Hi and welcome to the forum.

Unfortunately at that date there will be no newspaper archives online, mostly they stop about 1900.

We have a list of newspapers which would have been in print at various dates and the most likely you would find an obituary for somebody living in Newton would be St Helens http://www.forum.liverpool-genealogy.or ... =newspaper

To contact St Helens library, they may be willing to do a 15 minute search for you for free, otherwise it would mean paying a researcher. Try the library first http://www.sthelens.gov.uk/libraries

Welcome Christopher
Mary, great advice!!
In the Schweppes census they are in Heath Lane, Croft, Nr Warrington.

Good one John, that would appear to be the answer.

FreeBMD lists the death in the index, Newton being the registration district and yes it does cover Croft.

thank u for helping .all i know abt her is that her grandparents adopted her as a baby according to marriage record online father was William Evans mother unknown Jones possible name either elizabeth or ellen jones d/o Robert and Ann Jones .my grandmother doesnt know much of accept seeing pictures of her and fred and the family jane died when my grandmother was young .

again thanx,
Christopher

This would appear to be a possible marriage as they are living in Walton on the Hill in 1891

Frederick G Broomfield married Jane Evans St Mary Walton on the Hill 1889

The marriage is on www.familysearch.org

They were married on 12 May 1889 he was 24 she was 19. His father Alexander Broomfield her father William Evans
