Witshire family from Wilshire

If the above obit is your William, knowing that he was a brickmaker may help in locating the family. The earliest map of the area (that I can see, others may be able to source earlier ones) is from 1884. Unfortunately it shows 2 brickworks, and being 60 years after William's death there's no guarantee either of them are his.

Thanks so much for that information.The death date of his son definitely adds up as July 1825. Sorry about closing my feed. Once again new to this sort of thing!! I totally appreciate any snippets of infirmation I receive.
