John Crees birth
« on: Wednesday 18 February 26 18:35 GMT (UK) »
I'm looking for the birth and parents of John Crees born about 1784/5.
He married Sidwell Braund nee Doidge in 1826 in Plymouth.
Children Charles John born 1827, Mary Jane born 1829 and Susanna Priscilla born 1836.
I have them in 1841 and he dies 1849.

I've searched but cannot find his birth. Any help  would be very much appreciated.

Just to add to this, he is in Stoke Damerel in 1841, 55 and born in County.  His occ looks like Sawyer.

Nicky, do you have his death certificate.  What was his age at death and occupation
