William Platfoot was witness to Robert Maisey and Margaret Prestons marriage. Elizabeth Easter was the other witness. William Platfoot married Elizabeth Preston 1810, St Nicholas, Greater Yarmouth...a relative of margarets? There are two other marriage records for him but dont know if its the...

James Maisey born 1822 in Yarmouth Union Workhouse in 1881.

Isabella, also baptised in greater yarmouth, Jame's sister as was Rebecca...so is it possible Robert was baptised in greater yarmouth and not Leith? James Maisey is down as a Sailor on Isabella's baptism record but labourer on Rebecca's record

Just read this thanks. Will do some digging

I did see a record for Thomas Mayes in Ireland but can’t remember now when that was. Will look in a while

Wasn’t it john who was also baptised at st chads but Eliza Maisey was present

Not sure that’s him as he was a fish dealer/curer and journeyman but I saw that too but a possible. Thanks
