Title: parish look up at Horninglow
Post by: cfbrown459 on Wednesday 11 September 13 08:37 BST (UK)
Hello,
I was wondering if someone could help me out.  I am trying to verify my Great Great Grandmother and Father who lived after being married in the same house in Horninglow, Staffordshire.  I believe that they would have been buried at the local church there but I am not sure which year they died.  William Brown was born abt 1823 and died after 1891 (as he still appears on census records).  His wife Sarah Brown (nee Bird) was born abt 1827 and again died after 1891.  I also know they were married at Weeford in Staffordshire in 1848 but as yet I have not been able to get more information about their marriage.  I would be greatful for any assistance you can provide.

Thank you
Claire

As they were living in Burton Upon Trent Reg District in 1891 Census search FreeBMD with that District  for a Sarah/William 1891-1901 and you should find the correct Death Regs as you know they were born c 1823 and 1828/9
