Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Mary Jerson?
« on: Saturday 10 May 25 07:04 BST (UK)  »
Thank you for that.
I suppose I will still look for a Jerson/Ireson. Most others have it as ''Jewson'' and there are Jewson families in this area with the name variously spelt or transcribed as Jeuson/Jewson/Jeweson/Jusson/Juson/Jenson.
No baptism for a Mary though, that I can see.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Mary Jerson?

I have a marriage between John Winter, Gentleman, of Terrington St John, Norfolk and a Mary, May 1696 at Terrington St John. Mary's name has been transcribed as ''Jerson'' on Ancestry, ''Person'' on FindMyPast and ''Juson'' on Freereg and many people have then changed this to ''Jewson''. I'd like a second opinion as I'm not quite sure and to me looks like ''Lerson''?.

Norfolk / Re: Archdeaconry Wills

Thank You for that. I'm not sure what I was doing earlier as Ive gone back and found it myself straight away. Too many tabs open on different image indexes is my excuse. I just realised that John was in the Norfolk and not Norwich AD. Thanks again.

Norfolk / Archdeaconry Wills
« on: Friday 09 May 25 16:10 BST (UK)  »
I cant seem to find two wills within the Archdeaconry of Norwich.
The wills can be viewed via familysearch but the fo. numbers dont appear to match these wills.
Ive been using this all morning alongside the Consistory Court one but I cant seem to find these two. Ive had no problem finding other wills via the fo. number on this link concerning the archdeaconry. https://www.familysearch.org/en/search/catalog/504379?availability=Family%20History%20Library


John Greene of North Lopham. 1673. Fo. 114. No.104. By accessing the 'Regd. copy wills, v. 59 1672-1673' Fo. number 114 appears to be covering the will of Richard Jeakell 1670? Although im not sure what No.104 means? https://nrocatalogue.norfolk.gov.uk/index.php/greene-john-of-north-lopham

Ann Parlet of Wiggenhall. 1694. Fo. 143. This appears to be missing, but must exist as its been indexed? There is a gap in the images for 143. https://nrocatalogue.norfolk.gov.uk/index.php/parlett-anne-of-wiggenhall

Hi,

The Thomas Cross bapt 1796 Witchford, son of Charles and Phoebe. It seems he dies 1838 Witchford.
The Thomas Cross bapt 1796 Manea, son of John and Elizabeth. It seems he dies 1802 Manea. They then baptise another son Thomas in 1803, who dies in 1849 Manea.
The Thomas Cross bapt 1795 Cottenham, son of John and Elizabeth. It seems he dies after 1881. He is living at Cottenham on all census records up until then.
There is a Thomas Cross, bapt 1793 at Bluntisham (About 12 miles from Ely), son of Philip Cross and Mary Kitson/Kidson. I cant seem to find this Thomas after the baptism in the local area so this could be a possibility? The age is about right. My Thomas consistently lists his birthplace as Ely though, on census.

Cambridgeshire / Thomas Cross of Middle Fen?
« on: Tuesday 22 April 25 20:59 BST (UK)  »
Looking for the parents of Thomas Cross.
I have Thomas Cross marrying Hannah Lawrence 7 Apr 1812. Thomas is a bachelor of St Marys Parish and Hannah, Spinster, of Ely Trinity.
In 1841 they are living in Middle Fen (Area between Stuntney and Queen Adelaide). Thomas is aged 45 (Birth date of 1796)
In 1851 they are living at Middle Fen Bank. Thomas is aged 58 (Birthdate of 1793).
1861 census was destroyed in a flood.
In 1871 Thomas and Hannah are living at Middle Fen. Thomas is aged 79 (Birthdate of 1792).
In 1841- 1851 Thomas is an Ag Lab but in 1871 he appears to be a farmer of 20 acres.
Birthplace is listed as Ely on census.
I believe he is the Thomas Cross who died at Stuntney 1877. Birthdate given as 1790.

I cant seem to find a baptism for him anywhere.
He is not the Thomas Cross, bapt 1791 Ely. Son of Charles Cross and Elizabeth Bartle. Pretty much all trees put these as his parents but this is a red herring. This family are also living at Middle Fen as well but this Thomas is living with father Charles in 1851 (Also at Middle Fen).

I do have a dna match with someone who descends from George Cross 1812 Ely, son of Philip Cross and Mary Ong but as far as I can see, this Philip did not a have a son called Thomas. So, the dna link might be at a further generation.

Leicestershire / Re: Joanna Sharpe of Cadeby?
« on: Friday 18 April 25 16:32 BST (UK)  »
I'm not 100% sure that John is the John Large bapt 1725 Witherley, Leicestershire to William and Sarah. It is indeed the only baptism near Nuneaton for a John Large within the time frame but there is a Large family already in Nuneaton. A William Large marries Elizabeth Johnson, Nuneaton 1721, No baptism for a John though. There is only a daughter Mary baptised to this couple in 1725 that I can see. Wife Elizabeth dies 1729.

I descend from daughter Johanna Large.
She was bapt 1757 Nuneaton.
Marries William Taylor 1797 Nuneaton.
Has only one child, A son, John Large Taylor bapt 1798 Nuneaton (My direct paternal line ancestor)
Dies 1827 Nuneaton.

Leicestershire / Joanna Sharpe of Cadeby?
« on: Friday 18 April 25 14:42 BST (UK)  »
Looking for a baptism for Joanna Sharpe/Sharp.
She marries John Large 12 Jul 1756 at Cadeby, Leicestershire. She is listed as 'Of Cadeby' and John is 'Of Nuneaton'.

The only Sharpe/Sharp family in Cadeby I can see is a marriage of Thomas Sharpe of Desford to Judith Larrett of Cadeby, at Cadeby 25 Aug 1725.
They have the following children -
Judith, bapt 1726 Desford. Marries Nathanael Bryan 1746 Desford. Dies 1787 Desford.
Elizabeth, bapt 1728 Desford. Marries Joseph Brown 1747 Desford. Dies ?
There is then a 5 year gap until the next baptism for this pair.
Thomas, bapt 1733 Desford. Marries Elizabeth Curson 1754 Desford. Dies 1806 Earl Shilton?

Thomas Sharp dies in 1738 Desford. He doesn't have a will, only an admon and inventory.
Judith then marries Thomas Farr 1743 Desford and dies 1776 Desford. She doesn't have a will, as far as I can see.

I cant seem to see a baptism for a Joanna fitting, especially as she states she is of Cadeby. The gap between baptisms could be when she is born and perhaps baptised elsewhere or not at all.
