Anyone with a subscription to find my past, please would you look up the burial of John Blaker, buried 4 March 1845 at St Peter & St Paul, Grays Thurrock.
I have found the burial on the National Burial Index that says he was age 31. He is not on the GRO death index, the one on there is not this John Blaker but another one.
I would like to know if Find my past has any other information on. Sometimes names are mistranscribed and I wonder if this may be the case, as I can not link this John in to any family.
Many thanks

Thanks Chris for looking it up. I had hoped that find my past would have the burial image, rather than just copied from the NBI.

? spellings different surname but Orsett is the right area.
BAKER John Orsett 12 137 Mar.1845

Many thanks everyone.

I just thought Find my past may have had the image as they have a number that I have seen in the past.

I have a copy of the Third edition of the National Burial Index but obviously this is only a transcript.

I just have a feeling that the surname could have been mistranscribed as Blaker as none of my Blakers fit. Although some did live in Grays Thurrock.

Thanks again

Yes Jan, I think it could well be Baker, in which case would be of no interest to me, other than to note it not a Blaker.

1841 this could be the Baker which could fit with birth/death year

John Baker
Age:
27

abt 1814

Where born:

Thanks Jan, that seems fairly likely. I will make a note against my records that he is possibly a Baker not Blaker.
Thanks Again everyone for trying to help.
