Charles MARTIN - possible death date
I’ve got a death certificate for a Charles MARTIN. But I’m not convinced he’s ours:
- July-Sep, 1915 (Q3)
- District: Lambeth, Sub-district: Kennington
- 1d 268
- Age at death: 66
- d 3 July 1915, Lambeth Infirmary, Brook St
- Profession given as Engineer’s Labourer (different from what he’d done before)
- Address: 47 Thornton St, Brixton Rd (quite a different area from the Lambeth/Waterloo/Vauxhall area he’d lived in previously)
- Cause of death: Burst appendix, peritonitis
- Informant: George Stebbing, Acting Superintendent, Lambeth Infirmary, Brook St. (I was hoping the informant would be a family member. Heigh ho!)
DOB would have been around 1849, which fits with some of the census records I have. This doesn’t give any real corroborating evidence and can’t be relied on.
Maybe I will look for his death in Catford - after all, his son, William, had moved there by November 1905.
