Title: Death registration look up
Post by: Helina on Sunday 25 April 21 18:11 BST (UK)

Hoping someone can help.  Been looking for the death registration for Thomas Harrison, he was buried at Stanton Gloucestershire on the 11th January 1847 age 68.  That is all the details I have.

Any assistance would be appreciated

Have you looked at FreeBMD?  Could be have died away from the area and buried 'back at home'?

From the Gloucester Journal 16th January 1847
Report of inquest at Stanton on Thomas Harrison, labourer aged 68. He died after a short illness and rumours of poisoning led to the inquest. No poison found so natural causes was the verdict.

I am looking into this death for a friend and I know she will be pleased with your find Comberton, she was hoping to order a death certificate to find out how he died.

I had searched FreeBMD, GRO, familysearch and Find My Past the only other site I had not searched is ancestry which I do not subscribe to.

Thank you for your help.
