John Death

Post by gillrattray »

I am replying to Andrew Ross' comments re John Death under Wormingford workhouse. I have been researching this family for many years as I believe John's brother was William my GGG Grandfather. I agree with all the facts Andrew has made. I have both William and Sarah Fowler dying within 3 months of each other in 1858. It was their daughter Sarah who married John Death 16th July 1841 at Holy Trinity church Colchester. John was deported on the Pyrenees on the 30th March 1851.
