Lydia, Lydia where art thou?

Lydia Ware’s birth is record by the Baptist Chapel at Chesham 11/11/1785 to Nathaniel and Elizabeth Ware (nee Bunker).

Lydia Ware was married first to William Ware on 10/4/1817 at Chesham Bois and he was buried Baptist Chesham 5/6/1817. (what a shock!!)

Lydia married for a second time to Joseph Flexman at Chesham Bois on the 1/6/1820.

On Famsearch there are Chesham Baptist records of birth of sons: William 26/2/1821, Charles Ware Flexman 22/1/1823, Robert 23/9/1825, Henry 3/4/1827.

In the 1841 Census living at Chesham, Joseph is a 49 year old farmer, Lydia aged 50.

On a tree on Ancestry there is a DOD of 1844 for Lydia but no location.

There is a second marriage for Joseph. (there are quite a few Joseph Flexman's)

Charles Ware Flexman migrates to New Zealand and marries and has family. Quite a few descendants appeared to also have looked in vain for a record of Lydia's death.

I have looked for Lydia’s death under Flexman and Flaxman on FreeBMD and other places but I can’t find her.

Help appreciated again:confused:. Thanks. Julie

If you look on FreeBMD the death is transcribed as Fl__man and Fl*man showing that the transcribers could not read some of the letters, and there is a postem but no info about who posted it:

Julie, I got it off FMP, which I usually find more reliable.
