Find Ancestors

Hi I am trying to find a death record for my Gt grandad Thomas Bucknell he was born & lived ( as far as I know ) in Cardiff. He registered my grandfathers birth in 1884 but I can find nothing after this his wife Mary Jane is described as widow on her death in 1902. Anybody any ideas?? Ruth

Have you found his family on the 1891 census?

Last known to be alive on which census ?

Have you also looked at another spelling of BUCKNALL

Is this the right family

1901 I thought it was this one still in Cardiff

This might be the grandfather born in 1884:

Bucknell Alfred Samuel Cardiff 11a 354

(and this marriage
Marriages Mar 1908
BUCKNELL Alfred Samuel Cardiff 11a 419
LEESON Harriet Mabel Cardiff 11a 419)

Looks to be a servant in 1891.

My Greatgrandfather Thomas Bucknell was born in Cardiff in 1850 He married Mary Jane Williams in 1870 in Cardiff. I can find no record of Him after my Grandfathers (Alfred Samuel) birth in 1884. He doesnt' appear on any census . Mary Jane is described as His widow on Her death certificate(1902)can any body help? Ruth

John Rosser Bucknell from 1881 census is a boarder in 1891 (i.e. not with family)

Spotted that one for 1891 but not yet found the others

Cannot see George Manley in 1891.:
Births Dec 1875
Bucknell George Manley Cardiff 11a 298
Marriages Dec 1897
Bucknell George Manley Cardiff 11a 466

1895 John Rosser Marriage, Thomas (Boiler Maker).

1897 George Marriage above, Thomas Deceased (Boiler Maker).

1908 Alfred Marriage, Thomas Deceased.

Still no death registration.

Thank you all for help still no further forward. My Gt grandma Mary Jane ( Williams ) was born in Barnstable. So thank you Shirley but not mine. The others are thanks to everyone but still no nearer finding a death record. Ruth

Ruth,

Have you found Mary Jane and Alfred in 1891?

If the marriage details that Chris found are correct, he died between 1895 and 1897.
