Individual Details
Michael DEVINE
(20 Apr 1829 - 28 Nov 1873)
Michael's baptismal sponsors were John Devine and Anna Birmingham.
From the 1871 census of England we know that Michael, aged 40, was unmarried and living at 7 Holland St., Kensington. He was a bootmaker. Listed with him in the census return are his widowed mother, his unmarried brother John, and a widowed aunt, Irish-born Elizabeth Bellinger who was a 68-year-old retired laundress.
Michael's death certificate tells us he died of "sudden syncope, natural causes", the word "syncope" meaning a fainting spell, usually related to a temporary insufficient blood flow to the brain, most often occurring when the blood pressure is too low and the heart does not pump a normal supply of oxygen to the brain. The certificate states that an inquest was held on 1 December 1873. Michael was only 44 years of age when he died. He left an estate of "under £100" to his sister Agnes.
