Yes, of course. I picked up the Masonry reference yesterday. It's just that I am unable to find where he may be buried, as he died at Quarry Bank Penmon (but not buried there) and his widow and some relatives are in Anfield, Liverpool, but he isn't. So where? He was clearly a prominent and popular member of local society - and had been in his previous position near Mold - and from a religious family.
The son mentioned, Charles Percy, was only 7 in 1880. A younger brother was born at Penmon in March 1878 and named after his dead father, but he died in Liverpool in 1881, soon after his grandfather. All were in Liverpool at the 1881 census, and it seems unlikely that they would return briefly to Mold (Nannerch) from Penmon for sentimental reasons?
Yes, I wondered about the typhoid. He died at home, not in a hospital or infirmary. Any ideas? Buried at sea?
