Burials at Greinton:

27 April 1820 William Burch aged 43
10 June 1827 William Burch infant
15 May 1829 William Burch aged 20
5 August 1871 William Burch aged 33

Would the first one fit your William? Therefore he would have been born. c. 1777.

oh thanks for that. I have seen the list without the ages. Mary was born about 1778 so the first one would fit nicely. I have already accounted for number 4 a grandson and number 3 could be an older child.

Would this be Mary's burial?

11 Feb 1854 Mary Burch aged 78

Are there any other names you would like me to check, Anne?

Yes that's Mary's burial I have her death certificate. If it is easy to check I wonder if there are any more infant Burch deaths in Grenton between 1802 and 1820. John born 1814 seems to have inherited a farm and Jane about 1817 is my ancestor but it seems strange not to have older children.

Anne, it's odd because there are burials from 1749 to 1775, and then a big gap until your William in 1820, followed by the two I gave you for Williams for 1827 and 1829.

The next one is a burial for John BUrch aged 2 in 1845, then nothing until Mary in 1854.

thanks for looking.
