Did he die in the town of Biggleswade itself, or are going by the fact that he died in Biggleswade Registration District?

Where his family living in 1891 and 1901? Do you know where/if he was baptised?

FindMyPast has only the two registrations in 1899 = birth and death.  Ancestry has nothing.

Perhaps you could purchase either certificate to pinpoint his actual residence at £7.50 each.  Biggleswade RD covers a number of locations.

In case you haven't come across them, there are two ancestry trees but sadly no further information on the burial places for infant James or his parents.

I have information about James Robert Dorrington's parents (died in Sheffield) and all his siblings.

I don't have JRD's death certificate - he may have died in Arlesey where his mother came from.

So, in answer to my question in reply #1, are you saying that he died in Biggleswade Registration District, not in Biggleswade itself? There is a big difference between the two.

Perhaps that should be your next step - buy the certificate to pinpoint the death location.  :-\

It would appear that the family had been living in Arlesey in 1897 ish - 1901 census in Leeds for the family show Margery Dorrington born Arlesey, aged 4.  RG13/4196 folio 66 page 35.
