Title: What to search for details of deaths in 1850 to1870
Post by: TrevorW on Thursday 29 September 22 11:45 BST (UK)
I am at a loss on how to find out details of the death and burials of my 3rd Great Grand Parents William Gregory 1778 - 1860 app and Betty Handcock 1787 - app 1857. They were both baptised in Matlock. They were married at Chesterfield in 1804. In the 1841 and 1851 censuses they were in Manchester where Betty was recorded as Elizabeth. I could not find entries in the 1861 census where they would be 83 and 74 respectively. I have searched for civil registrations but nothing gels as probable matches. I am not looking for someone to search these records out for me but I would like ideas / suggestions on what sites to search on. regards Trevor Walmsley, Christchurch, New Zealand. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/tree/108156751/family?cfpid=410063158427

This is the site for civil registrations of births, marriages and deaths in England and Wales:

https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

If you think they remained in Lancashire:

https://www.lan-opc.org.uk/


Details of deaths; cause, where they died etc. will be found on death certificates

Hello
I can see possibly 2 William Gregory deaths registered in Manchester 1851-1861

William Gregory age 64 June 1856 8D 89  Which has a Will at Lancashire Archies for a widower coachman .
William Gregory age 72 died March 1859 Manchester 8D 248

Elizabeth Gregory Chorlton  Mar 1853  age 63 8C 391
Elizabeth Gregory Dec 1854 age 64 8C 319
Elizabeth Gregory 69 Sep 1861 Chorlton 8C 363

Going through registration for Manchester ,Chorlton and Salford.

So which is nearest to Elizabeth St ,St Barnabus from the 1851 census and ages  74 and 69 ?
None of them are shouting out to me.
You could try looking at Manchester Councils locate a grave site

Ancestor Search pages https://www.lan-opc.org.uk/Search/indexp.html
 You can either search whole county or select a place from the alphabetical list. I usually put a number of miles into the distance box.
