      (2) DR p. 90, Line 1148: Identified as Ducket W.

      NOTE: Judging from clues in the surrounding entries in the ledger-style death register, the first entry was probably filed by the physician and the second by the undertaker. Although both entries indicate a death date of Feb 24 1895, Ducket Gatrell's headstone shows it as Feb 22 1895.
