i've got william morton of neate street, bur.21 jan 1849 at st george camberwell. i want to get the death cert, to double check my theory he is mine. but i can't find a death that fits. the only mar qtr 1849 death is for west london, and there is one in lambeth sept qtr. but not one in camberwell? i was hoping there was a death cert. just my luck there isn't one! can anyone suggest a solution, or see a death?
According to the info on FreeBMD - the reg district of West London at that time seems to equate much more to areas that would be considered to be in the City of London today - http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/d...%20london.html
Maybe he died north of the Thames - but was taken "home" to be buried??
How about the death on Dec quarter 1848. Lambeth V4 P193 on Free BMD. He could have died late that year and buried 1849.

Like Sue I was thinking he could have died in West London maybe in a hospital. On my wanderings round the internet I found www.victorianlondon.org which has a very good section of all the hospitals, where they were and what date they were established
I'm more with Lesley, I was born in Brixton, Lambeth and Camberwell is in Southwark just down the road. Lambeth and Southwark border each other.
Have you found him on 1841 census?

I certainly agree with the geography - but even in winter - isn't at least 3 weeks a fair bit of time between death and registration - and burial??
so dec qtr 1848 may be correct? his brother if i have the right man, died at neate st in 1856, buried in same church, but death was registered in camberwell. the william morton i am after was ch.1817 in st giles, son of stephen and anne. he seems to be with them in bloomsbury in 1841. this is the 1st breakthrough i've had with william....
I looked up the death of Thomas Wren who is listed above William )Neate Street) and was buried on the same day. He was registered in March quarter in Camberwell. I had just wondered whether there was a delay in burials for some reason - weather etc. But that doesn't seem to be the case

Hi
Where did you find this burial record? Did it not give his age?
I agree with SueNSW,s post above surely if he died right at the end of 1848 then 3 weeks before burial does seem a bit much.

thanx for that linda, i had not thought to check for the others to see the reg district. so it looks like the death was never registered......was so hoping for an informant, to prove him for sure.
