Looks like she was older than you thought!

Deaths Dec 1898

Susannah Symonds age 94 Newent Vol 6a Page 155

Look on the bright side - according to FreeBMD Athaway is a very rare name.

20 births recorded between 1845 and 1910
3 marriages
6 deaths

I wonder if it used to be Hathaway?

---------------------------------------------
I cannot find a marriage, or baptism of any children, on the FOD parish records so I would imagine they married in Worcestershire?

You could try The Birmingham & Midland Society for Genealogy & Heraldry (They have a Worcestershire Branch on their site) www.bmsgh.org

Or Familia:Worcestershire County Council www.familia.org.uk/services/england/worcester.html

You might get more information if you can find their marriage in parish records
e.g. father's name & occupation.

FreeBMD list two births of Athaway's at Dudley & West Bromwich in 1845.

Good Luck
