Title: Rock burials ( Harvatt )
Post by: robsdad on Saturday 25 October 14 18:50 BST (UK)

William and Elizabeth Harvatt appear on 1841 with son James ages 55, 60, and 15 approx. at Gladder Brook - Rock  Worcs.
Has anyone burial dates for the parents please hopefully with there ages in order that their D O B's  can be calculated.
Any information greatly appreciated
regards,
robsdad.

I have James' details.

Have you checked freebmd for a year of death - there is nothing for William 1841-1851 so he presumably died afterwards.

There is an 1842 for an Elizabeth and an 1865 for a William

There is a burial for an 80yr old Elizabeth Harvatt on 26.11.1856 at St Peter & Paul - Rock

Hi Carole,
Thanks for your info.
I will do as you suggest re freeBMD.
Looks as if the 80 year old Elizabeth buried Rock may be the Elizabeth 60 on 1841 I mentioned ie DOB 1777-1781 .
The age spread on 1841 can be a little misleading thats assuming the rounding down rules are interpreted correctly by the 'scribe'.
Thaks again,
Rgards
