HELP!!!
I am looking for any CREAMER's in Lavendon. I have James CREAMER, b. abt 1776 in Lavendon. I think his mother was Elizabeth CREAMER but I have no other information. The IGI shows Elizabeth CREAMER marr. Wm. WOODING abt. 1780 in Lavendon, and then her death in 1784.
James CREAMER was sent, by the Overseers of the Poor, as an apprentice tailor to Abraham SHARWOOD in Grendon. From there I have lost track of him until 1823 in Ecton when he married (maybe for the second time), Mary Ann RIVITT. There was a Mary CREAMER died in Ecton in 1822 and I have assumed she may have been his first wife - but maybe not.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi spurc...
Had a look for you today.
James baptism has no further details just mother Elizabeth Creamer.
However I cannot see a burial record to natch to Elizabeth Creamer or Wooding for the date given on IGI . This is member subitted and as such would need to be fully checked so I looked either side of 1784 but still could not see her.
It may be worth looking again when I go after the half term break (not visiting nextweek) and checking against BT for the village as there are some very shabby pages where the writing is hard too read at any definition.
Leave it with me and it's on my first of things to do when I go back.

Many thanks, Tazzie
I notice there were WOODING's in Turvey and surrounds. Perhaps Elizabeth died in one of the other villages in the area.
Could you tell me if there is any indication of Elizabeth CREAMER's parents in Lavendon PR's, please.
Perhaps she was born in Olney or Lavendon. And perhaps the family were non-conformists........
Many thanks for your time.

Okey dokey ...will hopefully have more time after half term as the re-furb will be finished and more readers back.

Hi Spurc.....
Finally found her burial ....
It was 1784 2 Dec .....Elizabeth Wooding wife of William. Pauper
1785 20 March Wm Wooding widow pauper.
The pages have been scanned in an about face order so all over the place found this listed with baptism pages.
I could not see her marriage but a Hannah Creamer marries there in 1780...not to a Wooding tho'.
As for Grendon...is that Grendon Underwood as I looked for anything Creamer up to 1823 but no luck.

Thank you very much, Tazzie.
Now I am trying to find out who Elizabeth's parents were.
Grendon is in Northants - not far from Lavendon (not Grendon Underwood).
I see Hannah CREAMER marr. Francis PARKER 28 Sep 1780. Possibly she was Elizabeth's sister???
Are there any other mentions of CREAMER in the Lavendon PR's?
Thank you once again. Spurc
