I've received a death certificate today for a Samuel Clarke, who may or may not have been my 2xgrGrandfather, as it's a fairly common name.
These are the certs details -
Death registered in Wolverhampton District, sub-district Kinver.
Samuel Clark], died 29th Jan 1919, aged 76 years at Lower Whittymere Farm, Halfpenny Green, Bobbington (nr Stourbridge). Occupation is Ironworker and cause of death is given as Heart Failure, Natural Causes.
The info was provided by Allan Stokes, coroner for South West Staffs, Inquest held 1st Feb 1919.
This is the info I have on my Samuel Clark/e:
Born 8th Oct 1843 – Quarry Bank, nr Stourbridge. (would have been 75 in Jan 1919)
1861 census - ? keeper (living with parents, Hadzor)
Marriage cert March 1869 – Rail Time Keeper (living in Amblecote)
Dau’s birth cert Jul 1869 – Lock Keeper (living Stoke Prior)
1871 Census – Lock-Keeper
Son’s birth cert Oct 1877 – Fitter in foundry (living in Walsall)
Dau’s death cert Jul 1880 – General labourer (m-i-l- registered death)
Wife’s death cert Jul 1880 - ditto
1881 census – missing
1891 census – Driller in ironworks, Tipton (in lodgings)
1901 census – Iron plate driller – Tipton (lodging with same people)
Son’s marriage cert May 1901 - Fitter.
Do you think it is likely that this is the death certificate for the right man?
Thanks for looking.
