Would someone be able to find the burial details please for Hezekiah Wager,he was born in Maldon Essex but would have probably died in Durham or Newcastle area as all his children were born in that area.His wifes name was Margaret Pittenbreigh or Pittendreigh,she was born in Scotland.I can find Hezikiah on the 1871 1881 1891 and 1901 census but i cant find him on the 1851 or 1861 census.He was born about 1845 at Maldon Essex.Thankyou for any help.Anne.

You need to establish what year he died by looking for his death on the GRO index.  You know he was alive at the time of the 1901 census so need to look from the June quarter of 1901 onwards

You can now search the full GRO index yourself free of charge at
http://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/rectype/vital/freebmd/bmd.aspx  Choose “Complete BMD Index Ranges & Images 1837-1983

If you only have a dial up internet connection and you live in the UK, you may find it easier to view the same index at your nearest main library as the images take a while to download.  If you have broadband, they only take a few seconds

The partially transcribed index (freebmd) can also be searched on the same website or at http://freebmd.rootsweb.com

Copy certificates can be obtained online at www.gro.gov.uk

Are you sure about his wife's name?  The 1891 has his wife as Ruth b Essex and freebmd shows he married Ruth Playle in 1867
March quarter in Hartlepool

Hi Anne,

I am the great great grandson of Hezekiah via his son Thomas and have written a brief history of his life in which you may be interested. My grandmother was Violet Wager daughter of Thomas.
