Hi All,
I would be very grateful for information from the Bocking or Braintree Parish Records on the following.
Arthur Smith born c. 1833 in Bocking.
Elizabeth Patten (Arthur's wife) born Bocking c. 1833. Elizabeth died in 1870 Bocking.
and their children
Arthur James Smith born c. 1853 in Bocking.
Fred Smith born c. 1863 in Bocking.
Amy Ann Smith born c. 1864 in Bocking.
I notice that there is a ten year gap between Arthur James and Fred, and wondered if there had been other children born who did not live long?

Hi CP,
Yet again you have come up with a vast amount of details....very much appreciated.
Now all I have to do is find out what happened to the three children.

does anyone know where I can find the records (or an index) to the Bocking Dissenters Burial Ground (or burial ground attached to the Bocking Meeting House) for 1770s to 1820 or so?
Can't find on IGI or National Burial Index.
