son, so it looks like he took over his fathers grocers business.

    I just found Roses death too, but you have more.
    Rose K. Pressdee
    Where did the K come from!? She's always been just plain Rose Pressdee nee Robinson. Maybe that will help me find her birth now. Supposed to be Brosley, Shropshire in 1863 with father Thomas Robinson.

    Thank you so much

    Whoops - isn't there something funny here? The Rose K who died 1949 was only 69 according to the GRO Death Index. That would make her born about 1880, but your Rose was born about 1863 according to the 1901 Census [RG13/3430 fol. 85 p. 12].

    Have I just gone and confused things?

    Don't worry Malcolm, I found the correct one on FreeBMD

    Deaths Jun 1949 Pressdee Rose 86 Liverpool S. 10d 554a

    Actually it has the same reference as yours. Hmm Strange

    Morning Rebecca, Hope you slept well. I had James and His father Williams burial record but I didn't have Roses. Thank you so much.

    There's a death for an Edward Harris Pressdee on FMP

    PRESSDEE Edward Harris England Cheshire, West Cheshire 1972

    But from the index it doesn't say how old he is. I've looked on the Cheshire BMD's and although it has West Cheshire, it doesn't have that record.

    Could someone kindly have a look for me please.

    Terry
