Informant was Elizabeth; Ridley Villas, Newcastle; present at death; signed name. The death was registered 4 Feb 1871.
I thought this was Elizabeth Wilson, wife of George Carr below, but it appears to be a different person.
Death certificate for George Carr, Chester le Street, 1866:
Death in the Registration District of Chester le Street, Sub-district of Chester le Street, Durham, 1866, no. 261. Died 13 Jan 1866 at Waldridge; George Carr; Male; age 76; Farmer; cause of death was Apoplexy. Certified. Informant was John Carr; Waldridge; present at death; signed name. The death was registered 15 Jan 1866.
This was my 4th great grandfather born 1790, grandfather of Elizabeth Emma Carr.
Death certificate for Margaret Carr, Morpeth, 1893:
Death in the Registration District of Morpeth, Sub-district of Bedlington, Northumberland, 1893, no. 118. Died 16 Nov 1893 at Chevington Colliery; Margaret Carr; Female; age 71; Wife of Thomas Carr, a Colliery Cartman; cause of death was Progressive Bulbar Paralysis. Informant was James Carr; Chevington Colliery; present at death; signed name. The death was registered 16 Nov 1893.
I was expecting this to be Margaret Robertson, born 1821, the wife of George Carr born 1820.
Death certificate for Daniel Delayne, Newport, 1861:
Death in the Registration District of Newport, Sub-district of Newport, Monmouth, 1863, no. 442. Died 18 Sep 1861 at Wedlock Court, Newport; Daniel Delayne; Male; age 60; General Labourer; cause of death was Pthysis uncertain. Informant was Margaret Flynn; Wedlock Court, Newport; present at death; could not sign name. The death was registered 21 Sep 1861.
I think this might be Daniel Dineen born 1806. I have his date of death as 17 Sep 1861 in Newport but I don’t have a source for it. I had a look for it and found it in the transcript of burials from St. Marys Roman Catholic Church, Newport:
Burial of Daniel Dineen (from Risca) age 47 years, died 17 Sep 1861, buried 21 Sep 1861 in the Catholic Cemetery. Class D, fee 5 shillings.
I don’t know who Margaret Flynn was. Was he was estranged from his wife Mary Nighan by that date and Margaret was his mistress? He was living with his wife and children in Aberystruth in the 1861 census so it does seem odd.
There are no other Dineens in the St. Mary’s transcript but there is a Duneen:
Burial of William Duneen, age 1, died 7 Jan 1868, buried 10 Jan 1868 in the Catholic Cemetery. Class F, fee 2 shillings, 6 pence.
And a Margaret Deneen:
Burial of Margaret Deneen, age 78, died 26 Feb 1862, buried 2 Mar 1862 in the Catholic Cemetery. Class D, fee 5 shillings.
I also received the birth certificate of William Facer, 1845, the brother of Alfred Facer whose birth we haven’t been able to find:
Birth in the Registration District of Newport Pagnell Union, Sub-district of Fenny Stratford, Buckingham, 1845, no. 488. Born 11 Feb 1845 at Wavendon; William Facer; Boy; father William Facer; mother Eliza Facer, formerly Higgs. Occupation of father: Labourer. Informant was Eliza Facer; Mother; Wavendon; signed name. The birth was registered 26 Feb 1845.
Some more arrived later today.
Death certificate for Alfred Facer, Newport Pagnell, 1912:

Informant was Lionel Facer; 143 Lightbourne Road, Manchester; present at death; signed name. The death was registered 14 Jan 1913.
Alfred is S’s direct ancestor, born about 1847 (we can’t find his birth).

Zilpa or Zilpha Perkins was born Zilpha Rance and married William Perkins. She is the grandmother of Mary Ann Rymell and S’ direct ancestor.

Mary Ann does not appear to be the person we assumed she would be. We thought she was Mary Ann Rymell, born 1846, the wife of Alfred Facer.
