There is a GRO for a John Simpson dying in Chorlton, age 60, Q1 - all of which matches. However, I can find a John Simpson in 1911 in Chorlton who would fit this death. Searched for suitable GRO entry: 1912 Simpson Ulverston JFM - None found [Tried with Exact, Similar, Phonetic) - Also Simson 1912 John Ulverston JFM - None found Emailed Barrow Record Office to see if they hold the Burial PRs [18/07/2022]
