Title: Death look up please
Post by: Helina on Thursday 19 June 25 13:48 BST (UK)

Henry Williams born 1831 Olveston Gloucestershire. He married Eliza Dimmer in 1856. On the last record I can find of him is on the 1881 census when he and his wife, Eliza, were visiting their married daughter Emma Lusty and family. Afterwards nothing.
On family trees there is a death for Henry in 1915 but I can find no record on FreeBMD or the Gov site about that time.
I really would like to know when he died, I doubt if he moved out of Olveston.
Any help would be appreciated.

On 1901 census his wife was living with her daughter Emma Lusty and family in Uley.   Eliza is listed as widow so it looks like Henry died pre 1901

When and where did Henry’s wife die?

Have you found Eliza Williams on the 1891 census? She’s not with her married daughter Emma Lusty and family  :-\

I wondered about this entry but he can be ruled out

Henry Williams Age   57
Estimated Birth Year   abt 1829
Registration Quarter   Sep 1886 Gloucester Volume   6a Page   173
PROBATE - occupation blacksmith, wife was Eliza Tucker Williams

Could either of these entries be a possibility?

Henry Williams Age   62
Estimated Birth Year   abt 1836
Registration Quarter   Dec 1898 Gloucester Volume   6a Page   159

Henry Williams Age   58
Estimated Birth Year   abt 1829
Registration Quarter   Sep 1887 Gloucester  Volume   6a Page   166

Thank you for looking Ladyhawk, as yet I have been unable to find either Henry or Emma on the 1891census, Henry had been a farmer but by 1881 he was described as out of business.
There are a lot of deaths for Henry and Eliza, will have to obtain a certificate and hope for the best.
Just out of interest the Lusty family move to Australia after 1901

If Henry died at home, his death would have been registered in Thornbury Registration District.

Which would probably mean:

Deaths, December qtr 1896
Thornbury Registration District     vol 6a, page 134

Williams, Henry  age 87
