1891-1901 Census Lookup for Merryfield

Post by Acorna »

Hi All

I'm looking for the following family in 1891/1901

William Henry MERRYFIELD b Plymouth 1867
Alice Janet MERRYFIELD (nee GODCHILD) b Gosport 1867 (Died 1906 Southampton, Hants)
Alfred William E MERRYFIELD b Alverstoke 1888 (Died 1895 S Stoneham, Hants)
Rose Alice E MERRYFIELD b Alvestoke 1890

William & Alice married 21 Oct 1887 Alverstoke

I have seen Williams WW1 Records which say he was a Superior Mason and had 21 years service in Royal Engineers when he (re)joined in 1914.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards
Ray
