This coffin plate for Mrs Jennie S Bingham Aged 19 yrs was found in Kansas USA. Submited by Thomas Roberts. Thanks Thomas.
From the style of this coffin plate I would say it is from the 1860s or maby the 1870s I first went and had a hunt for Mrs Jennie S Bingham Aged 19 yrs in the 1860 United States Federal Census on Ancestry.com. I found several individuals of interest as you can see below.

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.
