Re. Robert Rossel died Jan-March 1860 in Prescot. Volume 8b page 402. Can anyone please help. I've found what I believe to be a relevant death but need his age to confirm that I have the right person. |

The only way to find out how old he was is to purchase the cert................UNLESS the death is on LancsBMD............try looking there. |

I believe at that time the ages arent part of the GRO indexing , the age will be on the cert. |

Have you checked 1861 census? |

Would this be him from 1851 census? |

The only way to find his actual age is to buy the death certificate as age at death was not added to the index until much later than that. |

Thank you both for the information. I had wondered why the age of death was on many I've searched and hadn't realised that only happened from 1867. Not on Lancs BMD, so I guess I'll just send for the death certificate. Thanks again, all's clear now. |

Yes, Andrew that's him, and he doesn't appear on the 1861 census Reggie,which is why I strongly suspect that it's him. Thank you all. |

In the case of Prescot, some of the old Prescot RD (e.g., around Widnes) are now in the modern Cheshire, so you should also have checked at: |

Thank you for that mgnv. Even if, as you say, he isn't there, that's a very useful piece of information for me, as many of my ancestors were in that area and I wouldn't have considered looking at Cheshire BMD. |

Lyho47 - The other place you might find an age at death is in a burial rego, see: |
