I am am currently transcribing the church records for St. Peter's, Sible Hedingham, Essex which I will be posting online in due course. In the meantime, if anyone is researching their family tree in this village, I may be able to provide information.
Records for Castle Hedingham have previously been posted online by someone else and I have previously posted those for Takeley and Little Canfield.

Many thanks Laurie, I'm sure it will be of great help to many, I don't have any look ups in Sible Hedingham currently but I have found your Takeley transcripts of tremendous help on many occasions.
Although I don't have any Sible Hedingham look ups currently, who knows what a browse might turn up, so I'll be looking forward to a browse when they are completed, if that will be possible.
Regards.

Hi Laurie,
Have you come across the Houghton surname in any of those place please?
-

Hi Laurie

Many thanks

Hi Laurie, are you transcribing for FreeREG?
I'm transcribing Burnham on Crouch records at the moment, so if anyone has any names they'd like me to keep an eye out for, let me know :)

Hi Laurie. That's a great job you're doing. I am looking for a birth record for Alice Mary Broyd who was born in 1887. Census records show that she was born in Gestingthorpe but I have been to the church and they have no record of her birth. By the 1891 census, she was living in Sible Hedingham so I wonder whether her birth was registered there or maybe she was baptised there. If you come across her, I'd love to know. There were many Broyds in Sible Hedingham but most are unrelated to my Gestingthorpe branch.
Keep up the good work!

How far back do the records go that you are transcribing? I am looking for any documents pertaining to my 11th gr Grandfather Sir Edwin Rawlings b 1568 in Castle Hedingham or his father Arthur Rawlinge b 1544 also born in Castle Hedingham. Thanks
-
No Edward Rawlins baptised at castle hedingham around that time. Records start in 1558.
-
@suea
Found her parents' marriage gestingthorpe 30 March 1877 but sadly baptism records only go up to 1847 online 😞
-
How about a Gregory Rawlings b abt 1591 or Mary Rawlings/Jordan b abt 1600? Thanks again for looking this up.
-
@suea There are children being buried there in the 1880s, so would have been baptisms. There is a John Broyd who married there is 1772. His father was Joseph, whereas your Alice Mary's grandfather was Saunders Broyd. Later, Charles says he's born in wickham St. Paul. Found lots of children baptised to Saunders and Susan, but strangely, not Charles??
Ed will just have a look.
-
Nope. No Gregory or Mary at castle hedingham. There are children of a John Raulin being baptised there 1590s?
-
On a side note, I have a Frederick Cullens B 1765 d to an Elizabeth Wimberly here in North Carolina in my family tree. Did any of your Cullens imigrate to Jamestown in the 1600's? I have done extensive research on some of my family lines here in that has shown that many of my current neighbors and relatives have been neighbors for many generations. Families like the Rawlings, Goodwin's, Avent's, Ragland's, Cotton's, Cullens and Cross's all immigrated to Jamestown together in 1626 and moved here to North Carolina immediately following the Revolutionary War. Where most of us remain to this day.

John Raulin was Arthur Rawlinge's father. The name seems to be spelled many different ways, I have found it spelled differently depending on the pronunciation at the time. In one case I had to do a DNA test to confirm that it was the same family. What are the childrens names?
Ed
-
I also have a John Rawling/Raulin Son of Arthur Rawling born 1571 in Yorkshire, however I have no other information on him including who he married or where he lived. This would be a closer match since the elder John Raulin would have been 90 at the time the children were being babtised.

Re: Cullen ... No idea I'm afraid.
John Raulin m ales pollye 26/1/1578

The Rawlings family is Norman. And family history states that we came to England with William the Conqueror in 1066, which is what I am trying to determine as true or not with the family tree. And Rawlings in French is Raul the name is of early medieval English origin, and is one of the patronymic forms of the surname Rawling, developed from the Middle English given name "Rawlin". The personal name was adopted from the Old French "Raulin", itself a double diminutive of "Raw", with the Anglo-Norman French suffixes "-el" and "-in". Raw was one of the many variant forms of the male personal name Ralph, in origin an Old Norse name composed of the Germanic elements "rad", counsel, advice, with "wolf", wolf. Raulin is one of the many names that the Normans brought with them in 1066. The name Raulin came from the Norman given name Ralph. This name which also occurs as Ralf, Rolf, and Raoul is adopted from the old French given name Raol. So to think that I might have finally found a connection to the earlier spelling of the name is very exciting!

Do you have any other information on any other Raulin's in the records? You have no idea how much I love you for doing this. I have been trying to trace this family for a long time with no luck and now I know why. I used the wrong spelling of the name.
Ed

John's son Robert married a Susan who died 10/2/1615.
Emanuel married a Margery who died 16/11/1625. Emanuel died 6/6/1624. Their son infant John died 1/1/1616.
Let me know what else you want. Can check marriages and baptisms. Got to burials 1625, but it's midnight here and I have a class of eight year olds to face tomorrow, so should probably stop here for a bit!
Will check in here tomorrow evening 😴

Its been awhile since I was across the pond and I forgot about the time difference. Go get some sleep. thank. Ed

Lol.

Is that all you have on the Raulins family? Now I am beginning to wonder if the church had spelled SiR Edwin Rawlings as Raulins as well. Do you have anything on the VanMeter family? More specifically I am looking for a marriage between Rebecca VanMeter born about 1577 and Sir Edwin Rawlings/Raulins. And a marriage between Arthur Rawlings/Raulin born abt 1544 and Izabell Bothomly born abt 1548. I am pretty sure that marriage took place in 1569 in Yorkshire, but their may be other church records for their childrens baptisms as well. Thanks. Ed
-
You'd have to post on the Yorkshire board for that. I only have access to the Essex records.
-
I have some of the Yorkshire records where she is from, I was just wondering if there were any church records in Essex where the males are from and where their children would have been born.
I am very good at finding records here in the US because I know where and how to look. In the UK records are very different and not as many are accessible online. I really wish I knew where and how to get some of these records. For instance, Sir Edwin had a knighthood. There must be records of how, when, where, and by whom he was given that knighthood. But I have no clue how to obtain them. Ed
-
Ha. The Irish records are even harder to come across!
The castle hedingham parish records only go back to 1558. Will have a hunt around surrounding parishes and see what comes up.
-
I really appreciate the help. By the way, some records here in the US are hard to find as well and some have long since been destroyed thanks to a little military incursion in 1812 by a certain unnamed country. And a certain hated northern civil war general who made it his goal to burn the entire southern US to the ground. All of this is further complicated by the addition of new counties created from older larger counties along with county lines being redrawn after the civil war. For instance my family has lived on the same piece of land my 5th gr grandfather received in a land grant for his service in the Revolution in 1790. All of our old family and land records are in Chatham County NC. But now most of our land is now in Harnett County and some of it in neighboring Wake County with a tiny sliver of it still remaining in Chatham County. And we haven't moved in 226 years! LOL

I have found some marriages of the children of John Raulin and ales.
Robert m Susanne Newman 26/7/1607 (she died 10/2/1615) daughter Susan baptised 19/4/1612
Emanuel (buried 6/6/1624) m Margery (who died 16/11/1625)
Children: John buried 1/1/1616, John baptised 21/12/1619, Mary 5/1/1622
James m Ann holgatte 31/7/1627
Children: James 13/4/1628, Ann 23/8/1629, John 6/2/1630, Thomas 25/11/1632, soloman 18/11/1634, Samuel 27/12/1638, Daniel 27/12/1638, Sarah 18/10/1641 - 18/11/1641, Mary 20/4/1643, Benjamin 9/3/1644 - 24/2/1646. Ann the wife seems to have been buried 17/2/1644, so James must have remarried but didn't see a marriage at castle hedingham.

Thank you so much. Any ideas on where to look for records of Sir Edwin, his father Arthur, or his grandfather john? with the exception of those three These births seem to be all over the place. What I have been able to find is that Sir Edwins siblings were born in different places. George in Shropshire, Agnes in London, Barnardus in Warwickshire, Stephan in Yorkshire, Mary in Gatwick, ect. I know the family had some wealth at the time, but I dont know how common it would have been for people to travel that far back then in England. Searching church records in all these different locations is very time consuming. It feels more like looking for a needle in a haystack. Ed
-
Hi sorry, I've no idea. You could try posting that question on an appropriate board here (not sure which one though?)
-
thanks again for all your help, if you ever need anything looked up here in the states just let me know. Ed

Ann Harrington baptised 9/9/1798 sible hedingham to James and Ann Harrington.
In the burials, there is Ann Harrington 27/6/1807 and Ann Harrington 15/2/1808. No ages unfortunately.

Hello:
Am hoping for information on Ann SMITH who is said to have married Samuel WILBORE 13 Jun 1620 in Sible Hedingham.
Samuel was b./bap. Sible Hedingham in 1596-7. With nothing on Ann SMITH but their marriage, I'm hoping she, too, might have been b./bap. in the parish as well.
Would very much appreciate whatever information you may be able to provide on Ann SMITH, wife of Samuel WILBORE.
Thank you!
-
Anne daughter of Richard smith October 1592 sible hedingham.
Marriages only start at 1599 on parish register.
-
Thanks so much!!!
The 1620 marriage isn't listed?!?
REALLY appreciate your help!
-
I didn't look for the marriage. Do you need it checked?
-
nannyj:
Thank you so much! I could actually use the marriage, as well as Samuel's birth/baptism, looked for.
His birth/bap is speculated upon, based on his marriage which, as mentioned, is said to be 13 Jan 1620 (1619 OS). His birth/bap might easily be prior to 1596. His parents were Nicolas and Elizabeth (Thickines Harrington) WILBORE.
It is so great of you to do these look-ups! Thanks so very much!
-
Marriage is there. 13/1/1619
baptism for Samuel there too. November 1596. I think it's 21st. Father is Nicholas.
-
Thank you so very much, nannyj!
If I can be of any help to you from the USA, please let me know!
Cheers!

Thanks 😊

I am looking for any WILLET or similar entries.
Thanks
Lyn

Can you give us a bit more information lynt_1? E.g. What do you already have, what names/ dates/ areas in Essex?
-
Hello again,
I was looking at the Sible Hedingham area for Susannah and Sarah Waylett, Willett etc. I have my 3GGrandfather Martin Barnard from Stambourne married 1813 to Sarah Wailett in Braintree then married 1823 to Susannah Willet within the same year as his wife Sarah died. I can't help but think they may have been sisters so am checking all avenues.
Thanks
Lyn
-
The banns were called in stambourne (where Martin was from). Susannah willett was a widow. Looking for her previous marriage to get maiden name.
-
Thanks nannyj
I am working on the BARNARDs from Stambourne and to who belongs to who.
Lyn
-
Ok. If you let us know who and what you want looked up. Eg have you got martin's baptism/ parents etc
-
Did these transcriptions ever get put on-line and if so, where? Had a quick look through the thread and the O.P. never seems to have come back?
