   Burial definitely on 28th Jan, one of several that day, - which, come to   
   think of it, might suggest that bodies had been "accumulating" because   
   freezing weather had been holding up burials,   
      
   The gap between death and burial was one of the reasons I thought maybe   
   it wasn't the same person.  Also the fact that the DC says "Pauper" and   
   no mention of the husband, who I am fairly certain died later that year.   
      
   On the other hand, I thought they were perhaps the same person because   
   there doesn't seem to be a corresponding burial for the Workhouse death   
   nor a corresponding death registration for the St Luke's burial.
