No problem.

Just a word of caution - Thomas Dove began baptising his nine children in early 1584 at Saffron Walden, Essex whilst he was vicar there, and before he became Bishop of Peterborough. Im assuming he married shortly before then, although I cannot find a corresponding marriage either at Saffron Walden (where he was resident) or at Framlingham (where he was also appointed rector in 1584). If this marriage date is correct and Margaret was baptised shortly after her birth (which I do not dispute given the 2 year-ish gap between her and her early siblings), this would have made her a very young bride. Whilst not unlawful in Tudor period England for a girl to marry at 13, it would have been highly unusual. So far that marriage is proving elusive other than from second hand sources, none of which give a date or location.
By the way, I have posted the images of the baptisms and burials together with a transcription of Thomas's will on my Ancestry tree (funkymonkeymagic) where its publicly available.

Hi - possibly a little late to the party but there is a will for Denys's wife Elizabeth Jackson in 1640 which mentions '...Richard, ye sonne of Robert Brewin a salting trough and unto his daughter Elizabeth the [same?] a featherbed a warming pan and a boulster'. It also mentions the daughters of William Noone, possibly confirming that her mother was from the Noone family too.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to lookup a marriage in Battle for me?
Allegedly it occurred on 25th Sep 1793 between William TICEHURST and Sophia DARBY. I am particularly interested in whether it mentions the parishes that the bride and groom were from - I am very interested in whether Sophia came from outside of the parish and if so, where.

Fingers crossed and thank you in advance!

Best regards
Carl

On the marriage entry for Nathaniel Hubbard and Elinor Hill, he is described as of 'Barkin' 'Esix'. This was indeed Barking as he and several members of his family were all buried there. I have checked the same registers for baptisms but could not find any for Hubbards. Indeed these generations baptisms I have so far not found, only surmised from the various wills.

Elinor Hill was the daughter of Matthew Hill, a presbyterian minister who resided in Charles County, Maryland. Elinor was bequeathed a large tract of land in Maryland called Poppleton which she handed back to her American brethen - presumably when she settled back in England. This often copied indenture shows the link:

29 Nov 1717; Recorded at request of William PENN,planter. 09 Aug 1717, Indenture from Nathaniel HUBBARD of Goodman's Fields in Parish of St. Mary White Chapel, Middlesex, Gent., and Eleanor his wife, one of the daughters and co-heirs of Matthew HILL of Maryland in America, Gent., dec'd; for love and affection to her neices and nephews, for 5s; a parcel belonging to Eleanor HUBBARD called Poppleton of 200 arces on the west side of Wicomico River; one half part to Edith DUTTON, d/o _______ DUTTON, dec'd, neice of Eleanor, to use of Notley DUTTON, brother of Edith DUTTON and nephew of Eleanor; equal moiety to Elizabeth PENN, d/o William PENN and Elizabeth his late wife, dec'd, formerly Elizabeth DUTTON, and neice of Eleanor, for default of issue then to William PENN, brother of Elizabeth PENN, nephew of Eleanor; /s/ Nathaniel HUBBARD, Eleanor HUBBARD, Wit: Susannah HUBBARD, Jno. CRANWELL, Sr., Abra ATKINS, Isaac DELPEECH, Not. Pub.; 12 Nov 1717 Capt. John FENDALL and William HOWARD, atty., ack. deed.

Poppleton still exists, but is now a suburb of Baltimore.

Hi,

I'm new to this board - so I'm hoping you can help me!
I am trying to evaluate whether I have the 'right' family before I make the decision to travel to get a copy of the original registers.

I am looking for confimation of the occupation of the father for the following entry:
28th April 1817: Saint Phillips, Birmingham - Temperance NICHOLLS, parents John & Mary.
I am hoping that his occupation is of the gun trade, most likely Gun Polisher.

Fingers crossed and best wishes,
Carl
