Yes I agree

I have been checking the Warwickshire burials on Ancestry with no luck

Death registration Apr-Jun 1873 Solihull, Elizabeth Strickley, age 83, vol 6d p 297. Burial at Temple Balsall 20 Apr 1873, Elizabeth Strickley, abode Balsall, age looks like 80 but second digit is not very clear.

Update:

Thomas Strickley is married on the 1871 census but his wife isn't with him. Piece 3197, folio 84, p 28.

Interestingly enough, there is an Elizabeth age 80, married, born Knowle, living at The Spring, Kenilworth, on the 1871 census. Ancestry have transcribed her surname as Steckley but it could well be Strickley. So I reckon that's her with her real age and she knocked a few (a lot!) years off when she married Thomas because she was so much older than him. Piece 3197, folio 29, p 16.

I'll have a look at that

Then it goes forward to about 1810 and then the last image is 1823-4. I can't see Feb 1815 in there anywhere. I wonder where FamilySearch got it from. If only we can find an image to check somewhere... but anyway, I bet it's them.

Haseley is about 7-8 miles away from Knowle so could well be

Thanks Kate.

I'll look at all of this a little later. That may be a cert to send for.

Haseley has an OPC, so you could email him and see if he can look up the 1815 marriage?

I've never used an OPC before. Do they charge?

No, it's against their principles:
