Just searched on BT and no record of the address but they may have been ex-directory anyway.

Any Births/Deaths/Marriages sites don't seem to be very up to date.

It is so important that I find this out and I amstuck. Can anyone please help?

Local paper - obituaries? Local undertakers? Local hospitals?

I can't just ring the local hospital and ask if someone has died recently.

Would the local police in Bradford be able to tell you that sort of info?

Have you tried ringing the local Births & Deaths office in Bradford, to see if their death has been registered, rather than looking online?

Thanks all.

Phoned hospital and she was there.

Have to ring back later when the Sister can get the records.

Will try ringing local register office too.

If she was at the hospital why did you ring the records office?

or did you mean was in the past tense?

Well I have no idea who you're talking about, but I'm sorry that someone has died who you obviously didn't want to have.

It was my Grandma and we had hassles from my mother regarding the safety of my children. Another link to the past gone.

I didn't see her from age 6 to 18. She put me up when I came back from abroad at 20 when no one else would and I could really talk to her. I had to let her go as my mother (her daughter) caused so many problems and I couldn't let my mother know I had children. My other nana and MIL let that one for me.

I think she was early -mid 70's.
