Sorry but it was a struggle to get the system to accept the image!

Sorry for the belated reply, but other things have intervened. Ancestry has the parish registers for Hampshire and I have searched these. Whilst they have revealed many things, the above two burials remain elusive. I must admit that these searches have been hindered by the various and diverse spellings of the surnames.

As far as I am aware, John MANCEY married Sarah BENHAM on 18 Dec 1798 in Old Basing. The couple are, I believe, the parents of both James and William.

The informant on William's death certificate is difficult to read. My best attempt would be Lydia PICCOP, but that could well be wrong. I have tried to include an attachment for others to read, but the system appears to be blocking this action.

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / What happened to William and James MANCEY
« on: Thursday 01 May 25 14:14 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to track down the final resting places of two brothers, the sons of John and Sarah MANCEY.

William was baptised 0n 12 Dec 1802 at St Mary in Old Basing. He appears never to have married. I have a death certificate for him which contains no useful information other than he died on 05 Dec 1865 at Tottendown, Basingstoke. I cannot find a burial for him either in Basingstoke or back in Old Basin.

James was baptised on 04 May 1814 at St Mary in Old Basing. I can find no further records for him. I assume he died young, but cannot find an appropriate burial.

As always any help greatly appreciated.

London and Middlesex / Re: Burials of two brothers and two sisters

Burials for Kensington & Chelsea are included on Deceased Online and I did check to no avail. So I am still not able to locate the final resting places of these four.

Any new ideas?

All very interesting, but I just have a nagging feeling - not that I can find any proof - that he either died in infancy or followed his brother into the military. His elder brother John apparently served with the military attached to the East India Company.

Interesting. I don't suppose that the marriage register names the witnesses, just in case they were relatives.

The father of my William, also William DANIELS, was very much alive in 1839. He died on Christmas Day, 1876.

Many thanks for these. I found these records the last time I looked a few years ago, but was unable to find what happened after.

I have experienced considerable difficulties in tracing ex-convicts once their sentences have expired. In fact, I a zero percentage success rate!
