Identification
The distinctive sequence of names and the 1857 registration make this a strong candidate for William Henry Bartleman Hawes. “battle an” appears to be an indexing or supplied-transcription error for Bartleman; it is preserved here as received rather than silently corrected. The original image should be checked to establish the printed spelling.
What this entry establishes
The source extract displays “Death Date: Dec 1857”. With only a quarterly index entry, the supported date is the October–December registration quarter, not a confirmed December death. A death may also precede its registration. Holborn is the registration district and does not establish an exact place of death, residence or burial.
The certificate reference is 1857, December quarter, Holborn, volume 1b, page 309. A death certificate could establish the exact date, place, recorded age, occupation, cause and informant, subject to the contents of the original record.
Evidence status: supplied index transcription; original index image and certificate not yet examined. Identity is strongly suggested but remains subject to those checks.
