Edith Charlotte Hook Death

I was trying to determine the date of death for Edith Caroline Hook. I had recorded somewhere that her date of death was 1941 according to a Hook family bible. And then on Ancestroy.com I found a hint that she had died in 1941 in Lawrence, South Dakota, USA. But that didn't seem to make a whole lot of sense. So I decided to investigate for myself.

I found a probate record from 1943.



It mentions the husband, Joseph Masey White and gives a death date of 28 April 1943. So I looked in the GRO indexes and managed to find the actual death record:



So, not 1941 and not South Dakota. But mystery solved.
