Interesting - it doesn't seem to be a common name combination. I wondered if he died on board a ship that docked at Southampton, but fmp isn't helping me with that search!

I agree with you about the census records.

The next child is Ann Maynard, but I know a lot about her, so, the next is

David Maynard jr

b Whittlesford Cambs 1827

d Sept 1850, Lake Michigan USA (only source is below)

Info from letters:

David worked on a farm, but was to die in a storm on Lake Michigan in Sept 1850 whilst working as a waiter on board the steamer "SS Canada". He was attempting to save furniture from the galley after the floor planks had been ripped away by the storm. Standing on a bench, he tried to retrieve articles from the wall when the ship was hit by a wave and he was thrown into the lake and disappeared. His sister, Ann, lamented the fact that he drank heavily, but there is no suggestion in the letters that he was drunk at the time of the accident.

Is Thos Lete the same person as Thomas Ashcroft, do you know? Age 27 in 1850, cabinet maker, born England.
I think it must be him.

1870 census Deborah is still living with him and his family.

1910 census he is Thomas T Leete b England 1824 and emigrated in 1834.
