Hi Jenny,

If the Jonas Samuel Virgo b abt 1854 in Blakeney and married Janet Harding is the one you’re looking for, could you please contact me.
I have quite a bit of info on the family, not to mention quite a bit still behind the usual brick wall so we may be able to assist each other.

Many thanks,

Regards,
Graeme

Thank you for your efforts slowhands.
Unfortunately this birth entry belongs to another family.
I think Jonah Samuel was born about about 1854 which is consistent with all but one of the census as well as the age on his marriage certificates.

Jonah Samuel Virgo 1850's - after 1910

Jenny — Tue, 27 May 2008 05:17:50 +0000

Can anyone please help me find, or suggest a way of finding a record of baptism or burial for Jonah (Jonas) Samuel Virgo known as Samuel or Sam in the 1861-1901 Census.
The 1861 census suggests he was born in 1854 to James and Charlotte and I can find him in every census where he remained in the Blakeney/Awre region as a coalminer.
I have both marriage certificates, as well as death certificates for both wives so know he was still alive in 1910.
Despite finding baptisms for the rest of his family on this site, his year of birth and death remain a mystery to me.
Regards,
Jenny
