Josiah LINSEED, born Whitechapel 26/08/1840
« on: Wednesday 12 April 17 19:58 BST (UK) »
Hello, 

I wonder if someone can confirm if Josiah LINSEED, born 26/08/1840 at 12 Princes Street, WHITECHAPEL, the son of Charles, a Doll Maker, and Mary LINSEED is the same person who died of consumption at the Coldbath Fields prison in October 1866 (full reports in contemporary newspapers) ??? ???

Thank you for your help.

Your Josiah certainly spent time in prison, one record shows his occupation as dollmaker.  I would think it likely it is the same person who died 1866 - also mentions father Charles

Thanks rosie99,

I am 99% certain he is one and the same person EXCEPT the newspaper reports I mentioned, which are very contradictory, cast some doubts.   Nevertheless, I am glad you are of the same opinion as to his identity 8)

For now,
