Hi, I expect everyone is busy on findmypast but I cannot confirm some dates on either ancestry or findmypast (UK and USA) versions. I am trying to confirm a date that I have for the death or burial of Anthony. He was in the Union Workhouse, Madron. Would a death certificate been issued or the info put in a parish record book? I was also still unsuccessful in finding and confirming Anthony's parents. In the Gulval parish book an Anthony is listed as baptized 3 Jan 1808 father Anthony and mother Elizabeth. I cannot find them getting married or being born (confirming the correct Anthony. There is a listing for an Anthony being born in 1806 in the 1841 census. (age rounded down to 35?) Also an Anthony Stevens no dob and marrying in 1834 which is the same the same one in Gulval 1841 census. Their home was very close to Gulval up from the train station in what was listed as Madron and now E. Penzance area (3 Mount St.) Anthony dob 1808 is the Gulval baptism and also in the 1871 census. I believe these are the same person, but it doesn't help me find the Anthony and Elizabeth as parents. There is an Anthony and Ann OATS married in 1798. Thank you for any help.

Hi Carolyn In theory all deaths from mid 1837 on should have been registered Some earlier ones were missed or incorrectly registered From 1874 almost all were There is but one registration for your mans name in 1887 and that in the correct quarter and district Deaths Jun 1887 Stevens Anthony 78 Penzance 5c 188 It would not name his parents however, or tell you where he was buried Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 08/11/2014 21:08, Carolyn Haines via wrote: > Hi, > > I expect everyone is busy on findmypast but I cannot confirm some dates on > either ancestry or findmypast (UK and USA) versions. > > I am trying to confirm a date that I have for the death or burial of > Anthony.
