The 1859 Nantwich death which comes up on FreeBMD (both spellings) is the 4-year-old whom Florence says is the wrong person.

Florence -

is this the 37-year-old's death, on GRO? Not in Nantwich :

PROFIT, GEORGE 37
GRO Reference: 1859 S Quarter in MACCLESFIELD Volume 08A Page 72

and on FreeBMD:

Deaths Sep 1859 (>99%)
Profit George Macclesfield 8a 72

Forgot to say, on Family Search.org, I also found the death and he is buried in Christ Church Macclesfield, Cheshire but it doesn't give any reference numbers.
Date given as 3 Sep 1859

No they are not the correct ones as checked with GRO and the ages dont match.

When I search on here using Prophet note with 1 T not 2, it comes up with the details but its on the Cheshire Parish of registers and doesn't give the usual find with GRO ref numbers.

I tried BMD with various spellings and this death doesn't come up.
If it shows on a Parish register then it must be reg with the GRO surely? I tried searching but without info except Dod and Dob it doesn't find anything.

It has to be somewhere!

It is on Freebmd.

Rather than putting the surname just put Pro*. It looks as though there are two spellings in Nantwich.

Ok so I have found the death actually on here, after ruling out several using the GRO
and the spelling changes didnt help!
But it comes up with Cheshire Diocese of Chester parish burials so how to do I find the GRO ref number so I can either download or order a death cert.?

d 1859 ( age 37)
b 1822

Look at the GRO site yourself…it’s FREE - and gives age at death

I am trying to find out when this George Prophett was born.
He died
1859 OND Q4
Pg 193
line 17
Nantwich, Cheshire

This isnt the correct death.as this one is age 4!

On Free BMD and on here it only gives his death and doesn't show his birth or his age.
I want to know so I can prove this is the correct person I'm looking at.

Apart from ordering the death cert, can anyone else maybe look at a different site to confirm for me please?

Thankyou
