	An age (probably to the best of the informants knowledge) was added around 1867
	Researching: Middlesex, Berkshire and Somerset

Member Since: August 2004 Posts: 366 Send Message	I've found this death on Ancestry: Mary Emmett 1842 Apr-May-Jun Bury There is no birth year stated - did they only record the birth year on later registrations? Thanks, Annette
