Mark Catesby fell crossing High Holburn and was brought by carriage
                 to his home behind St Luke's Church on Old Street where he died on
                 23 December 1749. On 26 December he "was buried in the Church
                 yard of St Luke" and his name was inscribed in the parochial register
                 as "Marke Sketesby". The cause of his death was given as "Age".
                        His widow, Elizabeth, died of consumption in February 1753,
                 and she was also interred in the graveyard of St Luke's Church.
                        They  were  survived,  as  far  as  we  can  determine  by  their
                 daughter  Ann  and  their  youngest  son  Mark,  as  well  as  by  Mrs
                 Catesby's daughter by her first marriage, Elizabeth Rowland.
