I have so far been unable to find a credible death record for James George Nelson, born 1821, who is on the 1851 census below


James Nelson Head Married Male 60 1791 Silk Weaver Bethnal Green, Middlesex, England
Ann Nelson Wife Married Female 50 1801 Silk Weaver Bethnal Green, Middlesex, England
T Nelson Son Unmarried Male 17 1834 Silk Weaver Bethnal Green, Middlesex, England
H Nelson Daughter Unmarried Female 14 1837 Silk Weaver Bethnal Green, Middlesex, England
C Nelson Daughter - Female 7 1844 Scholar Bethnal Green, Middlesex, England
H Nelson Son - Male 5 1846 Scholar Bethnal Green, Middlesex, England
J Nelson Son Unmarried Male 30 1821 Silk Weaver Bethnal Green, Middlesex, England**************************
M Nelson Daughter In Law Unmarried Female 29 1822 Silk Weaver Bethnal Green, Middlesex, England
J Nelson Son - Male 4 1847 Scholar Bethnal Green, Middlesex, England

His wife is Mary Ann, nee Crighton, who re-married as follows

Name: Mary Ann Nelson
[Mary Ann Crichton]
Gender: Female
Record Type: Marriage
Marriage Date: 8 Aug 1853
Marriage Place: St John of Jerusalem, South Hackney, Hackney, England
Father: George Crichton
Spouse: John Gibbons.......Widower
Father: John Gibbons..........Tailor


Son James,born 1847, is with his mother and stepfather in 1861, as James George Gibbons.

If anyone could find a death, I would be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO grateful

Please note : I DO NOT want, or need, ANY other info about James or any other family members, as I already have that.

It is ONLY the death of James that is eluding me

Thanks in anticipation...........

I think I'll go with the West London death - for now. Not sure why I ignored it previously, as it’s been a while since I looked at this twig. I might at some stage invest in the cert, but not in the immediate future.

Thanks to those who posted info. I appreciate your taking the time
