Yes, looks like it. I can't find a definite death for Theophilus, there's a chap of the same name died 1944, but I've found his birth in 1866 in Solihull and tracked him through census so a different person.

I'm wondering if Theophilus was an assumed name.

Thanks MC...................

The certificate is defo needed then

I had a look at the image of that 1871 census and I'd say the name for the lad born in 1859 is Thomas W.

This is that family in 1861:

GEORGE, John Head Married M 27 1834 Coal Miner Salop
GEORGE, Jane Wife Married F 26 1835 Wolverhampton, Staffordshire
GEORGE, Mary ... Daughter F 4 1857 Scholar Wednesfield, Staffordshire
GEORGE, Thomas H Son M 2 1859 Wednesfield, Staffordshire
GEORGE, Edward Brother Unmarried M 25 1836 Coal Miner Salop
INFANT Son M 0 (12H) 1861 Wednesfield, Staffordshire

Piece: 2003 Folio: 80 Page: 3
Registration District: Wolverhampton
Civil Parish: Wednesfield

Address: 17, New Cross, Wednesfield County: Staffordshire

Although it's been transcribed as Thomas H here, it's definitely a "W" on the image.

Is this the son
