The GRO ref 15 65 is shown as aged 36 - burial 9.11.1838 at St George but age 34
The other is 74 and more likely to be "John"

I am myself wondering now why the search seemed to suddenly stop... midway..... there must have been a very good reason.. but for the life of me..... cannot pinpoint it. 
It may have been the 2nd Flood we had --- I remember that was around that time so ... I will check that out..

Was just going to post that I think John Raven has been listed as 'James' in error in their index.    Death Dec.qtr.1838 and GRO Index states he was 74!   (Another James Raven in same quarter was aged 34).   Burials index shows, correctly, a John 74 and a James 34 but GRO have it as 2 James'. 

However, I now see you seem to have this information already.

Thank you Annette

which is hung in shame...

Received the cert for James and it is JAMES  not John!   however it states John Brother as informant???

So still wondering on this one :( 

Sorry to have been a pain (I get worse I know :( :( )


xin

PS :   NOTE THE ADDRESS  is correct for my family... they did live in Bridge Street.. at least some of them did.

So will do some more research on this.  Thanks

Xin

Strange cause of death!

So it looks to me as if the burial has been recorded in the wrong name - John rather than James?

Don't want to be negative, but surely one answer is that the death was just not registered?  We all know there are masses of gaps, especially in the early years.  However, hope you resolve the problem.
