County: Essex; Place: Little Clacton; Church name: St James; Register type: Parish Register; Burial date: 30 Apr 1774; Burial person forename: John; Burial person surname: SPARLING

FreeREG record page (Helen Barrell transcription), fetched 2026-09-19. The register gives no age or parentage; a burial date, not a death date. Replaces the tree's uncited 30 Apr 1794 (same day and month). Why this John: (1) the only other John Sparling burial in the parish is 10 Apr 1755, matching #15803 (below); (2) Elizabeth SPARLING, 'widow' of this parish, married Edward GOODWIN (widower) on 21 Sep 1775, 16 months later, and #15805's only known wife Elizabeth Smith bore her last child Elizabeth in Sep 1771; (3) no Sparling burial of any John exists in 1794 in the Little Clacton transcription.
