Can't find a death record for either of them! COMPLETE
« on: Sunday 17 October 10 22:36 BST (UK) »
George Wakelam lived in Pattingham, Staffordshire from at least 1841 to 1861.  He is a widower in 1851 so Elizabeth, his wife, must have died between 1841 and 1851 but I get zilch records, nothing, not a thing. 

George continues to live in Pattingham but can't be found after 1861 when he is 72.  I have tried 5 years either side of 1866 AND 1876 - again nada, not one record.

I've looked on Staffordshire BMD too and I'm completely puzzled by it.

Anyone suggest anything?
