A very quick search on FMP cannot confirm the events you've suggested other than the burial of Edward ROWLAND of Alford on 28 Feb 1813 aged 50. His baptism may well be this one recorded in St Olave's Parish Register: Edward s/o Thomas & Anne Rowland bap 21 Feb 1762 Where did you get the information about Hannah GRIFFIES? She was not born in 1784. She was married to Edward ROWLAND on 10 March 1784. This is recorded in the St Oswald's registers, Chester. Where did Hannah GRIFFIES die? Is there an address on her 1839 death certificate? If so you could check this address in the 1841 Census. George PRINCE may be a neighbour. One further thought. His name may be PRICE and not PRINCE. Alford is not a large place and a search of the Census would not take long. But if Hannah died somewhere else it may be a much longer search. Hope this helps to untangle some of the story. Ruth
