Hi
I am trying to find the burial record of James Pead, coachman of London.
He was married to Sarah Durdant on 25.03.1780 at St Luke Old Street, Finsbury.
I have deduced that he must have died between 1805 and 1807 because:
His son James's apprenticeship dated 21.05.1805 has 'son of James Pead, of Aldersgate Street, Coachman' however
His other son Robert George's apprenticeship dated 02.06.1807 has 'son of James Pead, of Aldersgate Street, Coachman deceased'
Also his wife Sarah took out an insurance policy dated 18.07.1810 and is described as widow.
I have searched and searched and can find no burial record. It is very important as burial records at this date generally record an age and this is needed to confirm which James Pead in Suffolk this guy is. I have reason to believe this as the 1795 Will of James Pead of Wenhaston cites his nephews James & William Pead coachmen of London.
Many years ago I was in contact with researchers into the Durdant Peads of London ( Sarah's maiden name was used as a middle name for many of James & Sarah's descendants but I lost trace of them and emigrated to Portugal.
If anyone has any information on a burial record I would be so grateful to know.
many thanks
John
