Many thanks for your kind help. Unfortunately, when I received a copy of this death cert it turned out that this Elizabeth Worgan was the widow of a John Worgan (general labourer) of Newport, St Woollos parish & aged 74.
Whereas the Elizabeth Worgan I am seeking is aged 83 on the 1861 census for Newland - Widow, formerly a farmers wife. As she was living in the Almshouses there I thought she might have been buried in Newland churchyard or at Staunton where her husband William lies buried. So still searching - but many thanks once again.

Searching for the burial of Elizabeth Worgan (widow of William of Whitson Farm, near Newport, who was buried 1848 at Staunton). She was listed on the 1861 census as living in the Almshouses at Newland, aged 83. No trace of a burial at Newland, Staunton or Coleford Cemetery nor does she appear on the 1871 or 1881 census. She was born circa 1778 at Caldicot, Mon & as far as I know left no children. Anybody come across her? Many thanks for any help.
