Title: Burial Look up - Frances Burgess Poynton 1855/6
Post by: Danae on Sunday 06 November 11 23:42 GMT (UK)
I've used the Cheshire online Parish register project which has given me a burial date for 33 year old Frances Burgess on the 2nd August 1856. (8560802)
Hovewer the closest match on the death index gives date of death as Q1 1855
Macclesfield Vol 1a p889
Seems a bit long to have the body lying around!
Could anybody cross check the burial date for me please.

There is one in the September qtr 1856 Macclesfield but the Volume & Page number are unclear.  I don't know whether this link will work

The GRO index  page shows it as vol 8a page 55

It's pretty clear on the copy that I looked at but the other sites are showing a very poor image.

Thank you to all for your help

A Q3 1856 death date makes much more sense.
