OC, you need to look at the London Gazette

http://www.gazettes-online.co.uk/

Choose London and Advanced search. Put William Whittaker in the exact match box and Garlick in the next box. You should get four matches and three are your man. This computer (OH's) is being difficult, but I did manage to see one of the pages which says Wm was in Lancaster jail!! I can't view that page at the same time as typing here so it's frustrating. Two of the entries are in 1843. so I'm thiking he was alive then.

Oh Merry! What a fantastic find!

His great granddaughter Ethlina, the biggest snob who ever walked this earth, must be spinning in her grave!

Thankyou thankyou!

lololol!! Maybe that's why Mrs Garlick changed her surname? Oh, the shame!!

I did look to see if Wm was still languishing in jail in 1851 but I couldn't see any obvious matches. There are some prisioners with virtually no details though. Perhaps they separated when he went to prison and afterwards she wasn't sure if he was dead or alive? ]

Oh, I'be just remembered......One of those Gazette entries mentioned all Wm's addresses and I thought one of them was Elizabeth's 1851 address, but OH's computer battery died at the very moment I was about to check!!

There's another Gazette entry under William Whitaker (one T) Garlick.

It's for the dissolution of a business partnership with Thomas Dickinson dated 10th Dec 1836.

They lived at Great Leigh St in 1841, that's probably what you remembered.

Well what a turn up, eh! Funny, I did once think I bet he's in prison, but that was really more of a spiteful dig at him than an actual serious thought.

Lancaster Gaol has a list of prisoners but not those in for debt unfortunately.

Oooh, I wonder if he died in there? Off for a look.

A-HA! got his death!

1854 Sept William Whittaker Garlick, Chorlton 8c 283, so he was out of jail by then and living with ?wife? son? daughter?.

I shall have to send for this cert as it will be interesting to see who registered the death.

Thankyou so much for your help Merry, as usual you have made me refocus, as well as providing me with new info.

OC

EDIT - silly old fool! (Me, that is). You already gave me that death but I was trying to fit it to someone else!

I don't suppose you're interested in John Garlick Holden, born c. 1812 and died in Kirkham in 1901?
