i've got william morton of neate street, bur.21 jan 1849 at st george camberwell. i want to get the death cert, to double check my theory he is mine. but i can't find a death that fits. the only mar qtr 1849 death is for west london, and there is one in lambeth sept qtr. but not one in camberwell? i was hoping there was a death cert. just my luck there isn't one! can anyone suggest a solution, or see a death?

According to the info on FreeBMD - the reg district of West London at that time seems to equate much more to areas that would be considered to be in the City of London today - http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/d...%20london.html
Maybe he died north of the Thames - but was taken "home" to be buried??

Like Sue I was thinking he could have died in West London maybe in a hospital. On my wanderings round the internet I found www.victorianlondon.org which has a very good section of all the hospitals, where they were and what date they were established

I'm more with Lesley, I was born in Brixton, Lambeth and Camberwell is in Southwark just down the road. Lambeth and Southwark border each other.
Have you found him on 1841 census?

so dec qtr 1848 may be correct? his brother if i have the right man, died at neate st in 1856, buried in same church, but death was registered in camberwell. the william morton i am after was ch.1817 in st giles, son of stephen and anne. he seems to be with them in bloomsbury in 1841. this is the 1st breakthrough i've had with william....

I looked up the death of Thomas Wren who is listed above William )Neate Street) and was buried on the same day. He was registered in March quarter in Camberwell. I had just wondered whether there was a delay in burials for some reason - weather etc. But that doesn't seem to be the case

I see that it looks as if Stephen and Ann both died in Bloomsbury in the same quarter. June 1844
On Ancestry it says their address was Monmouth Street and Stephen was buried 11 June and Ann was buried 16th June. Poor William burying both parents within a week of each other.
Don't know if anything could be gained by seeing their death certificates ??

i have stephen and anne's deaths. anne died on the 6th jun 1844 and was bur. on the 11th. stephen died on the 11th jun 1844, and was bur. on the 16th. their daughter caroline registered their deaths, and i can't find her in 1841, or after 1844. so i was hoping if i had william's death, a sibling may have registered it.

Oh I see, I'll keep looking
Just out of interest, what they die of?

That's sad. It's a mystery about Caroline, looked at marriages and can't really see anything really suitable and without certificates you couldn't be certain anyway and at £10 a time you need to be fairly confident.
There are a couple not in the right area but I suppose she could have moved anywhere!
