Death of Edward BLAKEY (14 Nov 1886)

After returning to England around 1882, Edward BLAKEY was living at 20 Weston Street in Manningham, Bradford, Yorkshire. This was in the vicinity of where his daughter, Eliza, and her husband William Hanson were living. Both the 1891 and 1901 Censuses show the Hanson family at 41 Weston Street.

On 14 Nov 1886 Edward passed away from old age. He actually was 82 years old since he was born in 1804. His death was witnessed by his granddaughter, Harriet (Hanson) Littleson who was the informant on his death certificate. At this time we do not know where he was buried.
