In the 1841 census, John Everett (a retired miller) was living at Middle Rasen in Lincolnshire. I think he must have spent his last days in the Hull area where 3 of his married daughters were living.
The daughters were:
Mary, married to John Daniels, millwright
Bessey, married to Robert Daniels, millwright
Louisa, married to Stephen Newborn, manager of starch factory
I would appreciate any help to find out when and where he died in Hull.

Hi
For tracing purposes - 1841 shows his birthyear as 1781?
-
If you check freebmd for deaths 1841-1851 - there are none in Caistor which was the registration district where he was living in 1841 but there are 3 in other parts of Lincs - 2 x Everatt and 1 x Everett.
Unfortunately - ages do not appear on the death indexes until the mid-1860's so it can be difficult to determine the right entry
The John Everett death in 1849 Sculcoates was an infant death and there are 2 x John Everatt deaths in Thorne - Yorks

Thank you Carole. I will tell you what a I know about John Everett, his wife Mary, and their family. The four children -all daughters - were born in Market Rasen (where their father was a miller) between 1810 and 1820. John moved to Middle Rasen between the birth of the last daughter about 1820 and the 1841 census.
All four daughters were married and living in Hull in the 1851 census. That census shows their mother Mary, now widowed, was living (or staying) with Louisa and her husband Stephen Newborn who was the manager of a starch works. Their home was 3 Starch House Lane, Sutton, Hull. Mary's age is 71 and she was born at Donnington. There are two Don(n)ingtons in Lincolnshire - D.on Bain and D. in Holland.
I thought it reasonable to assume that John too had finished his days in Hull but I cannot prove it. I have been unable to find a John Everett marriage in Lincolnshire and I do not know Mary's surname.
I would welcome your comments.

Re: the 1851 entry. Is Mary shown as a widow? It's not a clear W and if you flip backwards and forwards through the pages - the enumerator uses wid or widr
Her occupation is shown as "former millers wife" - not widow

Hello Carole W,
Having read your message, I had another look at Mary in the 1851 census and I agree - it doesn't look like a 'W'. Sorry about the delay in replying but I forget easily.
