Matthew SPURRELL
Set As Default Person -
Name Matthew SPURRELL Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Baptised 31 Oct 1754 St. Peter’s Church, Meavy, Devon, England
- From PR entry (image on FMP, viweed 29 Aug 2012):
(under 1754) "Matthew the son of Thoms. Spurwel & Mary his wife was baptiz'd October the 31st"
Gender Male Died 25 Nov 1823 Clowance Street, Devonport, Devon, England
- Of Clowance Street when he died - I am guessing he died at home.
His death was reported in the "Exeter Flying Post" of Thursday 11 December 1823:
"On Tuesday, the 25th ult. Mr. Matthew Spurrell, of Clowance-street, aged 69."
Matthew would have known where he lived as in "Plymouth Dock" rather than Devonport, but the name Devonport was probably familiar to him. It was in the year of his death the king was petitioned that the name be changed to Devonport - and agreed
Buried 30 Nov 1823 The Parish Church, Stoke Damerel, Devon, England

(Age ~ 70 years) Married 22 Feb 1792 The Parish Church, Stoke Damerel, Devon, England
- Most Stoke Damerel records I have from what is on FMP. For some reason they don't have the vast majority of baptisms for that Parish, 1791-1800; hence I think I am missing several of Matthew and Catherine's children.
