UPDATE: Found safe and sound and spelt correctly
My n times great-grandparents were Joseph Lidyard and Grace Walker. Some kind soul here found their marriage in 1821 at Westerleigh, Gloucestershire, which is in Chipping Sodbury reg. district. Joseph was a farmer and they seemed to be firmly rooted in Westerleigh.
I have the family quite clearly in 1841, 1851 and 1861 (with interesting mistranscriptions, but the children all match). By 1871 Joseph is a widower, still head of family (mistranscribed Ledyard) but with his married youngest daughter Elizabeth Fairbrother and her family.RG10; 2576; 7; 5.
The only likely death I can find for Grace is:
Grace SYDIARD, q2 1867, Chipping Sodbury 6a 100, aged 72.
And that is exactly how she appears in the GRO index.
I will e-mail the local Reg. Office and send for the cert. if there's a decent chance I've found the right person. But first, is anyone able please to check the local death registrations or perhaps the NBI so I have some idea I'm not on a wild goose chase.
I spent ages today submitting corrected spellings to Ancestry for 3 different censuses.
