Not long Deb. Anything from 4 to 7 days. 

The one for Mary will take longer to dispatch as I did not supply the reference details as suggested by MaryA. I am surprised that the cost is the same even though they will have quite a number of Mary Ward deaths to look through to find the one who lived in Richmond Buidings. I'm also surprised that there was nowhere that I could add the burial details that we have, which may have saved them a bit of time. 

I had a look at the GRO Matthew Ward deaths and there aren't too many of them over many years. I looked more carefully at the registration districts and I think that the Strand one you found looks the most likely. Lets just hope he was still in Richmond Buildings when he died otherwise we will have to go back to the drawing board.

Hello everyone. 

I failed miserably at trying to post the image here so I am posting the facts from the death certificate I received today:

Registration District: Strand
1851 death in the sub-district of St Anne Westminster
died 27th March 1851 at 9 Richmond Buildings 
Matthew Ward
male
age 66
occupation: Tailor
cause of death: Chronic Bronchitis
Informant Ann Gullan(?) present at death 9 Richmond Buildings Soho

 

 (thanks Deb  )

Who is Ann Gullan?  I can't see an Ann* Gul*an in 1851 in Middlesex.

(I was hoping to find her still at Richmond Buildings ... Matthew's 'fancy woman' perhaps? )

Ruskie, Ruskie, Ruskie ....you darling!!!!

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have him ... poor Matthew, Bronchitis can be awful especially without meds. 

Ann G* ... I wonder who she was? A day nurse? Or is there an Ann in the diary who married a Mr. Gullan.

I hate to be happy about a death ...but this is a 'good' find.

Is there any Gullan? person in Richmond buildings in 1851? Can you try to post the informant bit, Ruskie?

Hi Deb. I will see if I can post it. I did think it might be Ann Gultan, but the t is not crossed and not the same as other t's on the page.

There is an Ann in the diary. ANN FOX!!!! 

I'll have another fiddle with the image to see if I can manage to get it on here.

[Ruskie]

I just seem to be going round in circles and not getting anywhere with posting this image. I can't even find the instructions on how to post an image (which I have used successfully in the past). 
I will keep trying ....
