Hi Jax & Linda, Thank you so much for your replies. I haven't been able to find this
Hood family in the 1841 census. The youngest son was chistened in Chippenham in 1834 & William's wife Elizabeth was listed in the 1851 census as a widow. I haven't been able to find a burial record either. Oh well I'll keep looking. Thanks once again. It's nice to know there are people out there willing to listen & help.
Regards Sheryl

Hi Sheryl welcome to the boards

The only way of finding out is by purchasing the cert...no one can view them

Only other way is finding a burial, I have looked but not seeing one for that time

Hi there, I've found 2 possible death records on Free BMD for my gggrandfather William Hood. One is in Dec quarter 1845 Vol 8, Page 173. Second is March quarter 1849 Vol 8 Page 216. I wondered if someone could possibly check these for me to see which might be the one I'm after so I can order the right certificate. I haven't been able to find a birth or christening record for him either but think he would have been born around 1780,s. He married Elizabeth Vines at Bremhill on 3 Oct 1812. They appear to have lived most of their married life in Chippenham & had 4 sons Thomas, Henry, Alfred & George. Any help in identifying the correct record would be much appreciated.
