There is a John Smedley burial listed on findmypast at Brassington, Derbyshire, in 1856, age 64. I haven't got a sub so I can't check the record to see what details it gives. Brassington is very close to Upper Town on the map. There is a death on the GRO index Jul-Sep 1856 in Ashbourne district which would be the correct district for Bonsall. Also Brassington is listed as a sub-district of Ashbourne, and it may turn out that the record on findmypast is one of those Derbyshire Registrars' death index records rather than a burial, in which case I think Brassington would be the sub-district name.
