Death of Pehr Heickinen

[Katie]

I am unable to find the date of death of my 4th great grandfather, Pehr Heickinen. Also known as Heikkinen. I hope you may be able to find it for me. Here is what I have gathered so far that may help pinpoint or verify your search.
Pehr 's Hiski Birth record states: Petrus Heickinen born 27 Jan 1755 to Lars Heickinen and Marg Tolotar in Ristajarvi,Paltamo.
He was married to Lisa Johannes Jokelainen (Jokelatar) 23 Mar 1775 in Ristajarvi
Lisa died age 70 on 02 Jun 1826 in Kiehimänsuu, Paltamo and her Hiski record states HRU (wife) which I conclude that she was not a widow and that her husband must have been alive.
Pehr's and Lisa's last child was born 1786 in Ristijarvi so Pehr must have been alive in 1786.
I have searched records between 1786 and 1826 and 1826 to 1845 (putting him at 90) and I also search the whole Hiski death entry in Paltamo for Pehr. Can't find any age of death that matches his birth date.
In case you need to verify Pehr's family this is a list of his children: Marget b.1777; Elisabeth b.1779; Lars b1780; Saara b.1782; Walborg b.1785; Anna b.1786.
Hope you can find it, because I can't.
Thank You
Janice

Most likely he died around 1826-1827. As you can see from the communion book, he has a cross next to his name just like Lisa. His last mark is 10 MAR 1826 and there is nothing for 1827. Unfortunately there's no death date listed. It's quite possible that the death and burial dates just weren't marked down. From the look of the orginal list of burials for 1826 it looks like they were all written down at the same time. Maybe the piece of paper that his death was marked down on got lost before that.

Thank you, Jani, once again you came through for me.
I knew there could some information in the communion book, but for some reason I could not find him. I could have had been a bit tired by the time I posted my question because I searched for a couple of hours for him, over and over again. Thank You.
