The Common Room / Re: Cause of death - 'Visitation of God' ?
« on: Today at 11:05 »
Just found my first ever "Visitation of God" recorded by the coroner of Burslem, Staffordshire in October 1848

- John Copestick aged 52, a brickmaker of Tunstall, Staffordshire - a time given as "12 at noon"

- his widow remarried in May 1849!

thanks for that, I never would have worked that out!

Mary Flynn was the bride, guessing she was a domestic servant to the Davies family

best wishes

UPDATE:

their marriage took place on 30 Nov 1912, at St Mary & St John RC Church, Newton in Makerfield, Lancashire

in the 1921 census living at 15 High St, Golborne, Lancashire with a son Edward

in the 1939 register living at 18 Kings Road, Golborne, Lancashire (speculate a daughter hidden from viewing) - their son Edward, a police constable, living in Huyton With Roby, Lancashire

not sure how Mary is related

best wishes  :)
