Death of Charles Williams

[wiilams83]

Looking for the death of a Charles Williams I know he died between 1891-1899

1891 census he is with family wrockwardine wood 
piece 2133
Folio 9


Charles Williams 51 1840
Sarah Williams 51
John Williams 20
Edwin Williams 18
Harry Williams 15
Emily Williams 13


Sarah died in 1899 and states she was a widow on her death certificate in Shropshire.

Have you looked on the GRO site for his death?

If you know the registration district for Sarah that can narrow it down.

Wrockwardine Wood is in the Wellington RD but he's not there.

I have Sarah’s death certificate from 1899 and says she is a widow but I’m not sure what happened to Charles Williams.

Yes there is no Charles Williams that died in Wellington.

There's a death of a 55 year-old Charles Williams in Shifnal (5 miles from Wrockwardine Wood) in March quarter 1897 which is a reasonable possibility - you've probably seen -

Given Charles worked in an Iron Foundry, could he perhaps have been working there?

However, you are unlikely to find out without paying for a death cert, which may be the wrong one.

If it were me, I'd be looking at GRO for possible Shropshire deaths in the reasonable local area, matching age (though may be a year or two out), and then seeing which seemed most likely.

Good luck!

Could he have gone to Cannock for some reason?

Deaths

WILLIAMS, CHARLES       53 
GRO Reference: 1893  D Quarter in CANNOCK  Volume 06B  Page 332

Gives a birth year of 1840

[Girl Guide]

There is a burial record for a Charles Williams on 2nd November 1893 at Bishopswood, St. John the Evangelist. Age given as 53, birth year 1840.

I am assuming that the above relates to the Cannock registered death in 1893 that I gave earlier.

Bishopswood is about 15 miles away from Wrockwardine.
