Have I mised something? this is very odd did they take the body of the baby to Misterton for burial?, how long that must have taken them by coach in 1849 ? The Crewkerne railway station didn’t open until 19 July 1860.

Hello.
I am trying to help a friend of mine with her family history as a Christmas present, I am looking for the death of William Ritchie 59 Bn 1822 Edinburgh, Flour Miller in 1881, Blythswood Civil Parish: Glasgow Barony, Lanarkshire,
He died between 1881 & 1891, I found a death that fitted 1894 in Scotland's People, I used the last of my credits to find it wasn't him! the one I have was an Ironmonger, Has anyone suggestions, I particularly wanted his death as I was hoping that it would have the date his marriage on it, it wasn't on his widows death certificate ,her name was Harriet Martin, born Ireland about 1824, her age on her death certificate is wrong it has 60,I have searched everywhere for the marriage.

Thank you
Ann
