Suffolk / Re: Susan Key or Briddy?
« on: Thursday 13 November 25 14:17 GMT (UK)  »
The reason why I never saw this as on FindMyPast this record is just transcribed as 'Susannah, daughter of Henry and Priscilla Brady'. Only on Ancestry transcription does it include 'Key'. I just purchased the image of the register and it does indeed say 'Susannah Key'. So I'm pretty sure it's her.

I think I might have found her.
'Susannah Key Brady, daughter of Henry and Priscilla. Baptised Lexden, Essex. 1761.
Fits with burial age. Brady and Briddy with accent is close sounding.

So now that Ancestry have images of Suffolk registers I can now see.

It seems like her surname is 'Briddy' and her first name is 'Susannahkey'??
The clerk inserts 'Key' after her first name Susan on the baptism of their son George in 1785 (I will attach a copy) as if its part of her first name. Then below when noting her full name, the words are closer together but the K is capitalised 'Susan Key Briddy' or 'Susankey Briddy'.
Is this meant to be the name 'Sukey Briddy' and they are taking the 'Su' part as 'Susan/Susannah' fully?
On the baptism of their daughter Susan in 1783 it states 'Susan Key, daughter of George and Susan Key Argent'. It seems like 'Key' is part of her name?

On their marriage in 1782 Glemsford her name is wrote as 'SusannahKey Briddy' by the clerk but she signs as 'Susannah Key Briddy'?

She is one of the Susan Argents who dies in either 1833 or 1834 Glemsford. One has a birthdate given as 1760, the other as 1770. Given marriage at 1782, I'd think its the former one. So a birthdate c1760.

I can't see any families called Briddy.
There is a baptism of a Thomas 'Bruty' in 1770 Glemsford, to a Thomas and Mary.
In nearby Clare, there is a family baptising with the names Brady/Braddy/Bruty but no Susan/Susannah*.

Travelling People / William Boswell, Romany?
« on: Monday 25 August 25 18:55 BST (UK)  »
I have a William Boswell/Boswel, of Wigston Magna, Leicestershire and a wife Jane.
They baptise children between 1716 and 1732.
William is buried 1768 Wigston Magna and Jane buried 1751 Wigston Magna.
No Boswell's in Wigston Magna prior to daughter Ann baptised in 1716, so they come from another parish.
I have seen one tree state that William is Romany but I don't know where this information is from.
I know there were Romany Boswell's in Leicestershire during the 18th century. I cant find a marriage between William and Jane either.
He is not the William Boswell of Bottesford, Leicestershire. Bapt 1696. This William is buried 1706.
Any help appreciated.

Leicestershire / Re: Wigston burials, 17th century
« on: Wednesday 04 June 25 21:08 BST (UK)  »
Where are the sources for his parents being those two? As far as I know, there isn't any. Most of this is from Ancestry trees and they are completely false (As is mostly the case).

The only thing we know really about Anthony's life prior to marriage is that according to his will of 1626, he has a brother Richard Brewin, living at Broughton Astley and a cousin John Brewin, living at Little Stretton.
The only thing I can find about a Richard Brewin/Bruan is a marriage in Broughton Astley 1621 for a Richard Brian to Elizabeth Smith.
Cousin John Brewin we can pin as the John Brewin/Bruan who baptises children at Little Stretton in the 1590s. Married to an Elizabeth, who is buried 1618 Little Stretton 'Elizabeth, wife of John Bruan'. John then is buried 1637 Little Stretton, 'John Bruan, Senior, Husbandman'. This line stays at Little Stretton and are later styled 'Gentlemen'. (I descend from this line, as well as the Wigston Magna line).
This Bruan family of Stretton also Marry to a Mary Andrews in 1608 Great Stretton, who is then buried 1614 Little Stretton, 'Mary Bruan, the wife of Robert Bruan'. It should be noted that the Andrews family of Little Stretton have a Gentry connection. They descend from the Andrews of Bisbrooke. Their pedigree can be seen in Nichols Antiquities of Leicestershire. So we can know that the Brewin/Bruan family line of Little Stretton at least, are not of Labouring status. John Bruan is also one of the witnesses to the inventory of Edward Andrews, Gentleman, of Little Stretton, 1623.

Here is the Newspaper mention. Nothing noting any family.

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?
« on: Friday 09 May 25 18:44 BST (UK)  »
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
« on: Friday 09 May 25 17:07 BST (UK)  »
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.
