Hiya Fencewolf

I usually use the soundex option but I think I will have to resort to the wildcard search more often

Hiya Fencewolf

Wolverhampton Archives have put a load of stuff on line at www.wolverhamptonhistory.org.uk/resources/familyhistory

Jemima Mears was buried 22.7.1860 at St Marks - she died of consumption but I havent found the elusive George yet

Jemima was buried Merridale Cemetery not St Lukes (going x eyed reading these!) and she was from St Marks parish

Also there is a burial of twins Mary and Joseph Meers on 17.4.1855 who lived 1 day after being born premature also from St Marks parish. I wonder if these are children of Jemima and James? they married 9.4.1855. Might send for the certificates

Hi Willow

Caution! The fact that there is no record of a burial at Merridale does not prove anything. I already knew at least 2 of mine whowere buried there and don't appear in the file.

Hiya Fencewolf

Yes I was beginning to suspect that as I am missing several burials that logically would have been at Merridale

Hopefully it will get updated in the future but I'm going to try and make the time to get over there and check them out anyway
