Hi Barbara,

I have done some telephone research and have now found Maurice Stanley Burden´s death year.

Death:- Maurice Stanley Burden   1973  1q Norwich O volume 4B Page 2608

Can you confirm

Hi Muffin,

Yes, must have dismissed it first time round when I was looking for Maurice Leslie and Fakenham or Walsham districts

BURDEN Maurice Stanley,  1973 Norwich O  4b 2608
date of birth 25 July 1888 althouth the birth reg I gave you earlier is 1889 so death cert could show wrong birth year, all depends on whether the informant knew correct age

 
Kind regards, Barbara

Hi Barbara,

You gave this in a early posting:-

Maurice's birth registration is Sep 1889 Malmesbury 5a   57
BURDEN    Maurice Stanley         (not Maurice Leslie as in your first posting)

I believe that the death in Norwich has the birth year wrong

Kind regards,

Muffin

Yes, I already said this.  The birth reg will be correct, there isn't one for him in 1888, and whoever informed at the death maybe wouldn't know exactly how old Maurice was, but could well have known his birthday, just got the year wrong.  You can never believe all you see in certificates, or census either!

You are right there Barbara, I don´t believe all the info I receive either!

I think that we have solved this topic now and can believe 99%  of the information

Thanks again for your help, kind regards,
