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.
