George Heath...

Dear Listers

I'm trying to find out more about GEORGE HEATH who I believe was born 1814 in Bigbury, Devon.

I think he married Martha and they had a son William who was born in 1848 and died in 1913 in Devonport (Plymouth)

Can you help me:

1. find out when George died?
2. The date of his marriage to Martha (and her maiden name - believe she died 1855 in Plymouth)
3. whether the census records identify any other children?

Thanks in advance listers

there are 4 males on the page but only 3 females none named martha
so i did a search putting in the qtr the year and the reg dist and first name martha
i then got up martha grute(the page for her entry was wrong but when you looked at the actual image it matched george's

living at;3,morley place,plymouth,devon

george's entry is right at the bottom of the page the next page at the top is 6,morley place
with a rosina tratham she has been transcribed as wife of george
this is obviously wrong there is obviously 1 or 2 pages missing
so i cannot see if any of the children are with him without going through all the pages
if you bear with us i will have a look
