Excellent info. Perhaps he relocated for some time, or perhaps the record I assume for Charles Mouncey being born in Sheffield is not accurate?

Hi June, I do apologise. I have since done some tracing of Charles Mouncey, and Charles' parents are definitely not John MOUNCEY and Ruth WAINWRIGHT of Sheffield [as I have found all their children], and this (following) which I assumed, is not the Charles who went to the Cape...
Last Name: Mouncey
First Name: Charles
17 Mar 1776
C007757
Cathedral St Peter
Sheffield
Yorkshire

Charles does appear to be the son of Isaac MOUNSEY/MOUNCEY and Elizabeth GRAVES (here is a link) http://www.barfootp.freeserve.co.uk/html/m2h53.htm#1474 and another person has matched him exactly. http://www.southafricansettlers.com/?p=1263

Date of Birth: chr. 8 Sep 1777
Place of Birth: Dacre, Cumberland, England
Parents – Father: Isaac Mouncey
Parents – Mother: Elizabeth

The birthdate matches his death date exactly to the year if you work it out exactly from his death in the Grahamstown Journal I am doing some further delving and trying to find a link between MOUNSEY Cumberland and MOUNCEY Sheffield.

Regards, Caroline

Hi once again June. I was just looking for any more info on Charles Mouncey and thought I would look up Eccles O Barlow, as the preacher William Myles wrote that is where Charles lived in 1808 at the birth of James. I thought it quite amusing that Eccles O Barlow turns out to the Ecclesall-Bierlow. Just shows how things can get distorted. Preacher Myles obviously wrote down what he thought he heard!
Cheers, Caroline

Hi Caroline - I missed this as I have been away for a couple of months, and am away for a few days again now so will catch up on this when I get home again!
