Hans Petersen or Hans Petersen born 1849 or 1850 died between 1887 and 1897, where can I find out this information about his death. He was married an English women Fanny Twigg in 1879 in Hull.

Hans Petersen was born in Tune Sogn. He lived in Hull. Aunts have told me he died in Hull between 1887 and 1897, however, I only have evidents that he died in this time frame not where he died.

Hi The 1881 British census has a Fanny M Peterson, sailors wife age 23 Click Here no Hans listed though.
England also has a 1901 census on line click here There are a couple of possibilities for Fanny.
If you click on the useful links button on the home page at that site, there is a link to a database of marriages, births, and deaths. It is a subscription site but they have a free trial. You might be able to find something there. I haven't tried it so can't say good, bad or indiferent

Thank you Carla. Fanny died in 1897. The Fanny M Peterson you found is the correct person. Frances M is her daughter. Fanny and Hans had two other children, Albert and Sorine. It seems most of what happened with this family dodged around the census both in England and Norway.
