One set of my 3xggrandparents were Thomas and Mary Fairbrother in Chester. I found them in 1841 living in Thomas Buildings with their children. In 1851 I found Thomas in the same place and listed as a widower.
There were four possible death records for Mary and I managed to obtain the correct certificate by asking ONS to search them all and send me the one where Mary was listed as the wife of Thomas Fairbrother - sorted!!!
NOW...Thomas died before the 1861 census and there are three possible deaths for him! How can I separate the right one? I know his approximate age. Does anyone think that would be sufficient to sort him? I could make a stab at his address I suppose....
