I am trying to find a death for Lucas Cuzner born 1739 in Berkley Somerset . He married Grace Morris on 11th April 1773 Somerset. Lucas was the brother of my 5 x Great Grandfather. The Cuzner surname does sometimes get spelt differently over time I have tried a few variations but not finding anything. Lucas was the son of Jeremiah Cuzner and Maria Parker. Any help on this much appreciated. Pam

He was still alive in 1818:

Name: Jeremiah Cuzner
Residence Place: Frome, Somerset, England
Gender: Male
Christening Date: 17 Sep 1817
Christening Date (Original): 17 Sep 1817
Christening Place: Holy Trinity, Frome, Somerset, England
Father's Name: Luke Cuzner
Mother's Name: Grace


Grace Cuzner
England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975

EDIT:

Can this be the same couple?? Lucas would have been 79 when daughter Grace was christened.
But the names fit.

Ah!
It looks like the son Jeremiah wasn't christened until just before his death:

Maybe then they decided to have Grace christened (or she decided for herself) - just in case she died too.

Maybe she did die and no record has survived.

EDIT:

the Grace below isn't the same one. This one who died in 1874 seems to have been a Grace Crissp, who married a John Cuzner.
She appears in censuses with several children.

Thank you to everyone for all your hard work . Not sure if Luke Cosner will be him as if he died in 1812 he would have been about 72. Thanks again Pam

(wasn't sure if he fitted in family anywhere, how sure are you of that 1739 Birth, did wonder if there was a name on actual Parish Baptism Record, not given on Baptism I posted)
