Researcher's notes
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.
