Date of death.
The dead person's name, address where they died, age, occupation.
What they died of.
The informant, their address and perhaps relationship.
Date of registration.

Most of my death certs show relationship of informant, but not always.

Confusing us again as, of course, there's no such place as Wigby, Essex.

1881:
William Bennett Lucy abt 1834 Wigby, Essex, England Head Cromhall, Gloucestershire - hawker

There are 3 William Bennetts born c.1834 on the 1841 census in Essex. You need his father's name from the marriage cert to be sure of which one is yours.

One of his marriage certs would give you his father's name and occupation.

Does anyone know the origins of William Bennett born essex around 1834 and died 1907 fracturing his skull after a fall from a cart.
I know he married twice to matilda and lucy and lived in cromhall.
Have come to a dead end looking for his parents or relatives.

Thanks
