George Munk of Appledore, Kent, England


1722 burial record for 7th G-grandfather, George Munk, who died in November 1722.

 (click on image to enlarge)

This record not only gave his date of burial, but also stated his age at death of 45yrs which give us an approximate birth year of 1677 and that he was from the Heath.  It also gives his occupation of Carpenter. The extract viewed on a genealogy website only provided the Burial date and place.
It is also best to view the original record whenever possible to pull out the other details that might be on it.
