Death notice in Ware’s Whitehaven advertiser dated 25/12/1832. “Mr W King an eminent cabinet maker & guilder died age 76.

……………………………………………………………..
Bridgit King. Born: Sometime between 1794 & 30/12/1796. Died: 09/01/1857. (buried in same grave as her brother William A.
Notes on Bridgit. In 1841 census she resides at Tangier Street along with Sarah (45) and R(F) King (35). Both women refer to Robert as their brother. In 1851 census she is a visitor @ her brother’s house in Lowther Street. It appears that in 1857 her death took place in Lowther Street, a spinster age 62.
With reference to DOBs in the 1841 census I feel a mistake has been made. It has Bridgit down as 40 making dob 1801. However if one takes Sarah’s age and use it for Bridgit then her dob would be 1796. more in keeping with available records.
