The Diary of Nathaniel Bryceson Revisited Again

[deb usa]

Good Job Ruskie!

Silly question: Did you have to register a death before a person was buried in those times?

So it seems that the "building' attached to the left of the Chapel housed the shops,

Yes, it looks like one side (top or north side) of the Passage was the wall of the Chapel, so presumably there were only shops on the other (bottom or south) side. I wonder if the shopkeepers lived on the premises? Looking at your census find it seems that they did.

How close to Stephen Street is Percy Passage?

That's a great map, Ruskie. Look how close Dean Street was!
red post ...

Ahh yes ...Stephen Street ...very close!

Gee Deb, I'm wondering if that was the first certificate I ordered ... stupidly I can't find my emails or the reference numbers.  The one from the GRO must be there somewhere.

I know there weren't many Mary Ward deaths, and in the previous 'revisited' thread you did some good logical thinking about which was most likely to be our Mary.

I even reread the previous thread but either I didn't say which cert I'd ordered or missed it somewhere.

I will check again tomorrow.

I think registration of deaths was compulsory but I believe it was possible for them to slip through the cracks sometimes. Unsure if the burial was able to take place if unregistered though ...

His son, Nathaniel and family, lived at 47 Charlotte Street in 1891 ...wonder how far that is from PP (Percy Passage)?

Percy Chapel fronts onto Charlotte Street - so just at the other end of Percy Passage. 
(unless it was a different Charlotte St - enumeration district will need to be checked)

(signing off now Deb. I expect you to have at least found Ann Fox in 1861 by the time I return  )
