I cant find a birth record for my gtx4 grandmother Hannah Feasey, can anyone help please? On 3 census returns her year of birth is given as 1800,1801 & 1803 and states Spalding as her place of birth. She married Wiiliam Bond in Holbeach 11 Jan 1832 and it appears she had an illegitmate son prior to her marriage.
Im looking for birth details including her parents names and any siblings. Thanks

the marriage is on Lincs to the past - put in Hannah feasey in search - click on marriages fiche page 106. however doesnt help with parents names - witnesses someone else. William was a widower.

Hi
I'm reviving this post as I'm still stuck! Can anyone help me find Hannah's birth record please? All I have is her marriage on Lincs to the past.
Thanks!

I don't think FEASEY is really a name. She marked + when she married so wouldn't have known what was written in the register. Her husband didn't sign either.
I think VEASEY is more likely, not that I can find a suitable candidate. :-\

Does not help with finding a bapt for Hannah but think the name is Feasy or similar.
There is a bapt that names John Hardy who is with family in 1841 as son of Hannah https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:J3QT-H2K

At Holbeach ... I wonder if the bap there of a Sarah VEASSEY in 1803 is a link to Hannah's family. :-\

Its a tough one! ??? There doesnt seem to be many names that could be close to FEASEY ::) VEASSEY is a good shout though, Ill look into it

Certain letters, particularly with accents and lack of literacy, often got muddle. F and V are definitely one that I've seen interchanged in spellings at times, F being "soft" and V being "hard" sounds that are very similar.

Please allow me to free a wild goose to chase (or is it a red herring?) ;)
The parents of the 1803 Sarah baptised were Michael and Sarah. Michael was not a common name in those days.
There was a 1798 baptism to VESSEY parents with those names just across the county boundary in 1798 in Wisbech, following a marriage there in 1797 (Sarah DOLBY).
Following the baptism of Sarah in March 1803, a Michael VESSEY was buried at Wisbech in June 1803. This could suggest two Michael VEASSEY/VESSEYs but on 20 Feb 1804 there was the marriage in Holbeach of a Sarah VESSEY (wid) to a John TAYLOR (wid). Could she have been Michael's widow?
All conjecture. The two towns are about 14 miles apart. :)

An interesting theory Geoff-E but Im not sure how this relates to Hannah? ;) I think its possible that Michael and Sarah could be her parents but am puzzled why I cant find a birth record for her? Could it be that she wasnt born in Spalding as she stated on several censuses? Could Hannah be a variation of her given name maybe?

I've found a small number of burials in Spalding, all in 1755.
22 Oct, Joseph FEASEY, son of David and Ann (infant)
28 Oct, David VEASEY (35)
16 Nov, John FEASEY, son of John and Elizabeth - baptism shown as VESEY
also a VEESEY baptism, Jonathan, son of David and Ann 1749
Nothing around 1800 though. :)

I had been looking at Jonathan Veasey but couldn't make a link to Hannah.
Of Deeping Fen, he appeared to have married Elizabeth Wyer in Bourne in 1789.
They had three children in Baston - Elizabeth in 1792, Mary Ann in 1800 and Jonathan in 1802
A Jonathan Veasey of Deeping Fen was buried in Spalding in 1804.
I wondered if Mary Ann may have been Hannah but there is a possible burial for her in Stamford in 1820.
