Liverpool Death 1829-1830

[Hutchin_Graham]

Hi
       can some kind Scouser please help me to find the death of my 4xGt Grandfather Lister Ellis. He was a Banker and founding director of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. He lived at 5 Rodney Street, Liverpool. He made his will in 1829 and is mentioned in a pamphlet written in 1830 by Henry Booth as the late Mr Lister Ellis.
       Finding his death would be great, finding his grave would be top 

Hope someone can help me,

Bye for now,
                    Hutchin Graham.

There's a photo of a Lister Ellis b. 1814 on this IoM site (towards the bottom of the page)- is that his son?

Hi,
    thanks for the reply 

Yes Lister jnr was born in Cumberland in 1813 and later moved to IOM and married a Manx lady. Later still, he moved to Liverpool ( possibly due to his Father's death) and ended his days in Ormskirk.

Bye for now,
                    Hutchin

On NA's documents online, the Will is listed with the date 30 December 1829. The date shown is normally the date the Will was proved so presumably he must have died some time before that.

I had a look in The Times Digital Archive and Palmer's Index but didn't any reference in the 1828-1830 period.

              many thanks for your attempt to find the info. 
Do you have any suggestions as to what my next step should be?

Bye for now,

Hi, Hutchin_Graham and Billo,

Billo, did it give a grave ref number, or isn't the church yard very big. I could go and take the pictures if you wish, the next time I pass.

Cheers,

Red

Hi Red,
           many thanks for your interest in my quest, 
and many, many thanks for your offer to take some pix, that would be brilliant
or, as they say today, that would be top. I'll look forward to hearing from you. 

Bye for now,
                    Hutchin.
