Title: Thomas Carpenter b.(Abt.)1739 - d. 1821
Post by: PeteCarpenter on Wednesday 06 June 18 13:23 BST (UK)

Hi All,

Hopefully some of you helpful people can point me in the right direction!
I am trying to find out details of the parents of Thomas Carpenter born in Bradford on Tone in abt. 1739 and died in the alms house of Wellington, Somerset in 1821.

I am pretty confident of these dates from using freeReg and cross referencing against verifiable sources in my own tree.

I can't seem to find a marriage record for his parents (Thomas and Sussanah) or a baptism record for his Father Thomas; despite searching a broader time scale and extending the search into neighbouring counties.
This gives me the inclination that perhaps they moved into the area sometime between marriage and having Thomas? Would that be a fair assumption?

What would you try next?

Many thanks in advance!

Pete Carpenter


EDIT: Apologies all, I let my frustration get the better of me! I believe that I have now found the correct record. m. 1734 to Susannah Tucker. Very happy for feedback if this is found to be off the mark though AND I would still love find a record of his bith/baptism!

Hi

Thomas Carpenter of Bradford married Susannah Tucker on 1 July 1736 at Staplegrove, Somerset.-(Record on FindMyPast)

I'll keep looking for a baptism for Thomas senior.

Hi
The children i can see at Bradford on tone
Elizabeth 28.4.1738
Thomas 25.8.1739
William 25.11.1743

Burials Thomas  21.12.1783 and
Sussannah 28.12.1783 his widow.(So it has to be the right couple).

Hi there. I can't say for sure as I haven't really expanded every avenue of the family as yet, but I don't believe so.

Cheers
