c. 1783 according to age at death
Possibly St George Hanover Square Westminster as this was his PoS but more likely Derby/Leics/Notts as this is where the surnames BACON & GREENSMITH (given as a middle name to all his daughters) seem most common. In addition his 2nd child Mary Ann c. 1815 is not born in county in 1841 & twice has a birthplace Notts & once Leics.
