I'll make separate posts for each of them.
I am still missing the death of John Bidgood Mitchell, born St Luke's, 1803, probably died between 1881 & 1887. He was in the 1871 census in Stoke Kensington/Finsbury with his wife, Anne. She's in the 1881 with her son, Samuel, in MEOT. She died in 1887, a widow.
Initially it was assume that John had died in 1875 - I bought that cert: it's not him. Then I realized that Anne was not a widow in 1881.
So I suspect John was in a workhouse in 1881, and died there, but can't spot a likely registration. Lorraine, can you work any magic?
This was the original thread:
Thank you!
