Searching for ancestors of William Elbourn (1772 – 1850) who married Susannah Marshall 1794 in Stapleford, parents of Naomi Elbourn (1815 – 1891), who married Peter Dean (1824 – 1872) in Stapleford
I have Susannah Marshall’s (1773 – 1849) parents as John Marshall (1746 – 1813) and Rachel Squires (1755 – ) from Stapleford.
Any information will be greatly appreciated. Regards, Peter Dean, Toronto Island, Ontario

Hi
A possibility from familysearch
William Spencer Elborn
christened 11 November 1773
Cambridge, Cambridgeshire
father James Elborn
mother Elizabeth
source film number 1818408
Have you traced your Marshalls back prior to John & Rachel ?

You could try the FreeREG site. I had a quick look at the baptisms, and there are 6 children born to John and Elizabeth Elbourn between 1767 and 1778. Didn't see a William though.
regards.

Thanks for this, Rosie! It is definitely a possibility. I’m checking it out, even though I don’t have a James Elborn b. ~1745 in my tree. I did however find his marriage to Elizabeth Spencer 27 June 1769 P. St. Edwards, Cambridgeshire, England (Marriages at Curry Rivel, 1642 to 1812.)
I have several dozen Elbourns from the Little and Great Shelford area, but I have been unable to connect them to my line in Stapleford (possibly originating in Whittlesford).
…and yes, I have Marshals back to Robert Marshall, my 5th great grandfather, Birth abt 1720 in Cambridgeshire England. Death: ? Spouse: Mary Noble1720 – 1779
Peter
P.S. I have been unable to locate Curry Rivel – any thoughts?

Thank you Paco, for the tip. I’m searching now! I’ll let you know if I find anything!

Curry Rivel is in Somerset

Rachel Marshall was buried in Stapleford 24 April 1823 age 76 which would make her bn around the same time as John. When & where was John christened. :-\

Can't see that marriage in the Curry Rivel index. The church there is St Andrew. I think there must have been a transcribing error somewhere. A long way from Cambridge. Where did you find it?

Thanks sillgen, I found that one, but I’m interested in the reference in the Cambridgeshire Records that refers to (Marriages at Curry Rivel, 1642 to 1812.)

Not sure who you are referring to here Rosie. I have my GGG GM, Rachel (Squires) Marshall (b. ~1750 -) who married John Marshall who I have b. or. c. 29 Mar 1746 in Stapleford. At this point, I’m unable to locate my source.

Here’s the complete record and link from Ancestry – I’ve seen a similar reference several times
Cambridgeshire, England, Extracted Parish Records about James Elborn Elizabeth Spencer
Text: James Elborn, this p., & Elizabeth Spencer, p. St. Edward, lic. 29 Jun 1769
Book: Marriages at Curry Rivel, 1642 to 1812. (Marriage)
Collection: Cambridgeshire: - Registers of Marriages, 1538-1837

Ah, that is for a licence so maybe one of them was from Curry Rivel but they married in Cambs or vice versa?
-
I have now looked into this further and it seems to be a complete error in Ancestry that is repeated in various counties. Presumably someone pressed the wrong key and put in Curry Rivel for all of them. If you google "curry rivel cambridgeshire" you get a discussion on another forum where others have had similar problems with it cropping up out of the blue.
As the Curry Rivel index is online it is easy to see that the marriage was not there.
Hope that makes sense.
There is another thread that shows this problem too

I am suggesting that perhaps this is the burial of your Rachel bn c1847.

Yes, Rosie, I finally figured it out – thank you! What was your source?
Also, today, I got a Marshall reply on Ancestry’s Message Boards in which you might be interested:

How are you connected to the Marshall/Elbourn/Dean line?
Regards, Peter

Hi Peter
I am not connected to the Marshall/Elbourn/Dean that I know of. ::)
I was given some information on Stapleford PR's for Marshall's and variants as I have them in Little Shelford & Trumpington.

Thanks for the clarification, sillgen, it will save me a lot of time, not having to try and find a Curry Rivel in Cambridgeshire! http://www.rootschat.com/forum/Smileys/christmas/grin.gif
