I'm looking for the birth and parents of John Crees born about 1784/5.
He married Sidwell Braund nee Doidge in 1826 in Plymouth.
Children Charles John born 1827, Mary Jane born 1829 and Susanna Priscilla born 1836.
I have them in 1841 and he dies 1849.
I've searched but cannot find his birth. Any help would be very much appreciated.
