Notes:

Great Grandfather. I remember he had a large and very prickly moustache.
Roy says he failed in the fish business (lots of others in the family also in fish) and moved to Francis Road, London about 1914.

David married Florence Maud King on 4 Jan 1894 in Sudbury, Suffolk, England. Florence (daughter of Jonathan King and Susannah Willet Prior) was born on 9 Jan 1876 in Sudbury, Suffolk, England; died on 14 Feb 1971 in Streatham, Surrey, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She would have been only 18 when Ivy was born, and David would have
been 5 years older. I remember her - a tiny lady, always twinkling,
with a lovely scent I've always associated with her - lavender maybe, or 4711?

Notes:

Great Great Grandfather.
Grandfather was there in the 1881 Census aged 10

David married Harriett Lindsell on 17 Nov 1864 in Braintree, Essex, England. Harriett (daughter of William Lindsell and Jane French) was born on 1 Sep 1846 in Braintree, Essex, England; died on 24 Feb 1920 in Witham, Essex, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events:

• Occupation: Silk Winder

Notes:

In the 1911 census she said she had 14 children in 44 years of marriage, and 3 of them died

Other Events:

• Occupation: Bricklayer's Labourer after marriage
• Occupation: Weaver before and at his marriage

Jonathan married Susannah Willet Prior on 11 Nov 1860 in St Gregory's Church, Sudbury, Essex, England. Susannah (daughter of Samuel Prior and Rachel Willett) was born on 31 Dec 1840 in Halstead, Essex, England; died about 1908 in Gaol Lane, Sudbury, Suffolk, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events:

• Occupation: Hawker at his marriage.
• Occupation: Sugar Boiler in 1851 census

Notes:

He signed the marriage certificate, so he could write - Sarah used a cross.

In the 1841 Census it seems that David is a lodger with the Boosey family - note that William Lindsell (also a fruiterer) is lodging there too. David's son David married Harriet Lindsell. His age is given as 15 when he would have been 18, but it's the rounded down 1841 census.

In the 1851 Census there is only one David Boyton in the right place, with age correct for IGI christening date. And his wife is Sarah (though her birthplace is given as Shoreditch), and son David is the correct age.

David married Sarah Playle on 14 Jun 1844 in Bocking, Essex, England. Sarah (daughter of Jeremiah Playle and Hannah Peacock) was born on 9 Dec 1824 in Shoreditch, London, England; was christened on 22 Dec 1824 in St Leonards Church, Shoreditch, London, England; died on 13 Nov 1856 in Drury Lane, Braintree, Essex, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She used a cross, rather than sign the marriage certificate. Also on David's birth certificate.

In the 1851 Census her birthplace is given as Shoreditch, though everything else points to this being the correct family. I didn't find any Sarah Playles born in Shoreditch at the FRC, but this information from the IGI fits perfectly.

Other Events:

• Occupation: Fish Dealer at birth of daughter Harriett
• Occupation: Fruiterer at marriage

William married Jane French on 17 Nov 1842 in Braintree, Essex, England. Jane (daughter of Richard French and Elizabeth Mumford) was born on 1 Dec 1825 in Bardfield, Essex, England; was christened on 26 Mar 1826 in Finchingfield,Essex,England; died on 14 Apr 1867 in Braintree, Essex, England.
