Need help to find my 3xgt grandfather's death, aft

Please can someone help to find his death. I would like to get his & my 3xgt. grandmother's death certs. They are on 1851 census in Clerkenwell, Middlesex. His name is Jonas Thurrell & he is with his family, wife Mary. Both aged 56yrs. Jonas & Mary were both born in Norfolk. He was baptised in 1797. I have searched under different spellings. He was baptised as Jonas Thorald. On 1 daughters marriage cert he was Joseph Thurrell. The name Thurrell seems to have stayed as the family name. I cannot find them on 1841 census either. Assume they were in Middlesex by then, as a couple of their daughters were born there. Cannot find them on 1861 census, so assuming they died between 1851 & 1861. Thankyou for looking. Hilary x

Hi Georgina, I know the 1st letter almost looks like a J. It is definately the right family though. This whole family have been a thorn in my side. Would love to find his death so I can finally finish searching on him. Thanks for looking. Hilary. x
