Death of Charles Tempest

[Bunnygirl]

Hi
I'm trying to find the death of Charles Tempest   this is what I know about him so far;
Born 2 Feb 1815 in Shoreditch
Baptized 16 June 1822 St Gregory by St Pauls City of London
Marriage 12 Feb 1843 St John's Bethnal Green to Susannah Gardner Charles occupation a packing case maker
1851 Census Wellington St Shoreditch
1871 census  Shap Street St Leonards Shoreditch Lodger with the Woodhouse family a packing case maker
1881 census Shap Street living alone no Susannah & he says he's single. Susannah seems to have split up with him she dies in 1899 & no mention of him on her death certificate.

I can't find Charles on 1891 census so probably he could have died between 1881 & 91

Any help much appreciated

Possibly not.

Doesn't seem to be your man.

Could somebody have got his name wrong?
Dec 1881 Shoreditch 1c 115
Tempest, Thomas   
Age 67   

Hard to see that chap in 1881. Did he die in the workhouse?

[wilcoxon]

He died of senile decay in  St Leonard's Infirmary Shoreditch. Admitted from
St Leonards Union.
No more details about him.
Definitely something to think about,  but I guess the death certificate wont help much.

So many people dying there about the same time,  it's terrible to think about.

Many thanks for all the replies.
I think his death is the 1882 one  I will send for the death certificate and see if that gives any more clues.

Many thanks again

His death is recorded in the "Deaths in the Infirmary" St Leonard's, Shoreditch.

I would have looked at digital record but sods law it's only available as a pdf. I would say it's the correct Tempest with incorrect christian name

It's got a nice ring to it, Thomas Tempest! I agree it could just be a mistake by the Shoreditch officials.
There are some more records of the infirmary hidden away on ancestry, the answer may be in those perhaps
