However, unfortunately, English death certificates are not terribly helpful and it will certainly not tell you where she was buried. If her burial has not been transcribed to the National Burial Index (and it does not appear to have been) then she could have been buried almost anywhere in Hertford and you may have to look at several parishes. -- Roy Stockdill Professional genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

Hi Roy and Daphne, Thank you for your replies. I do have Jane's death certificate, but unfortunately, there are no burial details. She was the unmarried daughter who, by the contents of her will, looked after all her siblings and their families, so I'd like to complete her file by adding her final resting place. Will try the Hertfordshire Archives. Thanks again, Noeline, in Wollongong, Australia.
