I have no notes about any in the Widnes area, so have asked somebody local if they are able to make any suggestions.

Meantime it might be a good idea to contact Widnes Archives direct http://kohalibrary.halton.gov.uk/

Tina means the disclosure would be to anybody making enquiries at the Archives, although they may be willing to open the particular file for you on proof of death. Best to enquire with the Archives what they have.
