Maria EARNSHAW

  General Notes:

Birth Mar 1864 Bradford 9b p167 - mother Briggs on new GRO indexes
Birth certificate confirms that this is the correct entry and that the family were still in Denholme

Deaths Sep 1881 Earnshaw Maria 17 Halifax 9a 309
Died aged 17 in Luddenden of Phthisis Pulmonalis (tuberculosis). The informant was John Sunderland - father of her stepmother.

No reference to being buried in the Luddenden cemetery. I would guess she is buried with her mother - but where?
