It is intimidating to say the least to search for someone with a common surname, but I still have to hope someone else out there in cyberland is connected to this gentleman. He is not a direct relative, so I have nothing more than what I list here. I only seek information on his death to help complete our family records. Peter John ANDERSON was born 13 Jan 1817 in Unst, Shetland, Scotland. He married Eleanor WANN in Christ Church, Tynemouth, Northumberland, England, on 9 Jan 1843. She is my wife's 2g grand aunt. Eleanor was born 8 Mar 1825 in Rock Moor, Northumberland. She died 17 Jul 1885 in Chirton, Northumberland. We would like to locate the date and place of death for Peter. When my wife's ancestors came to America in the 1860's they brought information with them about their family and kept in touch with those still in England for awhile. The problem is that almost all of the dates we had handed down to us were corrupted over the years either by bad copying or bad memories. I have had to research parish records and government records to get the accuracy back into our files. We have been told he died 19 Nov 1899. Since even the information on his wife was initially wrong and had to be researched and corrected I have little confidence this is correct. IF THERE IS ANYONE WITH A CONNECTION TO THIS MAN WHO CAN HELP US OUT, PLEASE LET US KNOW. I would even be really happy if he could be found on the 1891 Census to give us a better idea of where he might have been when he died. The British Birth/Marriage/Death index has a very likely prospect with a Peter ANDERSON, 82, in the 4th quarter of 1899 index. That all fits nicely, but the location is a question. The registering district is Dartford, and we have no indication he or his family would be there. Thanks for your time and help. Ed Scriven
