Hi Sorry no connection my George Richard Seager was born in Maidstone Kent. Re the Ratcliffe connection have you contacted the East of London Family history Society they are on line with a large collection of Sparkes and other listed . Also have you contacted the Bancroft Library which hold lots of Records. Bothof these have helped me Brian
