Up-date ... I ordered the Prescot death certificate and just received it. It says Thomas, a waterman, died 27 August 1861 at Crow Wood, Widnes, of typhus and pneumonia, and Joseph Birchall of 2 Welsh Row, St. Helens, was present at the death.
I googled Crow Wood, Widnes, and one time it used to be an isolation hospital, so I guess that would fit.

I have a baptism for a Thomas Birchall on 10 May 1854 in Farmworth, to Thomas Birchall and Indiana Nield. I couldn't find him in the census but I did find a death for him in 1854. I got a copy of the death certificate and it says he died 22 September 1854 in Sutton, St. Helens. It says he was the son of Thomas Birchall a waterman but the person who registered the death is Ann Aspinall. Indiana died in July 1854 and Thomas didn't re-marry until 1855, so I'm wondering who Ann Aspinall might be. All the children were born in Farnworth, Widnes, but Thomas died in St. Helens. His grandfather, Joseph, lived in St. Helens so I'm wondering if maybe he was with relatives there. Any suggestions?

Was there an address for where Thomas died?

It just says Sutton Head for both Thomas and the registrant.

Thanks ArgyllGran, I'll have to go through this - so many Birchalls, got my head spinning. I have no idea who this Ann Aspinall is - I've tried all kinds of combinations but nothing works. Maybe I'll just have to accept it and move on.
