Hello All Who Replied,
My apologies for not getting back to you for I did not get any notifications from RC!?
Good news is that the death record is here which we are waiting for so long! Susano is correct that it will take up to 3 months which is the correct length of waiting I have experienced!
Well, sadly, the death record does not state the date of death.
It stated:
George Thompson
no date of death Just a cross
Place of Death: Sanford
Male
Age: 70 (not right age but that is to be expected in those days)
Occupation or Calling: Labourer
Religious Denomination: Roman Catholic (Sounds right but he was originally CoE but somehow became Catholic when married to his first wife (my great great grandmother))
Where born: England (wish more specific)
Cause of Death: Suddenly
Name of Physican: None mentioned
Informant & Residence: Martha Thompson, Sanford (he does have a daughter named that with his second wife)
Registered when: January 28, 1906
Name of Clerk: H. Grolls or Grills
Is there any way we could verfiy that this is my great great grandfather's death record??
I think it is a bit strange that he would be considered Roman Catholic when he married his second wife in CoE??? Ummm....
I would welcome any advice on this. I do hope we could close the chapter on this particular ancestor.
Hard to believe that they would record his death without the date of death.
As to Ducky1, you are more than welcome to PM me directly--that goes the same for other relatives.
Delighted to hear from all of you.
Thank YOU for your patience and waiting for me to get back to you with new information.
Kind regards,
Tees
