Slightly off-topic, but here is a news item in case you haven't seen it.

Many thanks to all who have posted. Sarah's brother John was buried in Kings Cross too, but their Parents where buried in Rastrick, so it hasnt been just one place, but different churchyards/cemeteries.  I will applying for their death certs in due course.

That was very interest information on Edwin's job, which I only knew from the 1851 census return.

Many thanks again.

Just checking - do you know you can buy a digital copy of each death cert for £3?
