Hi there
My grandmother was called Hepzibah Prior born in Fulham in 1888, which I think is quite an unusual mame.Her father Samuel was born in Sudbury in 1859 and her mother Alice(nee Carter) came from the Rochford area. I just wonder if anyone else has a Hepzibah Prior in their tree because i feel she must have been named after someone.

Hi,
My Prior's come from Halstead Essex. They stayed there forever until the 20th century when they went on the move, so if you ever come across one, let me know!
Thanks

Thanks for to all who replied to my query on Hepzibah Prior.I feel sure that the Sudbury one must be a linkand will investigate. Any census info on her would be appreciated.
I know for sure that the Halstead and Sudbury Prors are linked as two of my ancestral grandfathrs were born in Halstead but were later in Sudbury as tailors. Their nam,es were Thomas Cooper Pror and his Father Samuel.
Thanks again

Hello kate
Thomas Cooper Prior was born in Halstead in 1835,married in Sudbury 3 times. First to my gggrandmother Mary Ann(neePiper).He was a tailor and died in 1872 age 37. Mary died in 1861 age 28. His father was Samuel married to ?. In 1861 Samuel was also in Sudbury with daughter Elizabeth 17 and son William 14 who were weavers. Samuel was a tailor too. I have only recently found the Halstead link so I dont know much. I have lots of info on Thomas though.

Hi Ringrose,
Thanks for the info. I haven't yet linked this Prior strand to my own in Halstead but I think it's only a matter of time and generations.

I have not come across the name Toppesfield before. Most of my Priors come from Sudbury Suffolk, Halstead Essex and later the Lambeth Fulham areas of London.The earlier lot were Tailors or connected with the silk trade.

I have a Mary Prior born abt 1868, Chelmsford, Essex.
Her parents were James & Mary Prior.
Mary married Arthur Fewell in 1888 in Bexleyheath, Kent.
I don't know anything else about James & Mary, if anyone has any info where they came from, I would appreciate it.
Thanks
