One cert I received showed that the person died on Christmas Day in Chelsea Workhouse 1858. Another, for my gg grandad gave the cause of death as 'found in the road, a cartwheel having passed over him' Julie |

Wow some interesting stories! I'll be sure to let you know if there's anything interesting on them when they arrive! I'm hoping there may be a reason for why even though they were married, on all the censuses they are apart.... may be they just separated and didn't want to get divorced (or couldn't afford to) - will have to wait and see! |

They can be very upsetting. My great uncle died in hospital this spring, and there were 4 causes of death. 2 were things he only got whilst in hospital - malnutrition and pneumonia. Makes you so angry. Maybe it can't be helped and maybe he would have got those 2 anyway, but to get them IN hospital just makes me so upset.... Laura |

Well, they arrived! Frederick Pudner died of a cerebral haemorrhage (7 days???) on 23rd July 1921 at 62 East Street, Wolborough in the district of Newton Abbot. His occupation was naval pensioner and 'of post office, manaton rd'. The informant was 'W J Jones, occupier, 62 East St'. So, don't know if that's a family member, or a neighbour, or what! Grace died in Plymouth on 2nd April 1920, still down as wife of Frederick George Pudner - naval pensioner (so they were still classed as married even though they lived separately for many years it seemed). She died of bronchitis and the informant was her son Henry/Harry who was present at the death. Interesting!!! Laura x |
