    • It seems either:
      James didn't die in Guiltcross RD (he needn't have died at home),
      OR the entry was wrongly recorded,
      OR the entry was mistranscribed

      The death of a James Robertson was recorded in Guiltcross RD in Q1 1851 (13 122) - could this be this James? - now I've found his burial record I'm more-or-less certain it must be.
    Death certificate for James Robinson (b 1779)
    Death certificate for James Robinson (b 1779)
    Although the certificate shows James Robertson, the fact that there is no death registration of a James Robinson, that the death was in Old Buckenham and most convincingly that it was 6 days before James Robinson was buried shows that it was just a clerical error.
    (The GRO index shows Robertson, so it is not just an error on the copy I purchased)
    Buried 25 Feb 1851  All Saints’ Church, Old Buckenham, Norfolk, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location 
    • PR entry shows James Robinson as abode Old Buckenham, age 71 years, Thomas William Thompson, Officiating Minister. No cause of death given as it was for most at this time.
