I'm helping my cousin with her family research.
We're trying to confirm the parents of her great x2 grandfather John Merrett (various spellings!).
I've narrowed his birth down to two possibles - both born Shipley district West Sussex Jun qtr 1840 (although only one appears on FreeBMD) One the son of John & Phyllis and the other the son of John & Mary.
I've found John, Phyllis and baby John on the 1841 census living in Shipley. I think I've found John & Mary living in Brightling (now East Sussex), but no baby John. Could he have died, is there a record of this on the NBI?
I can only find one John Merrett born Shipley c1840 on subsequent census returns, which does suggest John & Mary's did die in infancy...
Thanks for your help.
