Hi folks
I'm looking for the death of a William Frederick Levesley.
1871 Gainsborough. Lincolnshire.
Many thanks
Tomm
-
Is 1871 when he died or when he was born?
Have you checked freebmd?
What is the last census you have him on?
-
Do you mean that you know he died in 1871 in Gainsborough? Or is that when he was born?
-
No birth or death 1871 - you need to clarify
This is on freebmd
Deaths Mar 1947
Levesley William F 71 Grantham 3b 126
-
FreeBMD is not showing anything in 1871, as pointed out by CaroleW. There is a birth in 1867, and a possible corresponding death in 1868 in Spalding Registration District.

Re the 1947 death - here's an obituary https://www.findmypast.co.uk/image-share/7a632c04-e81f-4ce6-823e-760610914d99

Tomm has sent me a pm - he is helping a friend.
WFL was b 1787 - doesn't know where. died 1871 Lincolnshire - that's all he has
There is no 1851 or 1861 entry matching that birthyear
Tomm - please ask your friend for some details re who WFL married. Has he looked for him on a census to establish his birthplace?
Where has he got the info from that he died Lincs 1871?
-
Possible marriage at Spalding, St Mary & St Nicholas
William Frederick Levesley
Ann Presgrave
Marriage date 29 Jul 1830
-
Possible births might help with census?

Tomm - may be worth checking the birthyear with your friend as the 1851 entry is 20yrs difference in age to a 1787 birthyear.
