Essex / Re: Sible Hedingham, Essex Church Records

Thank you so much. Any ideas on where to look for records of Sir Edwin, his father Arthur, or his grandfather john? with the exception of those three These births seem to be all over the place. What I have been able to find is that Sir Edwins siblings were born in different places. George in Shropshire, Agnes in London, Barnardus in Warwickshire, Stephan in Yorkshire, Mary in Gatwick, ect. I know the family had some wealth at the time, but I dont know how common it would have been for people to travel that far back then in England. Searching church records in all these different locations is very time consuming. It feels more like looking for a needle in a haystack. Ed

I really appreciate the help. By the way, some records here in the US are hard to find as well and some have long since been destroyed thanks to a little military incursion in 1812 by a certain unnamed country. And a certain hated northern civil war general who made it his goal to burn the entire southern US to the ground. All of this is further complicated by the addition of new counties created from older larger counties along with county lines being redrawn after the civil war. For instance my family has lived on the same piece of land my 5th gr grandfather received in a land grant for his service in the Revolution in 1790. All of our old family and land records are in Chatham County NC. But now most of our land is now in Harnett County and some of it in neighboring Wake County with a tiny sliver of it still remaining in Chatham County. And we haven't moved in 226 years! LOL

I have some of the Yorkshire records where she is from, I was just wondering if there were any church records in Essex where the males are from and where their children would have been born.
I am very good at finding records here in the US because I know where and how to look. In the UK records are very different and not as many are accessible online. I really wish I knew where and how to get some of these records. For instance, Sir Edwin had a knighthood. There must be records of how, when, where, and by whom he was given that knighthood. But I have no clue how to obtain them. Ed

Is that all you have on the Raulins family? Now I am beginning to wonder if the church had spelled SiR Edwin Rawlings as Raulins as well. Do you have anything on the VanMeter family? More specifically I am looking for a marriage between Rebecca VanMeter born about 1577 and Sir Edwin Rawlings/Raulins. And a marriage between Arthur Rawlings/Raulin born abt 1544 and Izabell Bothomly born abt 1548. I am pretty sure that marriage took place in 1569 in Yorkshire, but their may be other church records for their childrens baptisms as well. Thanks. Ed

Do you have any other information on any other Raulin's in the records? You have no idea how much I love you for doing this. I have been trying to trace this family for a long time with no luck and now I know why. I used the wrong spelling of the name.

The Rawlings family is Norman. And family history states that we came to England with William the Conqueror in 1066, which is what I am trying to determine as true or not with the family tree. And Rawlings in French is Raul the name is of early medieval English origin, and is one of the patronymic forms of the surname Rawling, developed from the Middle English given name "Rawlin". The personal name was adopted from the Old French "Raulin", itself a double diminutive of "Raw", with the Anglo-Norman French suffixes "-el" and "-in". Raw was one of the many variant forms of the male personal name Ralph, in origin an Old Norse name composed of the Germanic elements "rad", counsel, advice, with "wolf", wolf. Raulin is one of the many names that the Normans brought with them in 1066. The name Raulin came from the Norman given name Ralph. This name which also occurs as Ralf, Rolf, and Raoul is adopted from the old French given name Raol. So to think that I might have finally found a connection to the earlier spelling of the name is very exciting!

I also have a John Rawling/Raulin Son of Arthur Rawling born 1571 in Yorkshire, however I have no other information on him including who he married or where he lived. This would be a closer match since the elder John Raulin would have been 90 at the time the children were being babtised.
