Ah, this is great. There were two possible deaths I found for him in the death register, one a few years earlier and this one, I wasn't sure how I was going to determine which one was his without taking a guess or buying both certificates.

I will be ordering that today then. Thank you so much, I wasn't expecting that there would be any mention of him to be honest.

Many thanks 🙂

Thank you very much maddys52 for taking the time to relay all that information, that's wonderful. It is all very interesting.

My great great grandfather is listed as a boot maker/finisher and is living in Bynes Road, during 1870/80s so am assuming he must have worked at the factory.

I have been trying to research what was happening in the area as it all adds to building up a picture of their day to day lives, but I only found mention of the Factory the other day, so it is a new area to look into. Such a shame the building has been demolished.

Many thanks,
Ann

Thanks for your help Jim, that's roundabout what we were thinking but we weren't too sure.

Yes, we were thinking that the groom looked quite a bit older. We did wonder if it was another family member but they have their arms entwined!

Thanks for the baptism information. I believe there is a connection between the Barnett family and my Darvill family.

Thomas Barnett is a witness to Henry Darvill's marriage in 1846 at St Pancras Old Church. Henry is brother to the James Darvill listed with the Barnetts in the 1841 Census.

There is also a Sarah Barnett witness to one of my other Darvills marriage in 1826. I've been trying to work out if there's an actual family connection between them (rather than they're just friends/neighbours etc.)

Yes, beginning to look like Thomas must have died too, haven't had any luck in the census records for him.
