Re: James Mansfield Gelling
In Response To: James Mansfield Gelling ()

one option might be to use Gore's directories of Liverpool to see if you can tie down when he was appointed customs official in Liverpool - Gelling is a reasonably common name but it might be worthwhile trying a few putative parents via IGI assuming he was actually born on Island and not in Liverpool

I would also guess you are missing at least one birth c.1830
and why the choice of Mansfield as a name ?
