Title: Surrey? death of Henry Spurgeon between 1793 and 1841
Post by: NNR on Friday 24 October 14 19:50 BST (UK)

A long time frame, I know, but the unusual name might help! I was wondering if anyone has access to records that show a burial for a Henry Spurgeon\Spurgeon\Spurgin in Surrey (probably around Croydon) between the baptism of his last child in 1793 and his widow's appearance on the 1841 census in Brighton. Henry was probably from Lewes in Sussex and had moved to Croydon in 1792/3. He was an ostler by trade, and his wife was named Ruth.

Yup, I'm hedging my bets across the two counties :)

It is helpful if you tell us that you have posted in more than one place and give the link to the post. It saves us wasting time looking for something that someone else may have already found on the other post(s).  ;)
