Post by: gill rattray on Friday 09 July 21 22:28 BST (UK)

Does anyone have any info. on William Death and Elizabeth nee Spells who were married Steeple Essex 1780? Believe they lived in Southminster Essex and Hawstead, Bury St Edmunds, Great Whelnetham and Barrow in Suffolk.

What sort of information are you looking for ?
As you have their locations I assume you have their children as well
as these are their birthplaces.

Thanks for this Jim. You have confirmed what I thought. That this is the same William and Elizabeth living in these different towns.
Do you know who William's parents were? I believe it was John Death and Martha nee Jacob who were living Barrow Suffolk.

It's a possibility as their first 2 children were William & Martha.
You need to look at the extended family.
Are there any siblings as witnesses etc.
Just realised father was John.

OK thank you, Jim.
The early suffolk records are difficult to find at the moment.

Just checked their marriage & no Death witnesses unfortunately.
