Hello, I am trying to find out more info on a HENRY PARKER poss born 1774-1777 not sure of date. He married an ELIZABETH then moved to RAMSEY, they had 3 boys that I am certain of Thomas, William and John all boys baptised in Ramsey. 1841 census ages them both at 60 (always rounded +/-)but in 1851 Henry is aged 77, I believe that Elizabeth died in 1845 aged 72 and is buried at Ramsey.
