HEAL Moses born ca 1798 Camerton

[emm1473]

I am trying to find the parents of Moses Heal born ca 1798 in Camerton to trace the Heal family line further back.  I have Moses on the 1841, 51, 61 and 71 census and he died in 1879.  It appears Moses had 3 wives although I cannot confirm the first but the parish records state he was a widower when he married for the 2nd time.  He had 3 children by his 2nd wife Sarah Errey (William, Joseph and Frederick) and his 3rd wife was Esther Buck.

This looks the most likely candidate

but there's also this one in 1791

This could be Moses' first marriage

A Moses and Mary Heal baptised children at Camerton between 1819 and 1825 and a Mary Heale was buried in 1828. He was a plasterer, as was your Moses, so thee's a good chance they're the same person.

Brilliant - thanks David - I had found a marriage to Mary Green in 1819 but I couldn't find a death for Mary Heal

Moses' third marriage confirms his father was also Moses
