Burial of John Underwood
« on: Sunday 24 June 18 12:58 BST (UK) »
Hello,

An Ancestry tree says that John Underwood died in Rothley in 1847. Like most Rootschatters, I am skeptical of any information on Ancestry. Can anyone find a burial for John in Rothley? He married Jane Waldrom in Rothley in 1797.

I'd appreciate any help!

I assume you have checked there is a death with an age that would match on the GRO index for that year

There are two in that district: one aged 75 and one aged 25. Presumably John is the 75 year-old if it is him.
