Death Information Needed Please

[English Daisy]

RE:  ROBERT GRIFFITHS
Age 50, died in 1864 and registered in Birkenhead, Wirral.

Is there anyone, with access to death records, who could please look for
the above Robert Griffiths and tell me what other information was recorded?

I have been unable to find my Robert Griffiths and do not have enough
information to order a certificate.


Thank you,

English Daisy

Hi

Presume you got the info from CheshireBMD

Members of the public do not have access to death records apart from the references on the GRO index

You would need to buy a copy of the cert to get the info

Thank you and Merry Christmas.

Maybe one day I will have more information on Robert Griffiths
before ordering DC.  There are just too many Robert Griffiths
at this time to select from, unfortunately.

Hi

Merry Christmas to you to

I wonder if it's possible to narrow the number down a bit - perhaps by registration district

Do you have him on the 1861 census?  What registration district was he living in at that time

Hello Carole

Robert Griffiths daughter Hannah married in Dec. 1864 in Liverpool.
Robert was deceased on his daughter's marriage certificate and was a labourer.

After the wedding Hannah lived with her husband, Samuel Hayes, in Seacombe, Birkenhead area of Cheshire until they died post 1900. The Hayes family baptized their children in St. Paul and St. Hiliary parishes.

When I saw the death of a Robert Griffiths, age 50, in 1864, Birkenhead on Cheshire BMD yesterday, I just had a hunch that maybe I should check this record out.

Up to now, I have connected Robert with Denbighshire where Hannah was born.  Despite my research, plus the help of several Roots Chat members, I have  never been able to find Hannah or Robert on the 1861 or pre 1861 censuses. 

Since Hannah moved from Wales to Cheshire, I thought just maybe her father, Robert, may have followed her to Cheshire.

Thank you Carole for your interest. I do appreciate it.

With Christmas Eve tomorrow, I am going to postpone my Robert Griffiths research and enjoy being with my family and grandchildren!

Again Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you Carole and all RootsChatters!

Hi English Daisy

One of the reasons that you might not be able to find Robert or Hannah is that it looks like quite a few areas in Flintshire and Denbighshire are missing from the 1861 census. If you go to the link below and scroll down to the Known Issues with the 1861 census you will see a list of locations.

While Seacombe was in the Registration District of Birkenhead it was never in the town of Birkenhead. It was part of Poulton-cum-Seacombe which eventually became part of Wallasey.
