I want to look for some deaths in the years 1832 - 1836; I have the names and the county (Notts) but no more details, in particular no idea of the town/village/parish.
The names I'm looking for aren't on the resources I've got from the Notts FHS although those resources are not exhaustive.
Is this an impossible task in the face of too little information or are there other resources out there that I could try?

Is it possible for you to find possible areas for these deaths by finding more about the families involved?
For example say Fred has his child christenend in place X in 1831, but Fred's wife appears on her own in place X in 1841 and 1851 as a widow, then you not only conclude that Fred died between 1831 and 1841, but also that it was likely to have taken place in place X.
Can you find events for the people on your list, or remaining people in thier close families on later censuses, in order to establish which part of Nottinghamshire they were likely to have lived, or more appropiately died in?
Remember that records for the dates you say will be burial records rather than death records.

I know a marraige took place in Basford (i have a copy of that register entry) and subsequently the groom may have set up home with someone else in Notts St Mary's. Beyond that, no clues

Sorry to press this, Annie (I know I can be a pain!) but if you know nothing about these people I wonder how you know they died 1832-36?
I was suggesting that by building on what you did know, you might be able to narrow down a list of parishes or an area in which the deaths might have taken place. Then a trip to the Record Office to search the Parish registers in that area would be your best course (I see you are in Sheffield so not a million miles away).
If you want help finding out about the people then do put all the details of what you have got on here (names dates etc) and Rootschatters will get searching - but make sure you tell us all you know so we dont dulplicate effort and look up things you already have!

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be mysterious or awkward, it's just these wretched Kilners again and I'm sure everyone must be heartily sick of hearing about them.
There have been so many threads, even a scavenger hunt and people have given me so much help that I feel bad about whittering on about the same old same old again. Except it's not really the same old etc - thanks to everyone I am a long way further on than I was!
Threads passim ad nauseam - to sum up v briefly - I've got a Joseph Kilner marrying Hannah Woodhouse in Basford in 1832 (copy of marraige register in my possession). I can't find any mention of any children or of a death for Hannah.
Then there are Kilner children born to Joseph Kilner and Mary nee Taylor in Nottingham St Mary and St Paul in 1836 - 1852. I think this is probably the same Joseph but it would help enormously if I could find Hannah's death/burial, any marraige to Mary, or even any burials for his first family - Elizabeth (wife) and children Harriet and Caroline (but I know the family was in Leicestershire until at least early 1832 so might not come up with anything in Nott for them).
Sorry to be so repetitive in my requests.
