Norfolk / Re: Laxons of Wickmere/ Barningham
« on: Sunday 04 November 12 13:02 GMT (UK)  »
Hello Geoff,

Thanks for those links... Peter looks promising but I am going over somebody else's work and they have Peter's father as another Henry Laxon bn 1701 Little Barningham and his father Thomas Laxon/ Laxton. Have already found some errors in the tree regarding dates. It had poor Peter dying on the same day as he was married and his son born 2 years after his death!

Best wishes

Norfolk / Laxons of Wickmere/ Barningham
« on: Saturday 03 November 12 20:18 GMT (UK)  »
I wonder if anybody has come across the births of Henry Laxon bn 1769 in Wickmere and his father Peter bn around 1737 in Little Barningham. I have searched the IGI and FreeReg but cannot find them on either of these sources. I would be grateful for any help. I wondered if they were possibly Quakers but would not know where to go to access these records.

Regards Jayne

Would you be able to tell me if his profession was listed anywhere? Henry snr was born in Wickmere which is in North Norfolk and on the 1841 census Ann lists her county as Norfolk too.

Regards

That is fantastic information thank you. I think the reason that there are no further christenings is that they mive to Great Yarmouth where Ann and Rachael were born in 1797 and 1799 respectively.

Many thanks

I am looking for the christening record of Henry Laxon son of Henry Laxon and Anne Allington. Also their marriage entry. It is said that both events took place in 1793. Later Henry's profession was a shoemaker.
Many thanks

Devon Lookup Requests / Re: Death of Frank NEWTON/BRENHAM before 1915
« on: Saturday 19 November 11 18:29 GMT (UK)  »
Not sure what happened to my reply so here goes again and apologies if it has duplicated.
My gt grandmother was Eliza Emily Brenham. Her father married Caroline Eliza Newton nee Moxey after his first wife died. Frank and his siblings became step siblings to George's children. Whilst it is not pleasant to contemplate my gt. grandmother always maintained that she was attacked by her half brother and it resulted in the birth of my gt. aunt Mary Ann Brenham bn 1899 in a Devon workhouse. Whilst he was not listed as the father on the birth certificate he was listed as the father on her death certificate in 1915. He was listed as a former draper shop walker (deceased). Their circumstances in 1901 - Eliza is an inmate in an institution, Mary Ann living with another family as a nursechild and Frank married to a Jessie living a few miles away seem to bear out the story. I cannot find hs death however but maybe he emmigrated too.

Hope that helps

Thank you so much for that information. Especially the address they were living as there has been some discussion about stories that Florrie told regarding their life and where they lived, which doesn't ring true with what I have found out about the Hendry family, unless there is something that I have missed. His father Cochrane Scott Hendry was a commercial traveller, flour dealer and general shop assistant and his mother was Edith L Selig, her father was a Louis Selig and he was a toy merchant in Liverpool. He is described as German, naturalised British subject born Boyenburg. Florrie described a life of luxury and I'm not sure this fits...
Thanks again and best wishes

Jayne
