Hi Mike,

Thanks very much for looking.

Could you confirm whether that 1902 date is actually correct, and not a typo for 1802?

I'm looking for a John Pool(e), butcher of Barlestone, who died between 27/8/1802 and sometime in 1803.

Hi Mike,

Do you have Barlestone burials on your discs?

If so, could you check out John Pool, who died in 1803?

I'm hoping it'll give his age (should be about 56 if it's the person I'm looking for).

I'm also looking for the death of his wife Rebecca, born c. 1753. She will have died between about 1785 and 1802, but as I don't know the exact date, please don't waste time looking for her at the Records Office if you don't have them on disc.
