William Taylor, Brick Row

[Dave Taylor]

Hi, I've been trying to find a date of death for my ancestor William Taylor. I have just received a death certificate for a possible match from 1910, with address given as 2 Brick Row, Bedlington (Bank Top). This led me to this forum and I've read the post on here around Brick Row, which was very informative.

However, I'm unsure if the certificate is a match for my William, as the location and occupation are different.

William Taylor was born in Scotland 1841 and all records I can find of him show him living in Newcastle working as a Carpenter. He is alive and living in Byker, Newcastle in 1901 census, and in the 1911 census his wife is a widow, stating that she was married for 43 years. As they were married in 1866, this gives a rough date of death at 1909. So both the age on the certificate, 68, and the year of death, match my William. It is possible that due to old age he stopped working as a Carpenter and took on the role of Cartman, so that could also fit.

So my question is, are there any other records of a William Taylor, born around 1841-42 living in Bedlington before 1910 that shows I have the wrong William, or is there anything that can show I have the correct person. I know this is a long shot, but I have been looking for this detail for many years now.

Many thanks in advance to all that take the time to read this.
