The burial transcription from FreeREG (St Andrew's Church) was originally done by The Friends of Dudley Archives & Local History Service which I was involved in. Where it mentions the "Abode" if it just says Netherton in the parish register, that's what would have been transcribed, if an actual address was stated, that address would have been transcribed.
Is this the baptism of the Emmanuel who you are looking for from FreeREG?
Baptism: 18 May 1834 St Thomas, Dudley
Emanuel - Parents: Thomas & Sarah Roberts - Abode: Netherton - Father's occ: Miner
Both the GRO Death Index and the burial from FreeREG which jimmy has found, give Emmanuel's age as 76, which is way out, but would family members have known when he was born as he wouldn't have had a birth certificate because they weren't introduced until 1st July 1837.
Personally, I would order the death certificate as this would give the address of where he died, age, occupation, cause of death and also the name of an informant of the death.
