Find Ancestors

Hi,
I'm trying to find a death for Thomas Woolcott b 1857 Hackney.
On the 1901 census he lived with his wife Louise and children at Vyner Street. On the 1911 census Louise, a widow was married to William George Gilkes, they had been married in 1909 and lived at 121 Gethnal Green Road.
I have looked on the bmd's but can't find a death.
Can anyone help please.
Ann.

perhaps he lied about his age?

But you never know.

There is no obvious birth in London in 1845 to match that death.

Good find , thats his alright, I only have the bmd record,
Thank you. I wonder what happened to him.
Ann.

I think the chap on that probate is a bit too old?

Yeah MC, looks a bit out!

Louise remarried in 1909 so i don't think thats him, I may be wrong.

I've found Thomas Culverwell Woolcott on the 1901 and he's a different chap altogether.

You'll need to buy the death cert to check the details

I can't find a death record.
Ann :-(

I mean the one that cagsie posted

The age could be way out, if the informant didnt know his age

I've had a look at the image and the figure for the age of the Thomas that died in 1907 is very poor. Say, his age was 52 it would be spot on! Could it have been mistranscribed?

yes of course,
I thought my lateral thinking was improving, but I am learning all the time.
Thank you
Ann.

Hi londonbelle.
Looks as if you could be right.

Many thanks for your help everyone.
