Free Genealogy Death Record on the Coffin Plate of Jennell Douglas 1833 ~ 1883
Jennell Douglas
Died Dec 5th 1883
Aged 50 yrs 11 mon
This coffin plate for Jennell Douglas 1833 ~ 1883 was found in Boston, Mass USA. Submited by Thomas Roberts. Thanks Thomas.
I went and had a hunt for Jennell Douglas 1833 ~ 1883 in the 1870 and 1880 United States Federal Census on Ancestry.com. I did not have any luck in finding her so I had another look at the photo of the coffin plate and I think her name could be Jennett. I have put some of the hits that I thought were of intrest below.
If you want to see the full record I have a link to Ancestry at the bottom of the page.

Coffin plates often contain birth and death dates, and sometimes the place of birth or the occupation of a deceased person.
While not technically a true vital record, coffin plates can be seen as a substitute for vital records or at the least a good clue. In the case of people who died before civil registration it might be one of the few written records genealogists will find in their hunt for that brick wall ancestor!
If you want to know more about what things qualify as a true Vital Records there is a good article at the Olive Tree.
Remember when searching for Coffin Plates on the net they are sometimes referred to as Coffin Plaques, Casket plates or Casket Plaques.
