(ME=Maine)
several MURCH families on this page - including JOhn C.
Murch, master mariner age 62 and wife Jane H, age 50 both
born Maine
I suspect the following are his kids:
Hattie G 23 (m David Marshall) living with John and Jane in
1870, also kids
Hartford, 29 in 1870 with wife Clara & kids, he is a
mariner
Bryson, 36, in 1870 with wife and kids, he is fisherman
1860 census

MURCH JOHN C 52 M W ME ME HANCOCK TRENTON 1860
John C, 52 born Maine, with wife Jane. Living with them:
Anne and Mahala Anderson
David Marshall, 17 (the dude who later md Hattie who I
believe is the daughter Georgianne, age 13 below)
Georgianne Murch, 13
Looks like a possible brother William Murch, 57, living
next door with a wife and tons of kids
Also Bryson and wife and kids again, but now age 26
1850 census same place (Trenton,Hancock, Maine)
John C,
Jane, wife
Ann, 16 - probably the Anne Anderson in 1860 census
David, 6
Right next door is the Anderson family incl. a 19 yr old
boy whose name I can't read - Enoch? Jonathan? He is a good
candidate for Ann's future hubby...

Coffin plates often contain birth and death dates, and sometimes the place of birth or the occupation of a deceased person.
While not technically a true vital record, coffin plates can be seen as a substitute for vital records or at the least a good clue. In the case of people who died before civil registration it might be one of the few written records genealogists will find in their hunt for that brick wall ancestor!
If you want to know more about what things qualify as a true Vital Records there is a good article at the Olive Tree.
Remember when searching for Coffin Plates on the net they are sometimes referred to as Coffin Plaques, Casket plates or Casket Plaques.
