Hi Jessie,

What a star you are - can you tell me where the Burials and Marriages info came from?

Many thanks,  Ian

Hi Jessie,

"My" Joseph snr was born in Shadwell in Middlesex in 1797, I think his father was another Joseph and possibly his grandfather as well. On the Old Bailey website there is a report of a robbery from a Joseph and William Liford (Ropemakers) in the same area. Joseph born 1797 was a coachman, general dealer, and master tobaconist at various times of his life. I think the Joseph born Betchworth 1822 is the same Joseph born 1797 occupation Bricklayer, lived in Lambeth in 1871. I also think I have his death cert as I mistook him for my ancestor...

Cheers

Ian

Hi Jessie,

Me again, do you really mean Joseph born 1722 Betchworth and on the 1871 census - this would make him 149 years old...

The Joseph snr I have was born 1797 and died 5/8/1870, his wife ann died 11/3/1866.

What was/is confusing is that there is at least two Joseph Liffords born around the same time (see Ian C/Eysee's comments).

Hi Jessie,

Many thanks for the info, I'm not on my home computer at the moment (which has all my genealogy stuff on it), I'll check tonight to see if I have a place of birth for Joseph born 1797. I know the family did live in the London area later, Betchworth and Susanne Lifords tree may be a possibility...

Many thanks

Ian

Hi, I have been doing a bit on the Liffords, Joseph Lifford born 1817 in Carmarthen was the son of Joseph born 1797 and Ann born 1795 - 1797. I think Joseph senior's father was also Joseph, a ropemaker.

Has anyone got any more info on these Liffords, the youngest Joseph was my great, great, great grandfather.

Thanks, Ian

Hi, can anyone look at the Croydon 1851 census for me for George King aged 58, his wife Elizabeth 57, and children Jane 24 and Thomas aged 20. I have the reference 372b from the census name index. Thanks!
