Unfortunately the Murfitt family is kind of a mystery. All i've got is Thomas Murfit marrying Sarah Gotobed on 4th Jan 1796 at Ely Holy Trinity - both single and illiterate. I've then found four children - my Elizabeth, bpt 16th July 1798; Isaac, bpt 5th April 1796 - both at Ely Holy Trinity. Then there's Sarah bpt 28th Feb 1801 and Thomas bpt 8th May 1803 - both at Ely St Mary. Hope this helps... I believe that there were Murfitt/Murfit families at Stretham and Little Downham too.

I think the Murfitt part might connect with your Murfitts - we have never managed to connect to any other recently-researched Murfitts, a Paul Murfitt made a very thorough study about 35 years ago but we weren't part of of his clan either. Have you any more info about your Murfitts?
