Hello Peeps
I need a search done at LMA as I live in south of France. Anyone willing to help?
The search will be through the St Giles in the Fields Parish records between 1750-1820, especially seeking a birth entry in 1789 for a Faustin Jeffery
Thanks

Could he be the same Faustin Jeffery who is possibly married to a Catherine but living in St Luke Middlesex in 1841 occ Shoe maker -not born in county. In 1851 he is in St Giles, Cripplegate born Huntspill, Somerset

that is him
it says though in an 1807 newspaper article that he was born in st Giles Middlesex
-
There is also an obituary in March 1866 which says 'March 8th in London, Mr Faustin Jeffery late of Cannington, Somerset age 77
-
I see he deserted in the 1807 article , maybe he was still 'in hiding' in the early census ;D
-
Researchers who visit the LMA are few and far between but I know of 2 who may be able to help.
I'll send a pm and see what happens.

Somerset as birth place seems to be leading Middlesex 3 to 1 so far. There is a younger Faustin jeffery (b abt 1841 /2) who marries in 1864, father henry (deceased) warehouseman. With such an unusual name they could possibly be related. Might be worth looking for henry, he could be your Faustin's brother. On the 1851, young Faustin is with his grandmother Ann Ingersole (widow) and his aunt Sophia. there is a marriage for Mary Ann Jeffery widow to William Searls widower on 12 may 1861. her father is John Ingersole game keeper.

Faustin is in 1841 and 1851 censuses but not 1861
Faustin junior is my fustian's grandson, henry being Faustin senior's son

I just found william and mary ann living next door to Faustin junior

If someone born in Somerset or Middlesex married in Dublin then came back to England, he might have gone back to the army. I have three men in my tree who were born in England and I thought they had lived all their lives quite close to their birthplaces but all had one child born in Ireland. I thought it was a mistake on the census record until I had found they had all done a spell in the army and one had married in Ireland as well.
-
Not sure he was back in the army given he had deserted in 1807, my cousin is going to try to do a search for him
-
One other thought, in the 1807 newspaper report he was described as a shoemaker by trade as well as being a drummer in the army. He was only 18 so unlikely to have served a full apprenticeship as a shoemaker by then. Perhaps a family member was a shoemaker and he learnt from them rather than a formal apprenticeship.

Hello
yes you could be right there. The family I think he comes from though were landed gentry, but i as the family think he fled home after a quarrel he may have had to get a trade and quick

Maybe it would help us if you said who you thought he may be descended from :-\

I think we're just going over a lot of old ground

They are interesting links Lizzie ;D
Dismo,
Did you pursue this
I suspect that Hasquin Jeffs was in fact Faustin Jeffery
In 1851 census Faustin said that he was born in Hunstpill
Hasquin was born in Bridgwater four miles away
I saw him in a bridgwater parish register transcript
his parents william and betty Jeffs
-
I suspect that Faustin was also named John at birth and was the son of Saunders and Nancy Jeffery of Huntspill, Somerset
-
Saunders' will stated that he left a sum to his son John (if he be still living)

Checked St Giles In The Fields baptisms for 1789 & 1790 & couldn't find him there. The records are quite poor so I can't be 100% certain. St Giles In The Fields baptisms at this time run to around 1000 baptisms per year so any search could take quite some time.
-
Thank you so much for looking, the other thing is that he may have been baptised at St Giles Cripplegate, where he was living in 1851
