I wonder whether anyone with access to the NBI for Shropshire could do a look-up for me.
I am seeking the death / burial of Elizabeth Stockton in the 1860s, probably in Whitchurch. She would have been aged 80+. I cannot tie her down on the St. Catherine's bmd Index as ages were not entered pre-1866, by which time I think that she was almost certainly dead.
At the time of the 1861 census, she was living at Pepper Street, Whitchurch, the town where she had been for most of her life. Her age varies from census to census, but in that census she was recorded as being 85 (which I think could have been overstated by anything up to 5 years.
Thank you for reading this post.

hi SandraC,
Thanks for having a look - it is appreciated.
I suspect, from what you say, that she may have gone to stay elsewhere after the 1861 census as she was in her 80s by then and had, according to that census, just gone blind.
Richard

Have looked in NBI Second Ed., Whitchurch St. Alkmund is only covered years 1813-1837.

Hi,
They have the BMD's for Whitchurch in the local library - if no one else can find them on CD etc - will have a look next week for you.
Cheers
Keith.
P.S. Anything else while I am at it??

Hi Keith,
Thanks very much indeed - that would be very kind if you have the time to look for Elizabeth Stockton's death.
I look forward to hearing from you.
The only other member of the family for whom I cannot find a death is Elizabeth Stockton's husband, also of Whitchurch, one William Stockton born 1776. Unfortuanately, he was dead by the time of the 1841 census and probably died pre-bmd registration days.
Regards,
Richard

Hi Richard,
As always when I do lookups its good news bad news!! 
First the good news:
1939 Death/burials
Name Abode Date Age
William Stockton Welshes Yard Dec 1st 60
No other Stocktons from 1838 1842
Now the bad news no sign of Elizabeth from 1855 1875 however I did find the following which may be useful: 
1861
John Stockton Albrighton Lane Oct 10th 73
1862
William Stockton Welshes Yard Sep 1st 75
Thomas Stockton Birgin Inn Nov 25th 66
1863
Hannah Stockton Workhouse June 1st 74
1864
Margaret Stockton High St May 9th 68
1867
John Stockton High St Dec 7th 7 months
1874
Mary Stockton St Alkmunds St Mar 19th 18
1875
Henry Stockton St Alkmunds St Sept 8th 21
I also had a quick look around the churchyard but unfortunately did not have the correct footwear for the wet long grass!!
However I did see the following:
Mary Stockton March 13th 1871 aged 18
Henry Stockton Sept 4th 1875 aged 21
Ann Stockton mother of above July 8th 1879 aged 60
John Stockton husband 1886
Might get a chance to have another look later in the week for any headstones but wonder where Elizabeth got to??!!
Hope some of the above helps
Cheers
Keith
P.S. sorry columns don't line up - but you get the idea.

Hi Keith,
Wow.
Thanks for all that and for your time and effort - really appreciated.
I'll have a look through everything later today or in the morning when hopefully I'll have some time to try to work out who's who.
Strange what happened to Elizabeth after 1861.
One of the Stockton family, a direct ancestor of mine (2 x great-grandfather), went up to Yorkshire from Whitchurch in the 1820/30s, I think, and worked as a clogger, ultimately having his own business and employing staff. This person, William, had been baptised in Prees in 1811, his mother being the Elizabeth Stockton I'm seeking.
The 1841 Census reveals William Stockton in the Sowerby Bridge area, but, save for his wife and children, there are no other Stocktons in the Halifax area suggesting that he travelled north by himself looking for work.
Anyway, I'll check out the people that you have found and try to link them through the 1841 and 1851 censuses and also see if I can find out a bit more about Elizabeth.
I'll be back in touch.
If there is anything that you need looking up in West Yorkshire or East Lancashire let me know.
Cheers,
Richard
