Norfolk / Re: Missing in Civil Registration Death Index?

How old was he please?

He was 64 according to the burial records, the burial records say he was born abt 1806 but I have him listed as 1811 as I have his baptism record. 🙂

What age was he on the 1861 census.  He might have been baptised as a child with other siblings.

The only ancestor I couldn't find in the death index was one who died in 1837 although her name was in the Parish Record for her burial - which also, conveniently, gave her date of death.  The archivist who found the parish record for me assumed that as she had died just after registration started no-one thought about registering her death. 

Perhaps as the circumstances of your 3 x g.grandfather's death were reported in newspapers, the family didn't think they needed to register the death.

London and Middlesex / Re: John Leach & Louisa Spencer

I don't think the Louisa in the Union Home, Fetcham is the same person as that Louisa was born in Fetcham and looks like she was married to a Stephen Leach.

Just goes to show how careful you have to be on checking what's on Ancestry, especially as some of the other details were correct.

On Ancestry one of the trees has Louisa dying oops sorry, buried on 28 January 1892.   Her address given as  Union Home, Fetcham, Surrey (I guess that was a workhouse) aged 79.  That would fit in with her dob, so you might find her in 1871 in Surrey, if not in 1861.  If it is her, she didn't remarry after her husband's death.

Have you got John Leach's death certificate to see who the informant was and the address where he died?  That might help place the family in 1861.

LizzieW - I just entered Frances Ranby under the "Britain - all categories" and that was the first entry.

I was probably trying to hard, I went to Newspapers and then had to put in county, etc.!!

I finally found the newspaper entry, via FindMyPast

Lincolnshire Chronicle - 3 January 1862 - page 8

At the Wesleyan Chapel, Stamford on Saturday last (by the Reverend W Chambers) Fredk. Joseph Bell of St Martin's, to Frances Ranby of All Saints'.

I couldn't find that when I looked, will have another look just for my satisfaction!

As FreeBMD has the marriage in the October/November/December quarter of 1861 then the marriage must have taken place during those months.  The fact that you say there is a marriage notice on 2.1.1862 in the Lincs Chronicle (although I couldn't find that), suggests the couple married late in December, possibly Christmas Day as many people did in those days as it was the only day they had off work.

As emeltom says, if you want to know the exact date you will have to buy the marriage certificate.  I've searched FindMyPast but the only info is what FreeBMD has, likewise Ancestry.

Wiltshire / Re: William Arthur MARTIN ......disappears after 1901

Marlborough College is where Catherine Princess of Wales and her sister went.  I think that's the only boarding school in Marlborough and probably was in 1901.
