Title: Benjamin CRABB 1815
Post by: Crabbyone on Thursday 25 February 10 15:32 GMT (UK)
Hello everyone,

Can anyone help me find the death record for Benjamin Crabb b.1815 in Callington.

My most likely hit is one JFM 1850, Westminster.

His wife was Catherine (nee Smith) who died in Bodmin Workhouse in 1854.

TIA

C-o

Thanks Kris

I did see those links. No reply from "doctorbob".

Looks like I'll have to buy that DC and see what is has to say. But I do wonder why a Cornishman would be in London?

C-o

Yes C-o it is peculiar. Still nothing concerning this chap has been easy. Problem is being so far from home the death certificate may not be terribly helpful. All the best with it.

Cheers Kris  :)

Have worked with doctor bob on this one and the benjamin crabb who died westminster district is likely to be the son of Benjamin crabb (born Callington) brother who was living in westminster.
