Germany death record
« on: Saturday 28 May 22 09:36 BST (UK) »
Please could some kind person, help me find a death record for James Warburton in the
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern,  area of Germany in 1877.   
I am hoping he is the ancestor of my husband who seems to have disappeared from Leeds after being found guilty of fraud. He could have returned there as he had previously lived, worked and committed his crime there but was  tried in this country as it was a British company.  His wife name was Amelie.
Many thanks, Jan

The death certificate was dated 28 May 1877, issued at Doberan. The informant was Amalie Warburton nee Tiedt. 

James Warburton, aged 63, born Louth.

Beyond that. I'm in difficulty reading the German script - perhaps someone else can translate:

Amalie Warburton, born Tiedt, living in Walkenhagen, reports the death of her husband,
the pensioner James Warburton, 63 years old, Evangelical religion.
He died in Walkenhagen on the 25th of May 1877 at 7.30AM.
He was born in Louth, England, son of the late James Warburton, blanket manufacturer*, and his late wife Elisabeth, born Peel.

*I read Deckenfabrikanten.

Thank you both so much, that’s him. We never knew what happened to him but were told he skipped bail before sentencing, when there was a query over the legality of the case being heard in the uk. Jan

Thanks again. Abraham was my husbands 2x gr grandfather, James’ brother, who could ill afford the money. The story as we know is that James had originally been in partnership with Cunliffe Lister trying to find a way of using the waste threads from silk weaving. James had to pull out of the partnership when he ran out of money but continued to work for C L on the project and was eventually successful, inventing the loom that made velvet but all the recognition and financial rewards went to C L, leaving James very bitter! In later years James was recognised for the part he played.
