    3. This is my first query. I have the above Peter Sherwood's marriage to Jane Spencer at St Martin inthe Fields in 1799 and would like to know how to get details of his death/burial and possible will, probably in Lambeth. In 1820 his bricklaying business was changed into his wife Jane's name in the London directories. I believe he had been in the business with his brother Richard. Peter and Jane's family consisted of William b 1801, Bailey 1802, Newman 1806, Peter 1806. Bailey b 1802 is my ancestor, his son Charles came to Australia in 1862. Peter and Jane's marriage was witnessed by a Sarah Newman and Newman recurs within the family but I found no link on the IGI. We believe Peter and Richard's parents were James Sherwood and Anne Bailey married 18/10/1763 at Baldock Herts. James was a bricklayer. It would be fantastic to find Peter, Jane or any of their family had a tombstone. Bailey's children were baptised at St John the Evangelist, Lambeth. Bailey possibly went to Margate in later years, his wife Ann died there c 1891. Any suggestions or comments greatly appreciated. Lorraine nee Sherwood Nth Queeensland
