Susanna HARPER died 1802 Cambridge
« on: Sunday 21 May 23 21:42 BST (UK) »
I've run into a problem ref Susanna's place of burial.
In the notes I've taken over from my Cousin he has written Date 1802 and Buried 24 August at St Andrew the Less,Cambridge,
This makes sense for records of their children and her husband who pre deceased her in 1792, all seem to agree this Church was used for christenings and deaths.
However another scribbled note has a question mark with Burial 1802 in Melbourn, Cambs. This is 21 miles away from Cambridge.
I'm inclined to go with St Andrew the Less. Any comments please?
I'm researching: O'Connor, Connor, Rea, Smith, Skilton

Just found one of your earlier posts
https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=761846.msg6132756#msg6132756
So it looks like that your Susanna was born around 1725, which makes her too old to be the one buried in Melbourn.
There was a Susanna Cole of Melbourn who married a William Harper in 1769 in Melbourn. A William Harper was buried in 1788 in Melbourn, so the Susanna buried there in 1802 could be his widow.

Thanks,

Yes I've seen this, but the age differnce makes it unlikey. Sussanna was born 1725.
