Surrey Completed Look up Requests / Parish Records Births Farnham &/or Windlesham, Attfield
« on: Thursday 28 July 05 00:45 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for the birth of Richard Attfield, described in most records as "Richard of Farnham", probably born in Farnham or Windlesham in 1767 (IGI record), or 1771 (deceased researcher's records). He was married to Elizabeth Watmore in Holy Trinity in Gosport in 1795, (parish records confirm), and he was recorded living in almshouses in Farnham, "on charity, not of Surrey" on the 1841 census, aged 69. He died in 1844.
With all of this information, his birth and parentage remain a mystery, although I do know that he is my 3xg grandfather, as the name Watmore was passed down as a second given name through the generations until my Uncle Cecil Watmore Coleman.
If anyone can shed a little light on this mystery, I'd be most appreciative.
