Burial of Maria ROBINSON, Sunningwell parish, 1840
« on: Thursday 12 September 19 16:21 BST (UK) »
If anyone is going to BRO Reading, could you please check this burial record for me?

BFHS (via FindMyPast) and OFHS both have the date as 20 January 1840; all well and good, I thought.

However, the GRO record states that Maria ROBINSON died on 27 January at 11am and her death was registered on the same day.  Informant was a neighbour, present at death, who 'made her mark'.

Confusing.  Does the burial date fit with others on the same page, in which case the registrar made a mistake?  Or was she buried on, say, 30 January and it's been mistranscribed?
