Of course, I started out hoping to find more about John Neale, drowned in Laguna, Mexico. Laguna seems to be a landlocked province of Mexico, with a large number of lakes. Although there are records from Mexico on Ancestry, I could find no reference to John Neale’s death.
Lancashire OnLine Parish Clerk
According to Lancashire OnLine Parish Clerk, William Neale, son of Henry Neale, was baptised in Urswick 13 April 1782.
Marriage Bond No. 4602 (Ancestry) signed by Rev. Sunderland and dated 9 January 1812, says that William Neale, aged 29, of Bardsea, Mariner, intends to marry Agnes Crowdson, aged 23 years, of Greenslack, Kirkby Ireleth in the parish Church of Broughton (in-Furness). The marriage took place of 19th January. Agnes Croudson (sic), of Greenslack, parents William & Margaret Croudson, was baptised in that church on 22 March 1788. (Lancashire OnLine Parish Clerk)
From the Lancashire OnLine Parish Clerk source comes the following:
Henry Neale, baptised 2 November 1812. Born 19 October. Son of William Neale and Agnes. William is identified as a Mariner.
Margaret, baptised 3 July 1814.
William, baptised 13 February 1816.
John, baptised 6 September 1817.
Richard, baptised 26 May 1819.
Thomas, baptised 24 November 1820.
William Neale must have made money from being a Mariner, since by 1832 he has the vote due to owning freehold land in Much Urswick. (Ancestry, Electoral Register for Lancashire).
