Look up please for Carey family baptisms in Lawford Essex 1844 -1858. Also Carey family baptisms Clacton Essex 1810 -1822
-
You could search the free bmd for the years 1844 - 1858.
1810 - 1822 would be covered by the IGI but you would need christian names otherwise you cannot search just the years you require.

Hi
I am going to the Essex Records Office next Tuesday and will be delving into the Lawford Parish Records there as I have a family interest in Lawford (Aylward). The time span you mention is not that huge and records for the period will be very readable on the microfiches. If you can give me some more detail rather than just the surname 'Carey' I may be able to help?

Thank you for your reply. I do infact have 8 children born then to Thomas and Mary Carey. It is really the father Thomas's christening I would like to know more of if possible, he was born c1818 in Clacton to James, there is also a James Carey born c1813, William Carey born c1815 and John Carey born c1820 all in Clacton and I hope that they may all be related but without the parish records I am unable to prove it, also I do not know the mothers name.
Thomas married Mary in 1842 at Lawford parish church, I have the cert.
James marriage to Ann Day was registered in Tendring Dec qtr 1837 and Johns marriage to Mary Ann Banbury or Durrant was registered Tendring Dec qtr 1840, these may have been at Lawford parish church. If you can help in anyway I would appreciate it.

Hi
I'll print off the information you have given and take it with me. The Lawford weddings will be easy to look for as you have given the quarter they were married in. Lawford only has one church (St. Mary's) but of course Tendering would have covered other parishes. If time I will look at Clacton as you have narrowed the period time down to a 7 year spell. Hopefully there may just be one parish church to look at and more importantly the microfiches will be readable for that period! Will be in touch.
Regards
Deborah

Thank you, I notice some Aylwards lived in Wignall Street the same as my Carey's.

Hi
Yes they are my Aylwards! My connection is with a William & Hannah Aylward and their family. I believe on the Census of 1841 there is a John & Mary Aylward and I think they were William's parents but I have been able to source that yet - hence another visit to the ERO!
Regards.
Deborah.

William and Hannah lived next door to John Kerry/Carey on the 1851, small world.

Hello Valerie
As promised I visited the ERO today. Unfortunately the baptismal records for Clacton are only available on microfiche from the early 1900s forward so I couldn't look for your Carey 1800 baptisms. I'm not sure where the earlier records are, you could always email the ERO and they would be able to help I'm sure.
As to Lawford Weddings; I found the wedding easily of James Carey. He married at St. Mary's Church, Lawford on 29 Oct 1837. However, his surname was clearly recorded as KERRY obviously a Rector who couldn't spell followed by the bride and groom who were (of their time) illiterate. James married Ann DAY of Manningtree. James was a labourer and both were of full age i.e. over 21 when they married. James' father was another James KERRY (a gardener) and Ann's father was a Benjamin DAY (carpenter).
I couldn't find the marriage of John Carey at St. Mary's for the quarter and year given (Dec 1840). I couldn't see them in the BANNS either which was unfortunate because that would have given me the parish of his spouse if she didn't hail from Lawford. Obviously Tendering covered churches in Mistley and Manningtree and I'm not sure where else? As it is 1840 you can easily order a copy of the MC from the ONS for £7 that would give you the info you need.
Sorry there is not greater detail here but if you need any more info from Essex parishes just let me know - I'm sure I'll be back there again in the not too distant future.

Many thanks for your help, James father James a gardener is the same as my Thomas so that is a start. I have no other questions for the moment as I have had no free time recently. I live in Merseyside so if I can help in any way please let me know.
Bye for now Valerie

Hi Deborah, another look up if possible. Marriage of Henry Day and Jane Kerry registered Tendring June qtr 1857 Jane was from Lawford and Henry from Manningtree so hopefully it will be Lawford church.
Bye for now Valerie

Hi Valerie
I have read your request. Of course when next at the ERO I could look for this one and the records are very good for this period. However, it may not be for awhile that I get the time to go back. My mum is 82 and in hospital at present so that along with life in general will not allow me the luxury of indulging in my hobby!
However, I'll keep a note of this one.
Deborah.

Sorry to hear about your Mum, I was fortunate to have my Mum for 91 years and it was her family knowledge that helped we so much in the family tree.
You only mention the ERO do you not have libraries with film or fiche of the Essex records. I have a local library and the City centre so I am fortunate for my Merseyside records.
Bye for now Valerie

Hi
Thank you. My mum is now at home but feeling a little 'vunerable' which is understandable. Like you it was my mum's knowledge of her mum's family that go me started on the family tree, however, the Lawford connection is via my dad's mother. She lived to 99 and a half dying in 2001 but unfortunately I did not begin to look into the family until 2006. Can you imagine the information that I could have asked her especially as her mind was 'sharp' until the very end.
Our libraries do not hold Essex parish records they are all on film or fiche at the ERO. Luckily for me the ERO is in Chelmsford and I can easily get there when time allows. I'll take your request with me when I go.
Bye for now, Deborah.

Hi Deborah.
Re marriage of John Kerry to Mary Ann Durrant or Banbury she was from Manningtree so that maybe where the marriage was, I think it is probably Durrant as there was very few Banbury in Essex.
Re Henry Day and Jane Carey/Kerry I hope that the father is William a farm labourer.
I may have a break through as I have found details on the 1841 that fit in with my family but the name is shown as Herry so I will check it at the library tomorrow.
By for now Valerie

Hi Deborah,
Hope is all well with you. I am still working on the Careys and as I have not heard from you I assume you have been unable to get to Chelmsford. I did contact the RO and they did a quick check on Clacton baptisms but were unable to find anything. If you are able to check the marriages I quoted I would be grateful but if it is inconvenient please let me know and I will post the details again as someone else maybe able to help.
Bye for now Valerie

Hi Valerie
Your guess is correct - I have not been back to the ERO since 19 Aug -unfortunately. The combination of my mum currently residing in a hotel (whilst building work is being compeleted on her bungalow), a 17 year old son completing his UCAS application, a 16 year old son applying for colleges and a 13 year old daughter who sees me as her personal taxi service is leaving very little time to indulge in my hobby! I will visit the ERO at sometime before the end of the year but please do post again - many hands make light work!
I will keep in touch.
Regards Deborah.
