Mercy was born in 1806. She passed away in 1856.
William & Mercy immigrated to Australia aboard the Westminster, arriving in Sydney Cove, New South Wales on 26 June 1838.[1]
Possible marriage: Mercy Clout who married William Hayward in Salehurst, Sussex on 31 October 1829.[3] They had the following children in Salehurst, Sussex:
There was another marriage that could be confused with this couple: Elizabeth Payne who married William Hayward in Salehurst, Sussex on 3 March 1832.[7] They had a son:
William Hayward, son of this profile, was age 5 at the time of immigration which would have him born in early 1833 so matching the Mercy Clout child. This is confirmed by his 1916 death registration.[10]
There was a Mercy Clout born in Sandhurst, Kent on 10 October 1806 to parents James & Mercy.[11] This is only 5 miles from Salehurst and would seem a likely match. Mercy Hayward is recorded as 31/33 years old on the 1838 immigration record which would match this birth record.
