Hi ,merry , i'm trying to establish Richard walkers Death , so we can see at least how old he was .I think he was in Blackrod In 1841 as there is a richard walker in goodmans fold on the blackrod census . so he was still alive then presuming it is him . I then look at burials , I couldn't see any for him after that time around the wigan , Blackrod area . There are only two , that stand out more than others on the burials on Family search . there is one for 1843 in Wigan ,no mention of age , and in 1852 a death in Bolton , which blackrod could have come under but no mention of age on the site . The others are all liverpools and places further away . So it's hobsons at the moment . I don't know if ancestry will give the age of death ? anyway it's worth trying to find that out otherwise I'm stuck looking for him .As you said walker is a common name . So it makes even harder . Let me know anyway .thanks

Ther is also death in 1861 in Wigan . can't find it in the chrich indexes , but that would make him 81 /82 like you proposed .

hi ,i thought i'd search the wigan onlines to see if there was a birth around 1778/79 . there is a thomas walker , baptised 1780 to lanslet and Mary formerly Barton . wallgate Wigan . Just a thought that is name could be thomas richard . it's a long shot .

See posts #9-#14 re Richard Walker.
You say some of the death registration entries you have looked at don't give an age. You need to use the GRO site for death registrations before 1866 - the same site as for the pre-1911 mmn information for births: https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/#0 It's free.

The 1861 death registration is posted in #13 on this thread. Further info including hs place of birth from the census is in post #14.
No, his death certificate will not show his place of birth, exact or otherwise. That information was only required for death certificates from 1 April 1969 and even then, the place of birth will only be as accurate as the information given by the informant. You need to read the webpages here: https://web.archive.org/web/20190216...es/indexbd.htm There is information about what you can expect to find on England/Wales certificates and how you can interpret that information to help with your research.
