William Ratcliffe, Hampton Wick area - Help with burial info please
« on: Friday 07 January 11 04:44 GMT (UK) »
William Ratcliffe born approx 1772 (possibly of Dorking 1.5.1774). He married Mary Marshall at Hampton on 17.1.1797 (both of that Parish).  Mary was buried on 24.2.1811 at Hampton. 

William and Mary's children were baptised at Kingston On Thames.  William was nominated as a constable on 15 April 1805 + elected as Headborough of Hampton Wick in 1807 and finally in 1812. 

William's death doesn't appear in the Teddington or Hampton registers between 1811 and 1837.    He doesn't appear in the 1841 or 1851 census for Hampton Wick or Kingston On Thames.    He doesn't appear in the Free BMD records (commencing 1837).  A requested death certificate for a William Ratcliffe of 1852 was not issued as the person was not aged 80 years.

I am hoping that someone may be able to advise me about how I can locate the death/burial of William Ratcliffe, probably between 1812 and 1837 in the area of Hampton Wick?

Thank you very much for your quick reply.  The Richmond Local Studies Library had advised hat no burial for William Ratcliffe appears in the Hampton Register.  However, now that I have the burial date of 11/1/1834, I will certainly check that again.  I am hoping that the register will point to a birthplace, or give some other clue.

Unfortunately the IGI baptisms do not show a William Ratcliffe of 1772. The nearest baptism is 1774, at Dorking. 

I have been stuck trying to resolve this problem for some years and your information is a breakthrough which is certainly appreciated.

The only additional info. there is ; entry no. 1444 and he was of Hampton Wick. At the top of the register it says Middlesex rather than Surrey, and the Curate's name was Sidebotham.
