    It is assumed that he died at the address given in the 1851 Census. The name recorded in the death index is Joseph Mussulwhite as opposed to Joseph Musselwhite. However is is known from census records that Joseph died sometime between the 1851 and 1861 censuses. As there is no registration for the death of a Joseph Musselwhite in Plymouth between these dates Mussulwhite is considered to be either an error in entering his name on the death certificate or a transcription error by a clerk.
