This is the only death reg for a David Billingham that I can see,

Deaths Mar 1887.
Billingham David. age 0. Dudley. 6c. 77.

so you think he took step fathers first name by mistake
or it was written down by mistake

and should say JOhn

I think its a possibilty.

That sounds about right, there isn't a David Billingham bricklayer anywhere that I can see.

Is this David Cockins father ?
