The death of the above 7 year old was registered Q1 1853 Cockermouth district. Age at death suggests he may have been the son of "my" George & Maria. Does he turn up in any burial indices? Sometimes, for children, the registers give parents' names. That's what I'm hoping for. Family were non-con so more likely to be a cemetery than churchyard.
There's also the possibility that the 1853 Cockermouth registration was the child whose birth was registered at Whitehaven Q2 1952 and was actually 7 months old at death.
Many thanks

There are 2 deaths one Whitehaven and one Cockermouth. Suggest the Whitehaven birth is the death at Whitehaven 2nd quarter 1853. As yet can't find birth of child died Cockermouth

Hi medpat, my James's birth was registered Q3 1845 at Clerkenwell. The family moved around a lot, sprogs born all over the place, and continue to elude me in the 1851 census.
Hi Sandra, I'm confident the illegitimate son of Anthony and Mary isn't my man. If that James definitely died Q1 1853 (the curse of the unsourced ancestry tree strikes again!) then I can consider other, later, deaths, but my problem is that I can't find a James of the right age and birthplace on any of the English censuses. I know births and deaths sometimes went unregistered in the early days, but my George & Maria did register the 1841 death of their first-born so I think they were fairly law-abiding. And the couple's other children seem to have known where and when they were born, so if James made it to adulthood it seems unlikely that he wouldn't also have known.

No I can't see them 1851 and James is gone in 1861 but he is old enough to have a job and could be living in somewhere as an apprentice or servant or even in the army.
I had a gt gt uncle disappear on me and it took 4 years of on and off searching to find out what happened. ::)
New records are going online all the time and that's why I eventually caught up with Gt Gt Uncle Hezikiah.
Hope you get there soon. :)

This is yours ???
Yes :)
And thanks for the Cockermouth graveyards link.
medpat - 4 years? If only. 18 and counting. I think they'd borrowed Harry Potter's invisibility cloak for the 1851.
