I wonder if some kind person could look up the following ancestors of mine? The details I have are as follows:
William Merritt (born abt 1799 - possibly Waltham Abbey) married Mary (born abt 1800 - possibly Waltham Abbey) around 1823 at Eastwood?. They have the following children (at least):
Sarah Merritt - born abt 1824 Eastwood, Essex
Emma Merritt - born abt 1829 Waltham Abbey?
William Merritt - born abt 1831 Waltham Abbey?
Eliza Merritt - born abt 1834 Waltham Abbey?
They appear on the 1841 census in Rayleigh, Eastwood, Essex and list the above birthplaces.
Sarah is my 2nd great grandmother and married Frederick Dann in 1849 in London. On the 1851 census she is with her husband and lists her birthplace as Eastwood.
Any help would be wonderful as I live in Australia and it is difficult being so far from the records.
