69 or 49

There's a baptism for an Isaac Kerby 18 Aug 1745, Gloucester.Parents Jacob and Elizabeth.

Also one dated 18 Aug 1746. Same place and parents. This one is damaged so one might be the BT and /one of them/ is wrongly dated

Thanks Gadget - yes I am aware of that one but I trawled through all of the births for children of Jacob and Elizabeth in that parish and there isn`t a Martha.  There is a William but born in 1754 so not likely to be the chap we have been looking at here.  Several of the children also have the middle name Price - presumably the mother`s maiden name and that doesn`t appear anywhere else in our family.  Several of our family have the middle name "Blanch" so I presume that at some point a Kerby married a Blanch

Our ancestor Isaac Kerby lived at Barclay Court which is where this chap died

Is your ancestor's father's name William ?

add:

The Isaac in the 1851 (b.c. 1872 and living Barclay Court), seems to have been bpt Clerkenwell  5 May 1771, Parents were Isaac and Sarah. Was he the Isaac Blanch who died in 1851?  Also, was the father, Isaac, the one buried in 1810? 

You seem to have a lot of Kerbys in Barclay Court.  Land Tax, Apprenticeship fees.

You've probably got all these though.

We are definitely descended from the Isaac who died in 1810 (who married Sarah Rosser).  Isaac Blanch Kerby is one of his sons.  We descend from another son, Benjamin.
I haven`t been able to find out who Isaac`s father was.  I found this burial record for William by accident really and feel he must be related because he was at Barclay Court but I can`t find out how.

We'll agree to differ, Arthur. The majority on the thread see it as 69 

The figure is disguised by a very large smudge. As I said earlier, we need other information to decide.  The  date of death - 69 or 49 - would give possible date of birth info. Then search for marriage and baptisms/births of offspring, for example. I think that's we've all done in our own research.   

I wouldn't accept this document as the only confirmation of one date or another.


Add -  b.c 1725 or 1745  if buried Dec 1794
