Death of Samuel lennox, grocer, July 13, 1887, Londonderry
« on: Wednesday 04 May 22 20:55 BST (UK) »
I found the death of Samuel Lennox on July 13, 1887 in Londonderry. He was a grocer. I have his will which names his living children. His son Samuel John was present at his death. Samuel John died the following year, Apr 22, 1888.
Trouble is, I am trying to fit him into my tree. I think his parents were John Lennox and Sarah Jane Latimer.  Perhaps if there was a writeup for him naming relatives, I would be able to prove or disprove this. I think his father predeceased him before 1861 but of course, that death is before compulsory registration and may have taken place in England. His mother may also have died in England in 1875.
Can anyone help with this matter? Thank you so much.

Find My Past is free for many records. I am not a paying member but I found the record put up by Aghadowey with no problems.  It is probably a good choice to enrol in, same as with Family Search.   :)

Thank you aghadowey, KG, and shanreagh. I did manage to find the transcript on FindmyPast on second try so I see father John. I now think Samuel's mother is NOT Sarah Jane Latimer but still researching that. I had hoped that being a grocer, perhaps Samuel would have more of a writeup about his death. Is there any death notice for Eliza Jane Lennox nee Nutt, dod Apr 11, 1881?
