  	GRO ref: KEELING, James q3 1863 Stoke T RD 6b 84; GRO online index shows age at death as 56 His death was reported in the Staffordshire Advertiser of 8 August, 1863 (p. 5, col. 2, under 'Hanley'): "Fatal Accident at the Hanley Goods Station. - James Keeling, a man employed as day watchman at the Hanley goods station of the North Staffordshire Railway, was killed on Saturday evening through an act of his own imprudence, which it is to be feared is sadly too common. The unfortu- nate man had finished his work, and as one of the porters was engaged in tying a sheet on the last waggon, instead of going round, he attempted to cross the line between the waggons. The engine driver could not see the deceased, so that on the train slightly moving he was caught between the buffers of two carriages, and was so crushed that he died instantly. He is said to have been quite sober at the time."

  Family	Elizabeth GOTHAM,   b. Abt 1810, Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire, England ,   d. 17 Dec 1873, Stoke on Trent Reg Dist, Staffordshire, England  (Age ~ 63 years)
  Married	5 Aug 1833	St. Margaret’s Church, Wolstanton, Staffordshire, England
  	From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 26 Nov 2014) May have had a daughter Clara who was born and died in 1855. Her birth registration (entries in indexes) show that her mother's maiden name was Gotham, but I think it more likely that she was the daughter of George Keeling who had married Ann Gotham.
