Hi there. What I wonder now is, who was John Murfet? Could he be the son of Langman Murfet and Margaret Tebitt, born 1763? That would make him two years older than Susanna Vincent, so it looks right, but how on earth could it be proved or disproved? Nobody else has found any such link, but it would be very satisfying to do so.
Any thoughts?
Molly

Where was John Murfet 1863 born?
There's a burial on the Cambs FHS site - http://www.cfhs.org.uk/Search.html
of John Murfit age 67 in Littleport in 1830, which would fit very nicely
Did the 1785 marriage of John Murfet and Sarah Vincent state John "of this parish" or was a different parish of residence given? Who were the witnesses at the marriage?

Hi David, thanks for coming back so quickly.
John Murfet was baptised 30 January 1763 in St Andrew's Church, Soham, son of Langman and Margaret.
The Bishop's Transcript for Littleport doesn't show any details of the marriage on 17 April 1785 apart from the names John Murfet and Susanna Vincent.
I really hope its the same John. I don't think I can prove it, but it looks likely to me, unless I find anything to disprove it.
Thanks for the link re the burial in 1830. We press on!
Molly

As Soham and Littleport are only 8 miles apart I agree that it's probably him. Unless Langman left a will naming his children, and in particular "John of Littleport", proving it is another matter!

Hi there.
I am now convinced my ancestor James Murfet who married Ann Taylor in 1821 in Soham is the son of John Murfet born 1763 in Soham, and therefore grandson of Langman Murfet. All the bits of the puzzle fit, and I am certain that I have now linked my branch of the Murfets to all the rest, including those who migrated to Australia and New Zealand.
Thanks David and everyone else who helped.
Molly
