Looking for information and confirmation on Hannah Fearis. Born in Ardleigh around 1791? May have died in Tendring 1872? Not sure if these dates are correct, havent confirmed any of it ??? Her Dad Phillip born about 1771 farmed in Ardleigh. Her mum was also Hannah. Am looking for any marriage records for young Hannah and possible children.
Thankyou :)

There's a Hannah age 70 in Ardleigh in 1841. On her own. Could be mum Hannah.
In 1851 she is mother in law 83 to William James 49 wife Hannah 49 so she could be daughter Hannah :D
Children are
William 29
Emma 16 (changed to Eunice)
Frederick W 12
Alfred P 5

Hannah Fearis
William Jeames

Thankyou so much for this Millipede. So Young Hannah marries, William Jeames? I had him listed as Norfolk but it didnt quiet add up.
I will add all this :)
-
The marriage is just an index record so I can't see if it does read Jeames or James but he is born Ardleigh as well :)
1861 has
William 59 builder I think it says and farmer
Hannah E 58
Frederick W 32 carpenter
Harriett 24

So Hannah Married a William James/Jeames Cooper? ??? ;D
-
If? This is the same person, I would think her middle name was Cooper?

There is a marriage at Tendering to an Edward Abbott and Eunice James 1858.

In 1871 Hannah is listed as Hannah C James, so could be Cooper as middle name. Might be mum's maiden name. This Hannah seems to be a bit young if the one we're looking for was born abt 1791

There's a Phillip Fearis marrying in Ardleigh in 1816 to Sarah Wilson. Could this be Philip son of Phillip, which would make him Hannah jnr's brother?
-
Essex wills index on FindMyPast has a Hannah Fearis being a benificiary in the will of T Cooper in 1796. She is listed as daughter.
So it looks as if Hannah snr was a Cooper before she married Phillip Fearis snr

Thanks everyone for all this information, muchly appreciated!
Can anyone find anything on Thomas Cooper. I think he may have owned 'Wick Farm' and this was inherited by his boys? Also his son Thomas Cooper died young, I have found a Will for him which was proved in 1833.
-
His son Thomas got Ardleigh Wick as it was phrased in the will.
Samuel got Brick House Farm Ardleigh
William got Hobbs in the Fenn Farm plus the bakehouse and lands in Dedham. (occupied by Thomas Wallis, sister Phebe's husband)
Sons Daniel and James each got one thousand pounds each to be paid by Thomas because he got the house lands and farm of Ardleigh Wick
Samuel was to pay Hannah four hundred pounds because he got Brickhouse Farm.
Hannah and Phebe both were to be paid three hundred pounds each out of his estate (Thomas the father)

St Mary the Virgin Parish Records Ardleigh
Baptized 10 August 1806 Hannah Cooper Fearis, daughter of Philip Fearis and Hannah nee Cooper.
Odd - baptised twice??. Baptised 4th May 1792 at Ardleigh, Hannah (aged 2 years) daughter of Philip and Hannah Fearis
added
There is a burial of Hannah daughter of Philip Fearis 5 Oct 1802, so there were two Hannahs. The OP thought she was born abt 1791 but that was the one who died in 1802. The Hannah who survived and married William James would be born after 1802, which fits better with her age on censuses.
