Oh Jane, What a great suggestion - reminder for others - about cross referencing before choosing to purchase. I'll go back and check for this Robert's wife. Thank you.

The best thing to do is cross reference, for example: Burial records site: Robert McKee 1893 Phillips Park Cemetery Robert McKee 1894 Phillips Park Cemetery Deaths on Freebmd: Robert McKee aged 40 Dec qtr 1893 Manchester vol 8d page 162 Robert McKee aged 1 Jun qtr 1894 Manchester vol 8d page 142 You can order certificates here http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/ with just the information from freebmd. The 1893 Robert McKee death may well be yours, as the age of death gives he a birth year of 1853. Hope this helps. Jane :o)
