Title: Faichen
Post by: googiew on Wednesday 11 February 09 13:36 GMT (UK)

I am looking for information on the following:

Ann Faichen b1780 in Fratton married James Barnett and her father was Samuel Faichen.
Samuel Faichen b1760 is possibly my 7grandfather

Many thanks
Derek

I can find several Faichen baptisms, but not for an Ann with a father Samuel.  The only Fratton that I know is part of Portsmouth.  The baptisms I have found are in Froyle, Medstead, and Alton.  :-\

Where did the information come from?  Is is reliable?

I am directly related to William Faichen who was born in 1780/90 ish. I believe his father was a publican in Portsmouth. According to the book 'The Annals of Old ropley" (you can Google it as it is on the net) He ran away from his father's pub in Portsmouth. I believe samuel ran a pub in Medstead before going to Portsmaouth, and there are Faichen baptisms in that church - but not for my William ( not sure about your Ann).
It may be worth looking at them to see if she is there.
Hope this helps
Alice
