Walter Jennings Farey/Fairey/Fairy died 1856 Radley
« on: Sunday 24 March 24 04:14 GMT (UK) »
Hi All,

I have a Walter Jennings Farey baptised 31 Dec 1837 at St John's Hackney London to James (a coachman) and Mary Farey of Dalston.  I then have him with his parents and numerous siblings in the 1841 Census in Charles Street West Hackney, and the 1851 Census at Elizabeth Place West Hackney.  I haven't been able to locate him after this last for some time now.

Today I put his details into findmypast and came up with a death in 1856 at Radley Berkshire of Walter Jennings Fairy born 1838.  Now this is pretty encouraging although I have no idea why he would be in Radley.

I checked this on freeBMD and got Walter Fairey died 9/1856 Abingdon (which includes Radley) Vol 2c p163.  I then went to the GRO site to order an image and their search doesn't locate this death at all.

What I would like, if any-one can help, is any further details on the burial entry; find the GRO entry so I can order an image; or think of any reason why a poor 18yo lad from Dalston/Hackney would be so far from home in Radley Berkshire.

Cheers, Colin

Others with  that same page & volume are not on the GRO either (that I can see) so you might have to report missing entries.

The transcription of his burial lists Walter as a servant at St Peter's College, Radley - a public school

Hi Colin,

The burial transcripts for Radley (Berks) (ex Oxon FHS) list him as;
5-7-1856 Walter Jennings Fairy, Servant at St.Peter''s College, Radley aged 18

Hope this helps.

Apologies for the delay in responding, Sunday afternoon nap time turned into weekly family dinner and I lost track of time.

Thank you Alan & Kay for the burial transcriptions, I think it adds greatly to be being the correct person.

I will now look at the GRO on how to get the missing reference located.

One more thought I had, I wonder if there are newspaper reports of some kind of accident.

There are a number of rather long reports of the accident in the newspaper and there was an inquest

A short version is hopefully attached from the Nonconformist 23 July 1856

Good, but sad, thought.
