Hi John, How strange. Yesterday, when I went into FMP, there were 2 burial records for Charles CLARKE - the one I looked at showed exactly what I gave to you. Today, there are still 2 entries for Charles CLARKE but they both say the same, which is what you have stated below, i.e Charles CLARKE, Guard of Mail Coach, Congleton. Either I am losing my marbles (always a possibility) or the record I gave you has been replaced with the other since I looked at it yesterday. My apologies if I misled you. Originally, I just thought that as he was a Mail Coach Guard he could have died whilst working away from home but that no longer seems to matter as there is only the duplicated record now available to view. Also the burial record of Mary COTTRELL is as follows: 21 July 1843 at St Mary Astbury Mary COTTRELL, died on 18 July 1843, Congleton, Spinster, aged 77 Once again, my apologies.
