Thomas Ellis

[Shrop63]

Hello all, i,mtrying to find a death cert for my GGG GF Thomas, he moved the family to Bradley nr Bilston around 1850 and shows up in the 1861 census but not the 1871. He was married to Rebecca. I have 3 possibilities where can i get a cert? Thanks Neil

The best place to get a certificate is the GRO

You have three possibilities perhaps we can see if we can help before you order. 

When and where was he born

ADDED  Do you have Rebecca and the children on census after 1861

There are 6 Thomas Ellis deaths in the Wolverhampton RD between 1861-1871 but ages were only shown from the mid-late 1860's

4 of the entries are possibles

1862
1863 x 2
1868

For elimination purposes at the moment freereg only has one burial for this period in Bilston (1862)
