Hi, I'm looking for any guidance on David Francis, wife Susannah (James).

David died in Clun, Shropshire in 1784 buried 20th January 1784 and also his wife on the same date -paupers. (I have this info from the Shropshire Family History Society transcripts)

They married on the 5th of February 1724 and as far as I am aware had five children
Elizabeth 1725
John 1731
Mary 1735
Susan 1740
Benjamin 1743 (My 6 times Grt Grandfather)

I want to know where he haled from, his wife Susannah was from the Mainstone Shropshire and baptised in 1702 so I'm thinking David was around the same age - with his death being in 1784 he would have been a big age then for those days so I don't feel that he would have been a great deal older that her.

If anyone has any ideas I would be extremely grateful.
Thank you.

Thankyou Ellie. Yes, I have seen the marriage although it his baptism I'm really interested in. There doesn't seem to be one in Clun, Shropshire for his age. But many thanks for your time. Joanne

You can't go by age stated.They have to be at least 21 or have permision from Father.There are ones born in surrounding areas.Try looking for one with Father John
