I'm looking for any details of burial or death of Alexander McKay. I think he died before 1881 because I haven't been able to find him in the 1881 census.
In 1871 I think he was in the workhouse at Camden Town
Thank you in advance, I hope

Hi Maxie
Have you checked the deaths on freebmd for Alexander McKay & Mackay to see if there are any possibles not just between 1871 and 1881?
Do you have him on an earlier census to confirm his year of birth?
Did he marry? if so who and have you found her on a later census?

according to the 1871 he was born 1837 in scotland his occ is down as smith marital status married
his wife emma and son frederick are living in st.pancras in 1871
if anyone wants to look at the censuses
emma and frederick transcribed as mcnay
RG10/210/58/28
alexander
RG10/233/82/2

think this is the son frederick in 1881
RG11/297/11/16
jane.e.mckay age 44. b. southampton. occ. mantle maker(wid)
fred.j.mckay age 14. b. st.pancras. occ. errand boy. son
living at;8,brett road,hackney
so if the alexander in 1871 is him and this is as i beleive his wife and son
then he did die between 1871-1881
-
still cannot find the death
there is a death of an alexander macoy and an alexander mackie both of the right age and both died in middx between 1871-1881 but not in reg dist of pancras or hackney where his wife is in 1881

Thanks wozzle,
All the facts you've come up with are the same as the ones I've found. I've wondered in the past if Alexander died in the workhouse, but I don't know how I'd find that out.
I've never found a marriage for him either, though I think 'Emma' was Emma Bath.

someone else also thinks her maiden name was emma bath
on the 1871 on ancestry someone has corrected the surname from mcnay to mckay
and also says wife was emma bath they to cannot find the marriage
is that someone you maxie

I'm getting a bit lost with the replies. But yes I corrected the name from Mcnay to Mckay, and made a comment about the marriage and name of Bath.

going off track here a bit but the birth cert of frederick john mckay would tell you for sure his mothers maiden name
-
o.k. just read your p.m. you already have the cert for frederick
i have been looking for quite a while now for a jane emma bath or emma jane bath born about 1837 in hampshire
and alexander death no luck though
thought that might have been her married name and that alexander was her second marriage
but cannot find one anywhere that would add up
sorry

OK thanks anyway.
I did find a Jane Bath in Vernahms Dean born in 1834. I thought that may be her because of the birth place mentioned later. If so she was in the Union Workhouse Andover in 1841.
There were 4 Bath children in all.
Charlotte Bath 10 Hampshire Pauper
Hannah Bath 9 Hampshire Pauper
Jane Bath 7 Hampshire Pauper
George Bath 3 Hampshire Pauper

It could be I suppose. I'll have to try to follow the name back again. I'll be back!
Thank you for looking
Maxie :)
