Title: Death Look Up please
Post by: pagan1973 on Saturday 23 February 08 15:39 GMT (UK)
Hi

I have been trying to find details of a death, My 3 x Great Grandfather Robert Barnes was born abt. 1819 in Thornton Leicestershire, he moved up to Old monkland Western District Lanarkshire between 1861 and 1871, then i cant find him in Scotland, his wife Sarah Barnes and her youngest son are on a census for 1881 in Tingle Bridge, Wombwell,England and it states Sarah has a Widow. There is no record in Scotland of a Robert Barnes death between 1871 and 1881, so i presume he moved back to england with his wife and son and then died. Would it be possible for someone to do a look up for me and see if he died in England, TingleBridge, Wombwell.

Many Thanks

Sarah

There is a death for Robert Barnes

Jun qtr 1875 age 57 Barnsley 9c 133

Free BMD only has the age as -7 but I have checked on ancestry and it is clearly 57.

Hope this helps

Hi Sarah,

You can order certificates from this site

www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content

They cost £7

Wombwell is in the Barnsley registration district so it does look a likely match.
