Just wondering if someone could help me with these two brothers The two births below appear to be brothers Therefore I am looking for what happened to the Robert born 1843 as the second would usually only be named Robert if the first died.
I cannot find any record of death for him and would like to know that and where he may be buried.
Robert Williamson Born 22 Jul 1843
Father Thos Williamson
Father's Occupation Joiner
Mother Agnes Jardine (transcribed as Gardine in Ancestry but certificate clearly shows Jardine)
Address 6 Fawcett St HULME
Baptised 1 Oct 1843 St Peter's Square Presbyterian (Scotch Church)
Robert Williamson Born 30th Nov 1845
Father Thos Williamson
Father's Occupation Joiner
Mother Agnes Jardine
Address 6 Fawcett St HULME
Baptised Feb 1st 1846 St Peter's Square Presbyterian (Scotch Church)

Deaths Mar 1844 (>99%) WILLIAMSON Robert Thomas Chorlton 20 194
If I click on "Chorlton", then the more info "here" link, I get to see a list of the civil parishes in Chorlton RD. I also get:
CHORLTON REGISTRATION DISTRICT Registration County : Lancashire. Created : 1.7.1837. Abolished : 1.1.1925 (to become Manchester South registration district). Sub-districts : Ardwick, Barton, Chorlton upon Medlock, Didsbury, Gorton, Hulme, Openshaw, Rusholme, Stretford. GRO volumes : XX (1837-51), 8c (1852-1924). Registers currently held at : Manchester, Salford and Trafford. [Baeton isnow held at Salford RD and Stretford is now held at Trafford RD - the rest are now held at Manchester RD. The Sub-districts listed above are all those that were ever active in Chorlton RD. The ones active in the 1840s were Ardwick, Chorlton upon Medlock, Didsbury, Hulme, and Stretford.

Lancashire Death indexes for the years: 1844 Surname Forename(s) Age or Date of Birth Sub-District Registers At Reference WILLIAMSON Robert Thomas 0 Hulme Archives+, Manchester Central Library HUL/10/499
and here's the matching new GRO hit:

Just for illustrative purposes, here are some other random hits:

Here, we can exclude

and the matching LancsBMD hit
Lancashire Death indexes for the years: 1843 Surname Forename(s) Age or Date of Birth Sub-District Registers At Reference WILLIAMSON Thomas 3 Chorlton-on-Medlock Manchester CHO/10/92
but there might be occassions when this is more problematic.
LancsBMD gives the age at death in years - one can notice that when the age is less than 2 y.o., the new GRO gives the age in months.
-----------------
Lets look at the near-problematic Thomas:
Deaths Mar 1843 (>99%) WILLIAMSON Thomas Chorlton 20 194
Deaths Dec 1843 (>99%) WILLIAMSON Thomas Chorlton 20 144
Click on the page numbers to get all the names on that GRO page, then look up some of these names at LancsBMD. I've ediited out the ones I didn't check and also appended the local ref:
Deaths Mar 1843 (>99%) HARRIMAN Mary Chorlton 20 194 HUL/9/53 HESSLEWOOD Robert Chorlton 20 194 HUL/9/54 WILLIAMSON Thomas Chorlton 20 194 HUL/9/49
Deaths Dec 1843 (>99%) HALIN Martin Chorlton 20 144 CHO/10/94 HORTON Simeon Fergus Chorlton 20 144 CHO/10/98 WILLIAMSON Thomas Chorlton 20 144 CHO/10/92
It's now easy to make the local assignments for the Thomas's, as I've done above.
------------------------------------
A local index might not be so helpful as LancsBMD - here's an 1844 death lookup at NorthLincs: Surname Forename First initial Second initial Maiden name RegisterNumber EntryNumber SMITH Elizabeth BR1/3 342 SMITH Ann EPW/1 499 SMITH John BR1/3 360 SMITH James W BR1/3 356 SMITH John BR1/3 420 SMITH James OF.2 197 SMITH William BR1/3 424 SMITH Joseph BR1/3 430 SMITH Male CR/2 145
The local index usually gives the local ref- they might not decode it for you, but it's not to hard to guess that: BR1 (and BA1, WINT) are Brigg (Barton and Winterton) subdistricts from Glanford Brigg RD, EPW and CR are Epwoeth and Crowle subdistricts from Thorne RD, and OF is Owston from Gainsborough RD No ages, though. A local ref must give the suubdistrict, and the sequential volume number within that subdistrict for Bs and Ds (with churches in place of subdistricts for Ms), and either an entry number (in the range 1-500) or a page number (in the range 1-100) for Bs and Ds. Knowledge of the subdistrict might resolve which rego was your guy.
Also a local index might index by year of birth, rather than year of registration. This certainly makes more sense - I recently came across an 1885 birth.that was rego'ed in 1948q2 - obviously the second date I would check (it wasn't in the UK). On the other hand, the GRO index does say where their copy of the rego is - the best one could have hoped for would be a footnote on the relevant 1885q2 index page saying "See J'48".
