Hi Linda, The missing registration district is Hull (Yorkshire). If you enter the volume number (22) and the page number (313) along with the quarter and year on FreeBMD, then you get a list of all the people on the same page - and the registration district. John might still actually have been alive when John Thomas died. Did Eliza register her son's death and tell a little porkie? Alternatively he could have died any time between the census and his son's death, though if so he doesn't seem to have been buried in Lincolnshire.
