Find Ancestors

Can someone please help? I am looking for John Harrison's death, i know he died between the 1881 and 1891 census. Born 1847 in egton yorkshire, his wife was called Martha, he was living in South shields durham, Please help i am pulling my hair out here, thank you.

Which records have you looked at?

When was he living in South Shields?

Where was his widow in 1891?

Was JOHN his only forename?

There are lots aren't there! Based on age this is possible but who can say:

Deaths Sep 1883 (96%)
HARRISON John 37 Darlington 10a _
