Berkshire Lookup Requests / Re: Coxhead St Lawrence Reading
« on: Sunday 31 August 25 14:38 BST (UK) »Hi,
There is a William Coxhead bapt. 26-12-1799 in Reading St.Lawrence (s/o John & Mary) on Ancy.
Does this seem the one?
There is also a marriage of John Coxhead to a Mary Smith 18-2-1793 in Reading St.Giles - not sure if these are the parents of William.

Thank you for looking! I'm not sure as the censuses estimate his birth to be closer to 1806. I've now found a baptism record for a James Coxhead on 6 Jan 1807 St Lawrence Reading, son of Charles and Martha which could be him- doesn't list have William in the name though (and I have him as William James Coxhead) so not completely sure
EDIT: also found William baptised 25 Apr 1810 son of Charles and Martha think this might be the one. The censuses list his year of birth as 1808, 1811 and 1806

ah of course thank you- I've not done any research for quite a while and forgot that was the case pre 1837!

Hello,
Would anyone be able to check the marriage of William Coxhead to Ann Newbery on 25 July 1826 in St Laurence, Reading? I'd like to know if it lists either of their parents and I'm having difficulty tracing any baptism records and parentage for them.
Many thanks!
Jess

Surrey Lookup Requests / Re: Jacobs family- Merton
« on: Tuesday 02 August 22 15:16 BST (UK) »I'm going the long way round but sometimes it works.
Will of James Jacob (no S) 1720 listed as Jacobi Jacob on ancestry of Mertin (sp) Surrey
Bequests to John Dan Cammell? and his children Charles, William, Hannah and Katherine.
His late wife's sister Alice Conyers and her son Edward.
The bulk of his estate goes to his dear brother Benjamin Jacob senior of Mertin Surrey
--------------------
So they are probably sons of John Jacobs died 1678 of Merton Surrey who has children Margaret wife of John Fo?, Catherine, James, Thomas and Benjamin.
That's really helpful, thank you very much!

« on: Tuesday 02 August 22 15:05 BST (UK) »There is a Jane Jacobs died 1735 she is a widow also of Merton, her will mentions quite a few members of the Jacobs family including James.
She is a god parent to Benjamin son of James.
Have you worked out where she fits in?
Often a wife might go home for the birth of her first child so you might want to go a little further afield in search of James son of Benjamin and Catherine, he may have been baptized in her home parish.
thank you- I'll take a look- no, I haven't found out her connection so far. There was a daughter called Jane but this must be a different one as she is a widow.

Surrey Lookup Requests / Jacobs family- Merton
« on: Monday 01 August 22 22:34 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for a potential marriage between Benjamin Jacobs and his wife Catherine in Merton and a possible baptism for him. I have found his will which shows he died in Merton in 1732. It mentions his eldest son, James but I haven't found a baptism record for him. I have baptism records of the following children:
Benjamin 1693
Catherine, 1696
John 1699
Jane 1704
Any ideas?
