  • The only evidence for his existence is his baptismal record. He is not recorded in the 1841 Census when he would have been 13 and could reasonably be expected to still be living with his parents, or in any subsequent census. Also, no trace of his death registration can be found (registrations started in July 1837) or a burial record. It is therefore concluded that be died sometime before the 1841 Census which took place on 6 June almost certainly in the Whitechapel area where his parents lived and was buried in a common grave.
