Thank you everyone for your helpful replies.  It's amazing to discover so much just by asking.  I have downloaded Jabez' death certificate from the GRO.  Unfortunately the image has been badly cropped and omits significant details (I assume).  Has anyone experienced such a problem before?
Am I permitted to post the image on here so that you can see what I mean?
Thanks again

Hi Melton,

Yes you can share the image as long as it doesn't contain information about living people.

I don't have access to BNA, are those newspaper snippets confirming that he is 'your' Jabez?

The newspaper snippet about the suicide 1873 (James Brittain) mentions his having had a pub in Wolverhampton. The newspaper snippets relate to a possible pub, the Star and Garter, Victoria Street.

Need as much info as possible to link "Jabez, the Old Ship, St Mary Gate" to "James, former publican, Wolverhampton, died Tong"..

I assume the death registration downloaded from GRO is the 1873 James, Shifnal although poster states "I have downloaded Jabez's death cert"

Yet to positively link Jabez Brittain with death of James Brittain.

Thanks hanes teulu. Would the inquest regarding his death be archived somewhere?
