Have you checked Suffolk Jane? Hales is not that far from the border. I was also wondering whose child is the Elizabeth Nichols ( lunatic) given as niece of your ancestor's sister on the 1851 and living with her on both the 1841 and 1851. Is she really the child of Elizabeth's sister or is there a Nichols brother ( or another sister) somewhere in the area so that Elizabeth Blake could have ended up living with that person. Are there any children of the Blake marriage that she might be living with anywhere-not just in Norfolk. Rosie.

To answer the first question of the poster, I suspect that the death registers are more complete that the birth registers or the marriage registers. The Act from 1836 specified: "And be it Enacted, That every Registrar, immediately upon registering any Death, or as soon thereafter as he shall be required so to do, shall, without fee or reward, deliver to the Person having charge of the Funeral, a Certificate under his hand, according to the Form of Schedule (E.) to this Act annexed, that such Death has been duly registered, and such Certificate shall be delivered by the Person having charge of the Funeral, to the Minister or officiating Person who shall be required to perform any religious service for the burial of the dead body, or to the Person by whose authority the grave or vault shall be dug or opened for the burial of such body, and no dead body shall be buried until such Certificate shall have been so delivered: Provided always, That the Coroner, upon holding any inquest, may order the body to be buried, if he shall think fit, before registry of the death; and shall in such case give a Certificate of his order in writing under his hand, according to the Form of Schedule (F.) to this Act annexed, to the Person having charge of the Funeral, which shall be delivered as aforesaid; and every Person who shall perform any funeral or any religious service for the burial of any dead body, or who shall authorize any grave or vault to be dug or opened for the purpose of burying any dead body therein, until a Certificate shall have been duly made and delivered as aforesaid, shall forfeit and pay any sum not exceeding /Ten/ Pounds for every such offence." So theoretically, unless you registered the death, you could not get rid of the body. (without going into such cases as what if I paid everyone more than ten pounds to ignore it). I would note that in order to register the death, you had to have the body in the first place, and also you have to assume that the person registering the death actually knew the name of the deceased, otherwise they will appear in the index under either unknown or some obscure variant of how they were known. There are known inaccuracies and omissions with the GRO indexes which have been publicly documented so in addition to the other suggestions on this list (subsequent marriage etc.), it may be worth contacting the local registrar (although the current date limits you are have may have a wider range than they are prepared to search). regards Keith Drage Swindon UK On 16-Mar-16 8:23 AM, xpn11 via wrote: > Have you checked Suffolk Jane?
