Hello all!
I’m looking for - but failing to find - the death/burial of my ancestor Charles Furnivall. The details that I have for him so far are:
Born: 15 October 1811
Bapt: 30 December 1812, Sandbach, Cheshire.
Marr: Elizabeth
Charles was a plumber and glazier.
Any help appreciated.

What is your last sighting of him? Is it the 1891 census?
Is this his death? The chap below was age 85 (birth year 1812).
Name: Charles C Furnival
Registration Year: 1897
Event Place: Nantwich, Cheshire, England
Registration Quarter: Jan-Feb-Mar
County: Cheshire

Thank you, Hillhurst! ;) That will certainly be him and the ‘C’ will be Culcheth. Just the burial to locate.

My only sighting for him is on the 1851 census living on Wheelock Road, Sandbach with his wife, Elizabeth and his seven children.

He's definitely in most (if not all) census records up to 1891. Looks like had a second wife named Mary Booth. They married in Sept 1864. His first wife Elizabeth (nee Lovekin) must've died before 1864.
Are you searching for him via Ancestry, FindMyPast, or Family Search?
ADDED: In the 1861 census, his surname is transcribed as "Furnivalt".

I want to order up Charles’ death certificate, but I need the Volume and page numbers, however when I typed out his name in Cheshire BMD it wasn’t coming up and I cannot find it on FreeBMD either and I spelt his surname as you had spelt it.
Don’t know what I am doing incorrectly unless there is a glitch in the system?
