  • Died after 7-Apr-1861 census and before 1871 when George was recorded as a Widower in the census, living with his son Albert.
    
    No obvious death for Rebecca Ann Stocks in Lancashire or Yorkshire between 1861-71.  In 1861, Rebecca may have started using Ann as her name (see 1861 census).  Thereforer, death may be recorded as Ann Stocks.
    
    There is a "Rebecca Ann STORK" death recorded for Huddersfield Q1-1872 (9a, 287) but age is recorded as 1. However, there is no corresponding birth
    
    Deaths Jun 1862   (>99%)
    Stocks  Rebecca     Burnley  8e 120
    This is for Rebecca Stocks, wife of Benjamin Stocks, a Carter.  This Rebecca died 10 May 1862 at 22 Wood St, Habergham Eaves, Burnley, aged 48.  The cause of death was "Apoplexy" (stroke).
    
    As no match for Rebecca, the death was probably recorded as Ann Stocks.
    
    There is a death in 1863 for Ann Robinson at Ashton, aged 39 years. This could be her if Robinson (not Stocks).  The burial service was refused!  The death record as age 34 not 39, Ashton Town, but this may be a transcription error.
