Jeremiah WINDATT, born ?1801
Jeremiah turns up in a few records as shown below but we don't know who his parents were. There is some further secondary source information available at World Connect courtesy of a BENDALL researcher.
Marriage
There are two possible marriages:
- He married Mary Ann HOSKINS in 1826 in Stoke Damarel,
and/or - He married Mary Ann BENDALL on 27 January 1834 in Lyncombe, Somerset. Witnesses were Geo.& Caroline Farmer.
It's possible that the first Mary Ann died and the second was a second wife. Whichever one she was then she probably died in Liverpool in the December quarter of 1881 aged 76 (GRO Ref 8b 100). Jeremiah is indexed as dying in Liverpool in the March quarter of 1886 aged 84 (GRO Ref 8b 77).
Service
He served in the Royal Navy from: 30 October 1824 to 13 October 1856, i.e. almost 32 years. According to the record he was 23 when he joined up which makes his date of birth 1801 or 1800. He made some sort of application to the RN (presumably for a pension) on D26 April 1855. File no.ADM 29/53/105
Census Transcription
Living at: 40 Argyle St, Liverpool, Lancashire, England in the same house as three other families (19 other people). Either side of 40 Argyle St were uninhabited houses - three on one side and six on the other.
