Thanks Angela. East Grinstead Library has just local records, but I plan to check out Crawley (only 10 miles away) where there may be much larger archives.

I've been sort of working against the calendar in a sense. I plan to give my 87 year old Aunt Betty the beginnings of a family tree as a Christmas present. Apart from building the PINNELL, COTTRELL/COTTERILL and RATCHUS lines back a few generations, I'm also aiming to make a DVD including the tree and some nostalgic photos and a soundtrack that I hope will trigger a few happy memories. Authoring a DVD (I'm a relative novice at that too) is notoriously time-consuming, but family research has even that beaten!

Thanks Kev. Yes, Elizabeth is one of the Pinnells that I found a fair bit about, including 1851, 1871 and 1881 censuses. And I'm pretty sure this is her death:

FreeBMD:
Deaths Jun 1881
PINNELL    Elizabeth    65    Dursley    6a   133

Her father Samuel died in 1890 in Dursley.

Terry, if she died age 65 in 1881. she would be born in 1816
not 1848???

Can't be her surely.

I am sure I got an e-mail from another supplier recently, telling me that their indexing was superior to others' and that it would be easier and cheaper to use them to locate bmds.

Can I find it?  I can not!

Put me out of my misery someone, please!

kind regards, Arranroots 

(Researching JONES, SMITH, EVANS - all the rare ones!!)

Wasn't www.Familyrelatives.org claiming "fully searchable database for Births, Marriages and Deaths from 1866 to 1920"?

Thanks Kev. You're right, of course, embarrassed to have missed that! I suppose Dursley was so compelling, I forgot to do the obvious birth year cross-check.
 

As mentioned before, I had her located in Wotton-Under-Edge in 1871 and 1881. Prompted by your post, happily I've now found her in Yatton, Somerset in 1891. And as a big bonus, that has also given me my first sighting since 1851 of of her sister, Mary Ann Pinnell. What's more, that's another branch of the tree: Mary Ann is married to James Denmead, a Grocer, b. abt 1842. Another source of cousins to pursue. So, turns out to be a lucky mistake after all - very glad you spotted it!
 

Still haven't found her death though...
