Inquest Report (Nottingham Review 27 September 1850 - page 4)
On Monday last, an inquest was held at the White Lion Tavern, Beeston, before Mr C. Swann, Coroner, to ascertain the death of Theophilus Bucknall, aged 72, a Framework Knitter, residing in the same place. On Saturday last, deceased was engaged in making some repairs to his stocking frame. He ate a hearty dinner of meat and potatoes and his wife left him shortly afterwards to go to Nottingham Market. On her return however at six o'clock, she found him stretched lifeless on the floor. It seems that the deceased had been for the last three weeks under the care of Messrs. Orton & Butler, surgeons, for water on the chest, and the jury returned a verdict of "found dead from natural causes."

Notes:

Theo moved his family from Breaston in Derbyshire to Beeston in Nottinghamshire (a few miles to the east of Breaston) sometime between 1781 & 1788. The Occupations not known but the family were probably smallholders and Framework knitters.
at the baptism of the first two children Elizabeth & Theophilus the mother is given as Sarah on the IGI but not on the parish records. subsequent baptisms state Elizabeth. As Theo married Elizabeth in 1773 we can assulme that this is a mistake on the part of the IGI.
