Eliza SOMERS nee FRAZER d 12 May 1882
Received a copy ofEliza SOMERS nee FRAZER death certificate today. Eliza died12 May 1882. We had originally recorded FRAZER as FRASER.Afew more bits of information and am hoping they generate some new leads.
The death certificate copy notes:
- Eliza's sister Anne FRAZER was the Informant
- Eliza was a widow aged 65 years [thus a birth around 1817]
- Eliza was a farmer
- Anne her sister was unable to write her name
- Both Eliza and Anne lived at Donaghmore and Eliza died at Donaghmore
Given that the death informant was Eliza's sister we are wondering if that potentially means all Eliza's children had migrated? We know that Eliza's sonRobert Fraser SOMERS [aka Robert Frazer SOMERS] migrated to Australia and arrived with his wife and daughter in 1885 at Melbourne on board theCuzco. Perhaps other of Eliza's children also migrated but unfortunately this is as yet an unknown.
Where would Eliza be buried given she was living at Donaghmore? Is her sister Anne also interred in the same cemetery?
Was there a notice in the local paper of Eliza's passing? Her sister Anne's passing?
As Eliza was listed as a farmer would there still be any records that could be used as a lead?
Nothing is known about what became of Eliza's husband Mortimer SOMERS or Mortimer Brownrigg SOMERS other than he had passed before Eliza.
Any ideas?
