Hi Glitter Baby,

No I don't as I don't have her Death Cert.

I have seen an entry for possible death in 1895 on Ances** hence me thinking she was still living in 1891.

Do you know she was still alive in 1891?

Hi,

Can anyone please help me find Eliza Hesse on 1891 census. She should be in the Hackney area of London.

She was born 1821, in Bethnal Green.
