Thanks again Roy,

is there a way of finding the death for the parents of the family (Richard and Elizabeth Vickers). I notice there is a possible burial for Richard but no age is given. Also, where do you get this burial information from?

And, can we find the deaths of George and Edward Vickers?

Thanks,

Peter

Ah I suspect the Maxey website is for burials taken from headstone inscriptions which may be why Elizabeth Vickers (Smitheringale) is not shown; the NBI shows she is buried there in Maxey.

I suspect that 1858 death is Richard. However the NBI only has burials there for 1813-1850.

Thanks again,

Peter
