Hello...
A bit more, I looked for a burial for Arthur's father but there isn't one on the FHS burial index.
But I think this death is likely to be his.
Deaths Sep 1850
TUCKWOOD John - Nottingham 15 366
Nottinghamshire Guardian - Thursday 1st August 1850
Sudden Death in Nottingham - On Tuesday, and by adjournment on Wednesday, an inquest was held before Mr. Coroner Browne, on the body of JOHN TUCKWOOD, aged 35, butcher.
On Sunday night the deceased was on Parliament Street in a state of intoxication. A number of lads were teasing him, and he kicked at one of them, upon which they knocked him down. He then staggered to a friend's house in Trumpet Street, and asked him to find him a night's lodging. He took him to a house of a man named Shelton, where he was put to bed.
He was immediately taken very ill, and Mr Maltby, surgeon at the Dispensary, was sent for. He found him suffering from an epileptic fit and applied the usual remedies, but the man died on Tuesday morning. A post mortem examination was made by Mr Maltby, who stated that there were no internal marks of violence.
Verdict: Died from effusion of water on the brain.
Sheila.
