Hi, I have emailed the records office in the vain hope that some kind soul could will confirm that the Death Register is extant and
where it is, given the boundary change in the same decade. I have asked if they could confirm the date of death reported.
There is no point getting another copy as clearly there has only been a difference in the interpretation of the age at death on
the facsimile.
We are faced with the possibility that the informant guessed the age,however Amphlett maintains the gravestone said 65.
However that could have been an approximation by the next of kin too?
I do know that a lot of the family had left the Clent area in the mid 19th century, some to West Bromwich then to Lancashire.
If I hear from the records office I will get back.
Meantime old Elizabeth Boughton nee Lines was 65 in 1843 until someone persuades me otherwise. One has to keep an open mind
though!

Ok so whoever noted the death certif info on free bmd it says 65 and you say mr Amphlett said 65 too

So I will request a look up at worcs if anyone can look up the burial

best of luck getting info out of regis office some more helpful than others
they normally like you to buy the certif and it all adds up
I have spent hundreds on them over the years could wallpaper rooms with what I have.

So I will make a note on Bcc

and yes do let us know what they say moving this to brickwalls
as we are still stuck with who Elizabeth Lines is........................

Burial
6th February. St Leonard, Clent.
Elizabeth Boughton, aged 65, Clent

Just seen this will add that so burial agrees with 65 too.

Thanks to everyone for the time they have spent on this one!
If I get any response from the RO I will get back to you.
Kind regards
