Date: Thu, 3 Jun 2010 19:29:39 +0100 you mentioned the date of June 1911. If the funeral was in June 1911 we can be fairly sure that the death was registered in the second quarter of 1911 FreeBMD gives 132 deaths in that quarter in the St Austell registration district If you remove all the females, and men over 75 or under 20, the number is considerably reduced. See if any of those left was a postal employee on the 1911 census. Does anyone know if Mount Charles is in the St Austell RD? Perhaps expand the age range, include the women, try adjacent districts -- Regards John
