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.

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.

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.
