    Munroe Ellen, lived as Wife to Thomas Dodds, then William Lawley

    I have her death certificate, only states Lawley. I have never seen death certificates states other names personally. Only seen one appear once in a birth certificate for a different person but about of their 5 children only one had "previously known as" so I guess its pot luck. I can...

    Munroe Ellen, lived as Wife to Thomas Dodds, then William Lawley

    That was my hope too started looking for her with her fathers family but no look yet, Susannah died aged 6 I believe so can't even use her. For two marriages to not appear is odd, and she must of married to be buried as Lawley.

    Hi all, hope you are all keeping well and safe. I have been spending my time the last few weeks trying to summarise and fill in gaps within my family tree.
