Hello Linda, If you click on the Page number (313) in FreeBMD it shows others who were listed on the same page - which in this instance is Hull. It is almost certain therefore that Hull is the registration district of the entry you are looking at. Having run a very quick search for John Newton given the timescales you have given I see John Thomas Newton's death in 1854 was registered in Boston RD in Q2 (Jun) 1854. There is an entry for John Newton in Boston RD in Q1 (March) of 1854 - assuming both deaths were registered in the same district perhaps that is his father.

Eliza Plowright's 1st husband John Newton, I presume died/was killed between the taking of the 1851 census March 30, 1851 and his child's death March 29, 1854, and most probably before Eliza his wife became pregnant with her first child abt.

Hi Linda, Pam, Nivard and Meg and all you fantastic Lincs. Listers, It always pays to go back and revisit brick walls and it's always good to listen to your brilliant suggestions even though you doubt what you're being told. I didn't think he would be as far away as Hull (and although I was doubting Pam) I took a thorough relook at the Free BMD John Newton Mar 1854 7a 235 Boston death. On examination of the indexed names included with John Newton registered against the Boston 7a 235 entry is an Isaac Newton. John had a younger brother named Isaac! I ordered the death certificate. I'll let you know what the certificate uncovers Thank you so much Linda B.C.
