I'll post the address from the absent voters list later. Just going out now. Don't think it was anywhere I'd seen before.

Oh, but having said that, I just remembered that it does show you a tiny version of the image on Fold3 for free. This is a link to a free search I did on there which brings up the records, or some of them (if you log into your Ancestry account it should work):
https://www.fold3.com/search?keyword...ct=World+War+I I clicked through to try to look at the first image and of course it says I would need a sub to Fold3, but behind that message I can see some of the document, and it says DEAD 1932, so it fits with the death you found, but I'm not sure whether you are certain that death is the right one?

Also I can see it says "4 School Lane, Upholland". Does that mean anything to you? Edit - reading back through the thread, I see that it will! So this must be the right army record.

I believe you can download the medal index card from the National Archives for free at the moment, though you will need to make a free account first:

Just passing through.
We couldn't find this before: Name: Jane Moss [Jane Atherton] Gender: Female Marital Status: Widow Birth Date: 13 Oct 1892 Residence Date: 1939 Address: 4 Back School Lane Residence Place: Upholland, Lancashire, England Occupation: Farm Worker Back at post #50 I had this death as the only remaining likely one, having eliminated two others: Deaths Mar 1978 ATHERTON JANE 13OC1888 WIGAN 39 2811 So the year is out but the date is good otherwise. I found that almost four years ago. Have you got the cert yet?

Thank you so much for your help i feel so happy as i said a lot of my relatives are a blank canvas to me . Of course i remember my nan jane ,but didn't see her that much . My sisters and brother will be happy too as they didn't know much like I. It's making up a puzzle with all the valuable pieces you have found . Back school lane fits with my mum and family That death is correct . My eldest daughter was nearly six at the time and i didn't want her to go to the funeral .so i can relate to the date . Once again thanks
