Hi Fellow Family Searchers.

I am trying to find out more about John Garfield B.1804 approx, and D.1874 approx.
He was my 3 x gt. grandfather. I have looked at all the census' from 1841 upwards. I think he married someone called Mary, and I believe he is from the Dodderhill area of Worcestershire.

His son George, and his son George, and his son Edward my grandfather is my family line.

I would like to see if anyone can find out anything previous the 1841 census or please give me some advice on the next steps I should take.

Thanks
Belinda.

You should be able to find accurate info about his death by looking on freebmd

There is no need to be unsure about that

When and where was his son George born?

As you have the census info, why are you so uncertain about everything?

You'll need Parish records to go further back.............at the County Records Office.
