Searching for an age at time of death Worster Family

[drewsankie]

I would like to try and find the age of Richard Worster who died March 1842 in Long Buckby.

also he mentions his wife in his will which is Jane Worster, but i cannot find a marriage to a Jane !

Regards Ian

Have you looked at the parish register to see if it gives an age on the burial record?   If it doesn't then your only hope is the death certificate.   Have you looked for them in 1841?  What children did they have?   That might help to pin them down.  If you can find them in later census records their places of birth might give an idea of where the couple married.

Death Reference Number

Richard Worster
Quarter Jan-Feb-Mar 1842

District of Daventry

Volume 15
Page 195

would be worth getting the Cert... at least it would give you a ball park to work from if you didn't totally trust what age was on the Cert

Best wishes

Lots to work on with that will.   Have you worked out which side of the family the nieces and nephews are on?
Step daughter?   Does that mean his wife was married before?
Trace all of those in 1851 and find a few ages and places of birth and that will help a great deal.  The 1841 that Bev found looks very promising.

P.S.

Ian checked the original census image and although faint it does say Worster.

You may be able to fit in Thomas Bland now?

Not sure where Alice was Baptised?

Richard does not seem to be buried in the P.C. records for Buckby though.
