Seems it is not so much that the death is "missing" (as per title), more that there are a few possibles, any or none of which may be the right one.
I cant see how you will progress without starting to rule out (or in) those possibles. If one of them is the right one, then problem solved!
Have you looked for Wills - to rule out or in any of the deaths and thus narrow the possibilities?

I think you are right. No saying any are right though.

Have found no will either.

Sorry I explained that badly. It sounded right as it left my brain.

Mary was at her ancestral Lambert home with her brothers when the letter was written.

As you say though he is probably dead then.

Yes she was first to marry. First son John didnt marry, James T married 1857, no mention of father being deceased, Alfred George married 1866 noted as deceased.

I have always assumed Independent meant of independent means or her personal status?

I also have a confusing transcript of a letter between the elder sons, which incidently I am convinced is transcribed wrongly, but written April 1841 saying "I suppose you know that mother is to leave " and that he is going back to London with her. I dont think this means leave Thomas, but leave Marys family home in Essex where they were. Yet in (June) 1841 census they are back in Essex nearby. But back in London 1851. Many more confusions in that letter but I have to accept that it was written by a 13 year old.

Confusion reigns.

Yes Thanks, got those as possibles. And 1837 Rotherhithe (though other side of river again).

I was hoping someone may have something not in the usual records.

1836/7 not in the BMDs anyway, so even if I bought all 4 death certs no saying he is one of them. Equally I dont know he is not a death in Ripon or Ashton.

Thanks. I have that as a possibility. I am doubtful as I have no records of him or family including going back 2 further generations ever being south of the river. As I said nothing to connect.

I should have mentioned no sign of him in 1841 census. However for all I know he could have gone anywhere else too.

I dont think the 'institutions' named people in their walls in 1841 did they? Could he have been in, say a debtors prison?

However I think I am looking for a death 1836 to 41 more likely.

I have one of those annoying holes in my research and I hope someone can help.

I know a lot about my GGG Grandfather Thomas Fawcett, born to William and Ann in 1804 in London.
Marriage to Mary Lambert in 1824 in Panfield Essex. The births of his children, and his John James Alice and Alfred all in the East End of London, and his Bankruptcy in 1829. But I have nothing on his death.

Last Son Alfred George was born in 1836. Wife Mary is in Bocking with children in 1841 census described as Independent, but no Thomas. 1851 census Mary back in London and described as Widow. At daughetr Alices Wedding in 1853 described Father as Late Thomas.

So somewhere between 1836 and probably 1841 there may be a death, but I cant find one with any tie back to the family or really any of right sort of age. I assume either London or Essex.

Can you help please? Does this family connect to yours? - better still please get in contact.

Essex / Re: Steel LAMBERT of Great Dunmow - help/advice please

I am one of the people Marion referred to above with an interest in the Lambert Family.

The information she gave I also have.

Jeffrey was born around 1719 I think at Alphamstone and died 29 Jul 1780 and buried 4 Aug 1780 at Panfield St Marys, where you can still find his Gravestone.

I have further information, but as I have only just joined Rootschat it seems I am not allowed to message you yet. Another day.

Denis is my wifes GGGrandfather. I would be grateful for any information you have.

We have a copy of Marys bastardy bond and his history beyond, but have found no further evidence of her. How did you connect to Susan who is one of our possibles but we also have a possible from Norton?

Denis birth is 30 Jan 1817.
