Member Since: June 2005 Posts: 525 Send Message	Hi, Does anyone have access to the Wolverhampton burial records? Family Search has a Matthew Grogan burial for 29/6/1847 with his age as 71 years but FMP has his age given as 41 yrs. Can someone please tell me which is right? Also can the burial of Mary Grogan be checked, I have this for the 4th qtr. 1857 with her age given as 35yrs. Are these related?? Any help appreciated. Thank you Kath

Member Since: June 2005 Posts: 525 Send Message	I don't know, can only say he was buried on the 29/6/1847 according to FMP which doesn't tally with either of those??? Thanks for looking Kath

Free to use. https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/indexes_search.asp It's only failing at the moment as far as i know is that all values are in years, it as yet doesn't distinguish ages in months or weeks. There are 2 Matthew Grogan's 1847 Results: Name: Age at Death (in years): GROGAN, MATTHEW 23 Order GRO Reference: 1847 M Quarter in WOLVERHAMPTON & SEISDON Volume 17 Page 355 GROGAN, MATTHEW 71 Order GRO Reference: 1847 S Quarter in WOLVERHAMPTON & SEISDON Volume 17 Page 266
