Leicestershire / Re: Desford burial, 1811 - UPTON thread!
« on: Friday 05 March 10 14:28 GMT (UK) »
I am also thinking I need to re-evaluate my research. John & Rebecca Lester Upton are my Henry's parents. I am not sure now who my John is?
Who is the John Upton also born in 1793 m Mary Dexter?
I have made tables/outlines (births, marriages, deaths) for Upton from the Desford parish registers (in Word) and would like to get them to both of you to input other information.
Need to spread out and check other churches in Desford area.
I don't have any information from the cemetery. What Uptons are there?
Rebecca Lester born 17 Nov 1788 Desford to James & Elizabeth Lester & died 20 Jun 1816 Desford m 30 Jun 1812, John Upton. She was just 27.
I thought I read somewhere that death certificates as late as 1868 did have more information such as parents.
Why was your John's will not probated until 1877? I had this reference: "John was listed a a framework knitter in Probate records from "Somerset House Probate" filed in 1877, which gives his death as 02/03/1868 in Desford".
I did not have any information from the John Upton will and see he did not mention a son Henry, although Henry came to Philadelphia in 1847.
1814 May 22 William Drakeley,batchelor. FK Elizabeth Upton** spinster. FK Banns Desford wit: Ann Plant. William Maides.
**I think she is the Elizabeth Upton born 23 Nov 1795 to William & Anne Archer Upton.
William Drakeley was dead before 1841. Two of their sons, Thomas White Drakeley & George Drakeley and their families also sailed on the London in 1847 to Philadelphia with my Henry Upton.
Anne Archer was christened: 3 Feb 1771 at Kegworth or born 1771 in Kilby.
