You are right they were living Axminster Reg District - my apologies. Honiton only covers Beer post 1936 - my eyes - sorry

Based on this - this is a more likely death as her husband is widowed in 1891

More likely to be this one if you meant that she died after the 1881 census?

It looks probable that this is the Mary Russell that died in 1901 as she was living in the Honiton Reg District in 1901. If she isn't yours then I would think that the 1881 death could well be your Mary Russell.

Name: Mary Russell
Age: 94
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1807
Relation: Mother-in-law
Gender: Female

As Reg said how did you knpw she died in 1881?

Based on the 1881 census the Mary I posted in 1871 was still alive in 1881. This is the only othrr deaths I could see on FreeBMD for a Mary Russell in the Honiton Reg District. I will try to check who she was

Age at death is on the index.........so you should have no problems
