Title: Henry COE
Post by: Harleston on Thursday 12 January 06 00:22 GMT (UK)

I am trying to find the baptism of a Henry Coe, circa 1747. He later settled in South Elmham, Suffolk. I have searched many parishes in the surrounding area, including some in south Norfolk, but with no luck. If anyone can help, I would be very grateful.

Thanks for your interest, moonmom. It was good of you to look it up and post your findings.

The Henry Coe I'm researching moved to South Elmham from elsewhere. His marriage, as a widower, to Mary Elwin, in South Elmham St. Margaret in 1776, and the burial of a Mary Coe in 1774, are the first references of the name Coe in any South Elmham parish, or even surrounding parishes, that I've come across. Henry Coe must, therefore, have moved there from quite a number of parishes away, but just how far away, I have not been able to discover.

This is position I've reached, so I am still looking for a helping hand from anyone who may have come across a baptism of any Henry Coe at the right date (circa 1747), even if he was baptised a long way from South Elmham itself. It might give a lead which I can follow up with some more research.

Dear Leanne,

I'm afraid you may have a different Daniel Coe. Daniel the son of Henry Coe and Ann Banham, married a Mary Ann Chadwick on the 30th May 1841, Bradwell, Suffolk.

Regards,

Harleston

Dear Leanne,

The Daniel Coe who married Mary Ann Tapps, was a transported convict. His trial was held at Chelmsford Essex.
There is a Daniel Coe baptised 28th November 1812, the son of John and Elizabeth Coe, at St. Giles Great Maplestead Essex. Perhaps, this is the Daniel you are seeking.

Regards

Harleston

Hi Harleston,
Okay I am totally confuse now :(

If I am wrong please correct me. The Daniel COE who MARRIED Mary Ann TAPPS/HAPPS Looks like his mine ?? AND he was a transported convict & his  trial was held at Chelmsford Essex. BUT it looks like his parents who I thought were Henry COE & Ann BANHAM ARE NOT his PARENTS???.

Harleston, would it be okay if we corresponded via my personal email address, as I find that it might be easier for me, if not that is okay.

What would be the next step for me to go on with, I have asked for some help to from KEZIA in information that she also might be able to help me with :) so maybe with all of us, or I should really say with your help and Kezias:) you two might be able to shed/help me discover/parents/children/siblings??
Best Regards Leanne

The only Henry Coe I can find was born 1749 in Morningthorpe father James mother Elizabeth.
Any Help?

Thank you for the information. It would appear geographically, that the Henry Coe of Morningthorpe is a more likely candidate.
