I am looking for George William Merrifield who was born in Flushing in 1843.On the 81 he's in Tranmere with wife Kate and children. Kate was born in 1849 in Flushing.He was in the Royal navy but I don't think he was at sea until 1873.Thanks.

Do you know who hes parents were as i can't find him on the 1871 and on the 61 there no George born for that year

this is the nearest on the 1861 George Merrifield abt 1845 Bristol, Gloucestershire, England Boy 2nd Class (Boy) Vessels Kent

Hi Julie--the only info I have is that his father was also called George but I have no dates.

Hi Shannette I think george is on the 1881 twice, 1 with his wife, and 1 on the ship George Merrifield Age: 38 Estimated birth year: abt 1843 Gender: Male Where born: Hashing, Cornwall, England Civil parish: Vessels County/Island: Cheshire Country: England Street address: 'h M S Defence' Condition as to marriage: Married Education: Employment status: View image Occupation: Gunners Mate Registration district: Wirral Sub-registration district: Eastham ED, institution, or vessel: Defence Neighbors: View others on page

That's interesting Julie and I'm sure you're right as his navy records show that he was on that ship in 1880 and 81. I love the mistranscription of Flushing!!!

thought it might have been that Berties middle name I've been looking for their marriage

I can't find him on any of the other census, do you have his wifes maiden name

Shannette I think this one has beaten me I can't find George on the census, nor his Marriage Can't find Kate either. Sorry
