Southam Parish Burials FLANDERS

[TheGrove]

I would appreciate it if someone could confirm an entry in the Southam Parish Burials.

FindMyPast lists the same record twice but with conflicting dates.

Isaac Flanders buried 17 Feb 1849 age 24 "hanged" but on the same day there is another entry in the transcription with age 35.

These records are also on Ancestry, but for some reason the images of the registers are not available.

Please could someone confirm the correct age and whether the parish register sheds any more light on the note that he was "hanged", accidental or sentence?

If it was a sentence any clues as to the circumstances or court?

Thanks,

FreeBMD only has the above Isaac Flanders.
Looked at the War CRO criminal database & there's no Isaac Flanders listed but he may have been sentenced somewhere else.
You may have to get his death cert.

Thank you for this.

I also had a look into the Newspaper Archive for incidents / cases / executions that might be noted but perhaps the relevant paper has not been scanned yet.

Thanks.
