Death record of William FLUCK died 1862 Whitchurch (General)
I am hoping that someone may be able to help me in finding a record of death for an ancestor William FLUCK. His burial is listed on this website in WHITCHURCH Herefordshire 1/8/1862 aged 80 BUT I can find no record of his death so that I can order a death certificate. Can anyone advise me if perhaps his death was not registered or if the burial records may be wrong? I have searched through the records for death in the quarter JAS 1862 under possible other spellings of his surname, FLUKE, FLOOK etc and also the quarter before.
Any ideas would be greatfully recieved, Denise

Hi Denise
Just found a William Fluck registered JAS quarter 1861 at GRO ref 6c/155, but seems a long time to wait to bury him in Whitchurch if it's the same one!! Unfortunately no ages on the index page.
Cheers, Celia

Thank you for taking the time to look. I might just have to try some of the records of death and see what they turn up !!
Thanks again Denise

I don't know, but Fluck is not a common name as far as I am aware. A Walter Henry Fluck was executor of the will of one of my grandfathers brothers. He may be one of yours. Places involved were Newnham and Soudley and the time frame was around 1926.
Best of Luck,
Roger

Not a "rare" surname in Gloucestershire - concentrations around Stroud and Tewkesbury
This interesting and unusual surname is derived from the Old Norse personal
name "Floki", which was originally a byname meaning outspoken or enterprising;
the name may have been given to a latter-day entrepreneur. This is one of the
many Scandinavian names to have survived into modern surnames; other such
names are Lawman, from the Old Danish "Lag(h)man", Coleman, from "Kalman",
Swain, from "Sueinn", and Drummond, from "Dromundr". The name development
since 1609 includes the following: Joseph Floox (1694, London); Joseph Flukes (1787, London);
John Flooks (1797, London); and Charles Fluck (1829, London).
The modern surname can be found as Flook, Fluck, Flooks, Flucks and Flux.
You may recognise this "local" FLUCK
