I am trying to find details of this man, born c. 1776 in Plumstead. He married MERCY STANLEY on 18 Jun 1812 in St. Mary's, Lee, Kent. I have not been able to find any earlier details on his before the 1841 census when he is shown to be a policeman. I would very much appreciate to know if anybody has come across him in their research as I would dearly love to know his parentage and ancestry. With best wishes and kind regards to all, Helen

My replies direct to Helen on this are being rejected as spam, so I am trying again via the list: Hi Helen Are you sure you have the correct year for his birth? Only there was a Henry Milsted baptised in Plumstead on 22 Jan 17/86/, born 30 Dec 1785, with parents Jeremiah and Mercy Milsted. Jeremiah Milsted married Mercy Bodle in Plumstead on 30 Dec 1779. I couldn't see any Milsteds around 1776, & census and burial records suggest that Henry was born around 1786. If you have an Ancestry subscription you will be able to see these entries there.
