William Mosley in Dipton

[Elliven]

Can anyone please help with William Mosley who was a joiner and undertaker and appeared on the 1881 census with his large family living in Dipton.  After that I have lost track of him except for a reference to his eldest son John who emigrated to New Zealand about 1887.  I have not been able to find out whether the whole family went with him or whether he went alone.  Many thanks.

Thank you - that seems to suggest he stayed in England and did not go to New Zealand with his son

possible burial in 1916 at Stanley Cemetery
from a list available a long time ago online, from Durham Council but they took them down and said they had errors. I'd saved the .pdfs though so still have them and so far they have proved to be correct.

Entry 458. William Mosley, age 83, died at Workhouse Infirmary, Lanchester, buried 11 Oct,  site 9, plot 36

Durham Records Online have the same info.

That burial now looks likely given the son in law's name in this notice
Consett Guardian 13 Oct 1916, page 8 col 8

Thank you Boo,

This is undoubtedly the right man.  His daughter Lizzie (Elizabeth) was married to a man named Thomas Wood.  The only difference is that they lived at a different address from the last known address at the time of the 1911 Census - but the addresses were both quite close together.  His family in New Zealand will be delighted.

Sadly, his wife, Elizabeth, and 7 year old daughter, Florence, both died in 1882/1883 but I have not been able to find their deaths or he causes.  Possibly an epidemic of some sort.

Thank you emeltom,

They look right and the location of Newcastle seems to indicate deaths in hospital as there were no major hospitals in the Dipton area - where they lived.  This makes me think TB, Scarlet Fever or something equally bad.  Thank you, I will check this out
