Wiltshire Lookup Requests / Re: Richard AKERMAN, Sarah ROMAN & Mary WESTON, Patney, Chirton and surroundings.
« on: Friday 21 May 10 07:05 BST (UK) »
I've just found this thread whilst doing my own research. It appears we share the same ancestors Richard Akerman of Patney and Sarah Roman from Chirton.
In my case i'm descended from their son Stephen (baptised 1740 in Patney) and Stephens son William b1774 (Via Williams second marriage to Hannah).
Did you find out any more about Richard or confirm his birthplace as BC? I'm off to the records office in a couple of hours to continue the quest.
Cheers.

Edit. It appears Sarah died in 1775 and is buried at Patney. I found the last Will and Testament of Richard Akerman (father of Richard, Stephen and others) dated 1767 and "proved " in 1772 so presumably Riichard died about 1771/2 although that record is missing. Unfortunately there is no evidence of age for Richard or Sarah but if Richard died in 1771 that would make him 81 if he is the BC Richard , not inconceivable since his son Stephen lived till he was 88.
