An Update,

Visited the Norfolk Records Office on Wednesday on my way home from holiday. Had a quick look at the Baptism Records for Norwich in 1847, Joseph Deaths Baptism was on 20th June as previously thought but, looking at it closely the mothers name has been mistranscribed as "France" when it should be "Diana", so that clears up that anomoly from the original post at the top.

Had a brief look for marriages for Charles Death and Diana Smith 1829 - 1833 but there's too many churches in Ipswich and I only had half an hour.

My mother knew a Gerry Death in Manitoba. The family pronounced their name "Deeth".

Hi from Canada,

A very unusual name but as 'chinakay' said it is usually pronounced 'Deeth' & I can understand why. I know of a fellow who graduated from the University of Toronto Medical School some time ago. Can you imagine being known as "Doctor Death"? He would probably have very few patients. Reminds me of the Nazi Mengele.

The Edwardstone, Suffolk Deaths are linked to my Yeowells.  There's a few others also researching this branch, including someone here on RootsChat.  Peter DeAth (another researcher) is also related to them.

I am fairly sure you maybe distantly related to this Suffolk family too.

Alas, I cannot help you any further.

We have Diana and children 1851 Census and think this is possibly Charles/Diana 1841 :)

1841 Census                      HO107/1036/16/Rattlesden

Rattlesden, Suffolk

Elizabeth DEATH, 55, widow
Diana, 30
Charles, 25, butcher
Robert, 20, butcher         al born in county

Trish

EDIT this appears to be wrong as there is a baptism for this Diana  ( submitted) to parents Francis/Frank  DEATH and Elizabeth GOOCH.

THESE STILL COULD BE CHARLES parents.

Too late for me/off to bed,

cheers,
trish

Hi guys

This lot are ancestors of my wife's family. The father Francis Death was a butcher, as we're two of his sons Charles & Robert, their sister Diana was an in keeper I'm told. Their brother Gerorge Gooch Death is my wifes GGGG grandfather. Their mother was Elizabeth Gooch. A lot of them emigrated to New Zealand.

Regards
Andy
