Hamilton County Morgue Records
The Hamilton County, Ohio Morgue Records, 1887-1930 (Accession Number ON-73-38a) are part of a county records collection acquired by the Archives & Rare Books Library in 1973 under the Local Government Records Program established by the Ohio Historical Society and the State Legislature of Ohio.
Bodies were taken to the morgue for various reasons, such as suspicion of murder or suicide, accidental deaths, unidentified or unclaimed bodies, or death under unknown or otherwise suspicious circumstances. Details in the morgue records include the date, time, and location the body was found, personal information on the deceased, probable cause of death, and removal of the body, and sometimes effects found on the body. Some entries include letters from the next-of-kin or public officials that offer more information on the deceased. These records aid in revealing trends in economic depressions, workplace conditions, locations of accidents, transient patterns, crime patterns, and infant survival rates.
For researchers interested in Cincinnati urban life from the late 1800s to the early 1900s, the Hamilton County Morgue records provide an extraordinary amount of data. Since the volumes have been transcribed with most of the data available in a searchable PDF or spreadsheet format, researchers will be able to work with large amounts of historical data. Researchers could use this data to study relationships between race, gender, age, and causes of death.
Each spreadsheet lists:
- Name
- Race
- Gender
- Date of entry
- Age (often estimated)
- Cause of death. Causes of death were often quite specific, e.g., “Accidental Injuries caused by a Bank of Earth Caveing and falling on him”

I am looking to find any living ancestors of Elizabeth Croxall Judge (1863 - 1939) who died in Ohio. Any pointers please?

Inputting the information you provided into Ancestry.com resulted in only one lead:
Elizabeth R. Judge; born 12 February 1863 in England; died 14 September 1939 in East Liverpool, Columbiana County, Ohio; married Frank P. Judge; children James R. Judge, Joseph H. Judge, Helen Dorothea Martin. Does any of this information confirm or reject that this “Elizabeth R. Judge” is your “Elizabeth Croxall Judge”?
Good Hunting!

Hello Ronald
Thank you for this - the Elizabeth Croxall I am looking for seems to be the same one you have found, though I am not sure where the middle initial R. comes from.
I am still trying to be sure that this is my relative (great grand aunt). Most of the details fit, I just want to be certain.
For example, I know that my Elizabeth was born in Burslem in England in 1863 - and that is the same date and place on this record.
I am still trying to check marriage details and possibly find evidence of immigration / emigration.
I did not know that there were children, so if this is indeed my great grand aunt then it's exciting to continue finding her posterity.
Many thanks again
Jonathan

Hello again
I wonder if there are living relatives if they would have any information about her?
Would you know how I might trace them?
Thanks
Jonathan

You can go to FamilySearch.org and Find ID# GSXW-RRM (Elizabeth Croxall). On her FamilySearch page she has 24 Sources, 6 Hints, and 7 children you could search for posterity that might be able to help.
Good Hunting!
