age at time of death wanted

[deandewis]

can any one help me ? i am looking for the death of William dewis born bulkington about 1773,in the 1861 census he is 88 and living with his son john in bulkington.
Free BMD has this:
two deaths of William dewis

June 1861, Nuneaton, 6d 209
June 1862 Foleshill , 6d 208

can anyone tell me how old he was when he died in both cases to prove if it possible could be him?

The only way you will find age at death is by buying the cert or finding a burial record which gives the age.

Age at death was only added to the death indexes in 1866. I believe the new digitised index will have age at death included in it, but this won't be available for a few years.

I suppose you could try to find both William Dewises on the 1861 census and see which was in Nuneaton and which in Foleshill registration districts.

Your chap in 1861 is in Nuneaton reg district, so I guess that's him.


Name: William Dewis 88 Lodger
Where born: Bulkington, Warwickshire Civil Parish: Bulkington
County/Island: Warwickshire
Registration district: Nuneaton
Sub registration district: Nuneaton

There are two other William Dewises in Bulkington in 1861, one born 1845 and one 1813. I guess to be sure its not them, you'd need to check they are around in 1871 census, though looking at your chap's age, I think its very probably him whose death is registered.

Your best bet is probably to get the Bulkington parish registers on loan from your local LDS centre.

I have one Bulkington microfilm at the moment, but it doesn't cover the period you want. It contains:

Baptisms, burials, 1775-1812 (another filming); Marriage affidavits, 1822 (another filming); Baptisms, 1813-1843 (another filming); Baptisms, 1843-1861 (another filming); Banns, 1754-1764; Marriages, 1754-1790; Banns, 1790-1823; Marriages, 1790-1876.

I shall be going down to the centre on Tuesday, so if you have anyone else in Bulkington you want me to look up, let me know.

I've just noticed that you're in Nuneaton, so it may be more convenient for you to go to the local Records Office.

Not sure which one covers Nuneaton - Warwick?
