just a bit miffed now.. been looking at a person and their death doesn't appear in the GRO index [to find out her age] yet it does appear in FreeBMD/Ancestry so how can I order a PDF of said death when it doesn't appear in their index? [and have sent a 'correction too' not that that will help] as they generally say no amendment needed.. fat lot of good that is when you want to order a pdf!

there is also Thomas aged 0 that is underneath Marys registration and I wondered if it were a child of hers, but I have discounted it as it has diff MMN. I'll split this out into a seperate thread in a mo..Julie

I searched for Watchom on GRO that Judith found yesterday and couldn't get that to come up no matter how I changed the options. Then I looked for Watchorn and it is has already been amended to Watchorn. That was quick!!!! - I assume one of you must have reported it?Last edited by Katarzyna; 17-09-18, 10:17.Kat

Name: George Watchorn
Residence: of Hose
Spouse: Mary Rippon
Marriage Date: 1790
Parish: Melton Mwby Lcs 3
I know that they had 3 children
Sarah b. 1791 d.1791
John b. 1791 have no idea where he went can't find him anywhere!
Sarah b. 1792 d.1860 [This Sarah is my gt gt gt Grandmother]
I know that both Sarah 1 and Johns surname was noted as WatchEn at their baptism yet when Sarah 2 married it had changed to WatchHorn.
the whole reason for looking for a death for Mary is that I cannot find either Mary or George Watchorn in ANY census, so was wondering if either had died and therefore re married.. they only had the three children that I can see..
been stuck here for so long and can't move backwards! and its a mainline too!Julie

oooh I see what you mean, I think from reading that they update on a Monday.. so perhaps that is why? and yes I did report it too.. just a shame that others I have reported give out the 'no amendment' guff even though clearly there are errors.. never mind at least I know now that it isn't 'my Mary'

Hi Julie have done a little Googling, and came up with the following - whether it is for your lot I don't know. A website with all things old Melton Mowbray has a copy of a letter written to the paper in 1882 by a Josiah Waite. It's a very long letter but he is recalling his memories of old Melton. One of them is about an incident in 1824:
Under the date 21st May, 1824, Mr Brereton records “a dreadful thunderstorm. accompanied by hail.” “Old Watchorn was killed by lightning on or near the Great Dalby-road.” I remember the circumstances perfectly well: he lived in King-street, at the first house next door to the Town Hall, and adjoining the entry that led up to the Bridewell, kept at that time by old John Black, the Town Officer. I also remember old George Watchorn’s clothes being exhibited,and saw them myself; they were exhibited in a passage or entry belonging to Dr. Reuben Whitchurch.
I then had a look in the papers for that date and found a short item about it saying a poor man named Watchorn, a shepherd to W Hill Esq, was on the road to Dalby walking to his master's house carrying a fork over his shoulder. They think the fork attracted the lightning and he was struck to the ground. He was carried home in a lifeless state and expired shortly after.
Any chance this is your George?

On FMP George is listed as George Watchom, b 1758, d. 1824. They also have a Mary Watchorn b 1758 died 1828 in Melton Mowbray- the age is a bit out but could she be yours? (I can only see search results for FMP, not got a sub).Linda
