William Hearn death registration extract

RiD No.: 749

Personal Details

Birth Q1 1866 Middleton, Norfolk
We believe Willam was born in Middleton, Norfolk. The birth of a William R HEARN is registered in Freebridge Lynn district in March quarter 1866.
Death Q4 1906 (age 40) Freebridge Lynn, Norfolk
The only death registration I can find which fits in terms of location and date is of a William Hearn in Freebridge Lynn, Norfolk in December quarter 1906. The registration district of Freebridge Lynn includes the parish of Middleton. The only difficulty with this find is that the register page available online (copied above) is not clear and appears to show an age at death ending with a 5 (the first number is not clear). Our William would have been 40 according to his birth date.
This death record will be retained until proved otherwise.
