Oh thank you Elizabeth!

We always joked that Thomas was probably in his house on census night, but dead bodies were not included!

Actually, do we know what the protocol was in those days re the dec'd before burial? These days the coffin is kept at the funeral parlour/undertaker's, but I always imagine the coffin maker coming to the house and measuring up the body, then bringing the coffin to the house and the funeral starting from there a day or two later. Did people leave the coffin lid off so others could pay their respects? I've been to a lot of funerals, but most were pretty clinical affairs and I've never seen an open casket except in the chapel of rest.

Mum remembers her maiden great-aunt taking mum and mum's sister to view the dead body of their next door neighbour as a sort of afternoon treat when mum was aged about three.
