Notes for John Weatherall
Note that in the marriage record found for John Weatherall and Grace Neale John was said to be ‘of Chatham in the County of Kent’.  All their children were baptised in Chatham.  It is looking hightly probable that the right marriage has been found.
_________________

My strong positive guess is that this burial, of the many John Weatherall burials between 1760 and 1807, is his:

First name(s) John
Last name Weatherall
Birth year -
Death year 1795
Burial year 1795
Burial date 19 Oct 1795
Church St Mary
Denomination Anglican
Place Chatham
County Kent
Country England
Record set National Burial Index For England & Wales

This is the same church that his wife was later buried in.
________________

His MI at St Anne’s Chatham rec ords that he was 71 at death, thus born in 1724 but there are too many John Weatherall (and similar) baptisms to identify his.
________________
