Hi Mitchelide, and welcome to British Genealogy Forums.

I have moved your post from the 'Introduce Yourself' forum to the Lancashire forum where it should attract more help, help from members experienced in Lancashire records. Good luck with your query.

This also looks like him, no idea why his wife is named Edith, either Elizabeth was a second wife or Edith is a mis-entered name. As yet I haven't found a death for an Edith.

How certain are you that Elizabeth died 1899?

1901, 2 Ainsley St, Barrow in Furness. RG13, Piece 4014; Folio 77; Page 29
Elizabeth McMitchell, 49, widow, Ireland
Margaret Johnston, 45, sister, single, Hospital Nurse, Ireland

I haven't found a death in Barrow for Elizabeth, I wonder if she went home to Ireland 1901 - 1911, as there's this lady on the Irish 1911 census.

My apologies, yes I see now you said Jane died 1899.

Both Joseph and Jane were buried at Barrow-in-Furness Borough Cemetery

Do you know if Jane had a daughter, Priscilla?
