Can't find a GRO to match it.
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]

Eleanor (daughter of William BIGLAND and Mary ROBINSON) was born between Apr 1848 and Jun 1848 in Cartmel, Lancashire, England; was christened on 14 Jan 1849 in Daughtarn, Cartmel, Lancashire, England; died in 1889 in Ulverston, Lancashire, England; was buried on 8 Jul 1889 in Kirkby Ireleth, Lancashire, England.

9. Eleanor Bigland ROBINSON was born between Apr 1848 and Jun 1848 in Cartmel, Lancashire, England; was christened on 14 Jan 1849 in Daughtarn, Cartmel, Lancashire, England (daughter of William BIGLAND and Mary ROBINSON); died in 1889 in Ulverston, Lancashire, England; was buried on 8 Jul 1889 in Kirkby Ireleth, Lancashire, England. Other Events and Attributes:
- Name: Eleanor Bigland

- Census: 7 Apr 1861, Lower Holker, Lancashire, England; : 14y; Address: Mireside?
- Occupation: 7 Apr 1861, Lower Holker, Lancashire, England; House Servant; : 14y
- Census: 3 Apr 1881, Kirkby Ireleth, Lancashire, England; : 30y; Address: Soutergate Cottages
Notes:
Based on what little information I had I decided to have a good search to try and find Eleanor.
Could find no suitable entry for either Bigland or Robinson in GRO indexes.
However, in the IGI there is a suitable baptism:-
14/01/1849 - Cartmel - Eleanor Robinson d/o Mary Robinson
The date and place fit nicely as does the idea of no father.
--------------------------------------------------
Her mother was Mary Robinson.
Armed with this proceeded to look in the censuses.
First stop was 1851 looking for Mary Robinson and baby Eleanor
Didn't find Mary, but believe that I have found Eleanor with her grandparents. (Eleanor is given as Ellenor).
-------------------------------------------------
There is only 1 potential William Bigland who could be her father:
See William Bigland's notes
1872 Farm Servant [Marriage Certificate]
Couldn't sign name on marriage certificate
I had some doubts about the transcription of her marriage cert so
contacted Ulverston Record Office who checked the entry for me whilst on the phone and confirmed that it is definitely Robinson - no doubts.
Looking for birth:
Checked GRO pages for 1848 - 1852 inclusive
Looked for Eleanor Bigland - no likely candidate
Looked for Eleanor Robinson - following possibilities:-
1848 OND Eleanor Robinson Ulverstone XXV 217*
1850 AMJ Eleanor Robinson Wigton XXV 216~
1850 OND Eleanor Robinson Whitehaven XXV 174~
* Added to register between 2 other entries
~Wrong county really
Birth:
Ancestry, FMP, FreeBMD etc have an entry for Q4 1848 Ulverston 25 217
In all cases the image is a copy of the GRO Handwritten register.
When I ordered a copy I was told that the details on the Cert that they had didn't match what I submitted.
I questioned this - reply awaited 28/07/2022
I originally wrote to OPCS in 1994 and they couldn't find it then.
Note that GRO Birth index for her daughter Mary lists her maiden name as Bigland.

Cannot find a suitable entry in FreeBMD
Checked GRO Index:-
1841 - 1842 inclusive
Bolton & Boulton
Nothing suitable found
It is possible that he is registered as Atkinson but unlikely.
There is a Robert Atkinson listed for 1841 but he is in Wigton and appears with his family in the 1851 census.
Birth:
Parish register lists his mother as a Single Woman
Marriage Cert lists his father as Robert Atkinson, Butcher
Can't find a suitable match for his father anywhere
There is a Robert Atkinson in Wigton (would expect Bootle) in Q1 1842 but mother is Hodgson
