England and Wales Non-Conformist and Non-Parochial Registers - ancestry

[BlueSavannah]

Wow, just found a couple more children my great x 4 grandparents had. Now to find what became of them (presumably died )

[Lindsay]

Well, I've found the burial of my 5x great-aunt in 1831 aged 20, which fits nicely with when she disappears from some legal documents I've found.

It doesn't, however, explain why her gravestone has her dying in 1839 at the age of 28

Usually my family don't die at all. It makes a change to have someone who died twice!

lol Have you seen the stone, or is that a transcription? Dates are often extremely difficult to read!

[Lindsay]

To be fair, it was a transcription - done by a kind soul who lived locally, as it's at the wrong end of the country for me. However, he did say it was in good condition and easy to read.

One day I'll get up there and see for myself.

This database has just been updated, and there are now over 5.7 million records, but I'm pretty sure it has previously been updated a few times since it was new and I just haven't posted on this thread. So I don't know what's new right now, but if you haven't looked for a while, should be worth another look.

The database goes up to 1936.

I would have thought that RG4 and RG5 have been around and available so long that updates there would only be corrections. RG8, however, appears to include all sorts of things, including municipal cemeteries, so that may well be continue to be added to.
