Hi Neobright,
This is a long shot, but did you see this one. The Middlesbrough registration district was created in 1875 out of the Easington, Guisborough, Stockton and Stokesley districts.
Death, Jun qtr 1882 
John Solomon, age 50    
Middlesbrough, Vol 9d, page 340
I've looked and I can't find a John Solomon living in the area on the returns.
Kind regards,
Pels.
