Title: Meadwell Family
Post by: pembsgal on Wednesday 26 March 14 13:22 GMT (UK)
Hi everyone
I am hoping someone could help, I am looking for the parents of Robert Meadwell, I believe he was born in 1806 in Easton, Northamptonshire.  I'm drawing a blank at the moment, and any help would be greatly appreciated :)
Thank you in anticipation!

All I've been able to find so far is ( what appears to be ) Robert's marriage:
Robert Meadwele=Elizabeth Day
8/12/1832 Easton.
I notice on the 1841 census there is an Elizabeth Meadwell aged 70 so possibly his mother.

I can't see a baptism for Robert but
the marriage is on Free Reg with witnesses James and Sarah Perkins
Could they be in some way related to the family?
In case you haven't got Robert's burial record that's also there on Free reg
Apologies if you already have it.

Looking at the censuses if it the Robert who was 35 (born 1806)
then jim1 has the correct marriage.

Elizabeth in later censuses say she was born in Bury St. Edmunds.

Robert lives until 1890, Elizabeth until 1892

I'm beginning to wonder if he's the illegitimate son of Elizabeth Meadwell.
