Hello Michael,

Tracing the name of the informant is the link. He is listed as son in law. If I can find him and his family I will be able to ascertain whether or not his wife is the daughter of the deceased and claim him.

Hello  ,
The deceased and the informant lived at separate addresses.
I`m off now to see if I can work the post and scan before everyone goes to bed.
Fingers crossed,
Hinton.

Hi Hinton  :)

I magiced it on Imageshack so we can put it here  :)




I'd say it was Stott - problem is the first letter doesn't look like the S in the Registrar's surname or the H in Heron  :-\


Think that's me for tonight!

Maybe I missed something  ???.........Who was the person that died......maybe I misunderstand death certificates.......Yes R.F. was present at a death at 24 Heron.....he may not have lived there......the person who died there may not necessarily be on the 1891 census at that address.......but someone who was cared for in ill health by the family that lived there..... All sorts of possibilities exist.........In my humble opinion if you want to make a connection I think more info is needed  :-\   :)
