Quick Riley Update

Post by Norfolk Nan »

The GRO has been extra speedy this week and I've had two death certs - one for Eliza Riley confirming I have the right event and that she was the widow of Peter Riley, an army pensioner, and one for Peter Riley, army pensioner aged 64 who died of decay of nature (?). Unfortunately, the death was notified by a Sarah Ann Hern who was a neighbour and present at the death. No mention of a wife, a son or a daughter. So I'm still not sure if I have the right Peter Riley.

Might be helpful if you update the thread(s) the certs belong to.

I'd say its almost certainly the correct Peter Riley. For info, he's first on the Electoral Register at Caroline Street in 1864.
