Title: GREENFIELD BURIAL ACKWORTH
Post by: fredandora on Wednesday 15 December 10 14:54 GMT (UK)

Hi!

I wonder if anyone has access to St Cuthbert's churchyard or burial register and would be willing to check on the burial of the following person?

Mary Greenfield nee Marshall born about 1800, wife of Isaac Greenfield, died around 1828-1829. 

I'm really sorry that I cannot be more specific about her death year; she may even have died in 1827 shortly after she gave birth to their last child, Robert, but I do not think so.  Isaac did not remarry until 1830 and he surely would not have lingered so long with a small baby to feed and care for besides other young children needing care.

I have a Mary Greenfield burial for 8 February 1829 but that record gives as Mary's age at the time of her death as 21; not likely to be my great-great- great-grandmother Mary Greenfield when she and Isaac married in 1821. 

Any help most appreciated.  :)

Regards as ever,
Anne

Thank you, Philip,

Unfortunately that Mary Greenfield died before she had chance to marry Isaac and give birth to their four children over the years 1821-1827.  I've scoured the family search pilot website and free reg and so on, all to no avail. :-[

Regards
Anne

Hello Philip,

Thank you very much for the very thoughtful offer!  As you might guess, I don't live anywhere near my ancestors home village (thousands of miles away now). 

If and whenever you have the chance and without causing you any trouble, it would be lovely to know about Isaac's burial.  He died in 1850 (his son Isaac, from his second marriage to Marie Wilson nee Smith, didn't die until much later).   Isaac was my great-great-great-grandfather, via his daughter Frances.

Thank you again! 
Warm regards,  :)
Anne
