  •  

  •  

  • This is not the Samuel Francis born 1791 and died 1864, he married Sarah Gooding and lived with a daughter Sarah 1841, 1851 & 1861 census. I am confident because he said he was born in Barking, not Willisham.

     

    I wonder if he seems absent because some of the Willisham parish records were lost when the manor house burnt down?
