Find Ancestors

David Morfett is looking for an ancestor under the same name as him (David Morfett) his grt grt grandfather.

1786 he was born - Can't find any birth record of him?

In the 1841 Census it was recorded he was born in 1786.

His wife is Sarah Jones also born in 1786. They were both living in Chelsea with their son Henry William Morfett born 1829.

Any information on his birth and his parents would be great. He has looked in Parish records but no luck.

I am wondering about this, David is a shoemaker, which would tie in with the apprenticeship record?

Yes Rose they are the only things I can find too.

perhaps David can cheeck the 1841 and come back with it at some point :-)

Do you think Sarah could have died in childbirth and the baby died too???????????????

or just coincidence of a death of David Morfett age 0.

When was the bad flu epidemic?? I know our family lost mothers and children all the same time in that.

Oh well done for finding the 1841! :-D
