    There's this one
    Thomas Bryan Age at Death: 86 [abt 1813]
    1899 Jul-Aug-Sep Blaby County: Leicestershire
    Volume: 7a Page: 24

    Don't know where Blaby is but this is only Thos Bryan death in Leics with vaguely right age.

      I would have thought Blaby was a bit far out if he was still living with his daughter.

      This map shows where they were living in 1881 (I assume Carlton Cottages was more or less at the junction of Carlton street and Lower Brown Street):

      Lower Brown St, Leicester, UK - Google Maps

      I have found a possible, but it's a bit speculative.

      The Welford Road cemetery records show the burial of a Thomas Bryan aged 65 on 7 February 1889. His address is given as New Humberstone.

      The matching death on FreeBMD seems to be this one:

      Deaths Mar 1889
      BRYAN Thomas 65 Billesdon 7a 16

      I think there was a workhouse at Billesdon, so it could be that he ended his days in the workhouse hospital and they got his age wrong.

      Not sure if New Humberstone would come under Billesdon registration district, but Carlton Cottages certainly wouldn't.

              Just done a bit of back-tracking and don't think the Blaby death is the right one - deaths at Narborough would be registered at Blaby

                I've had a quick look on the County burial disc - there are several Bryans buried in Saddington, but no Thomas.

                I didn't find anything under Blaby or Billesdon.
