Kent Completed Lookup Requests / Re: BAPTISM THOMAS SA(U)NDERS EAST PECKHAM 1825
« on: Thursday 07 February 08 08:51 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks for the response and interest!
I viewed both entries on the family search.org site
The entry that seemed to fit was for baptism event May 8th 1825 at East Peckham in respect of Thomas Saunders son of Richard Saunders and Fanny.
I noted with interest the other Thomas Saunders baptised Oct 17th 1824
at East Peckham as well - Son of Thomas Saunders and Harriet
The thought has crossed my mind that Thomas Saunders Snr and Richard might have been  cousins if not brothers.!

Hi

Sometimes when I am engrossed in the research of a particular line I forget what was happening at the time, Then I look at the date and think "My God they were alive during the Napoleonic wars"  or whatever.

Could not agree more with Amy K &c about relating 'world/national' historical events or epochs and placing family members in context

I 've asked myself questions along those lines

Thanks

Hi
I did manage to get a poppy to lay upon the local Cenotaph

As very soon there will be no Great War veterans left at all I am reminded of
these words written by JRR Tolkien - himself a Great War veteran
 - in the Appendices of Lord of The Rings

'...An end was come in Middle-earth of the Fellowship of the Ring'




We will remember them - Lest we forget

Hi
Concerning 'third party' inquiries
From what has been said thus far I cannot agree more about acting on the side of caution

Preferable to deal direct with the alleged 'relative' AND ask some questions first

I my self  will take such caution on board
Thank  you

Hi
Concerning spellling of names
On some visits to  the familysearch LDS site
I keyed in the surname 'Dowley' (Cheshire)
and the results had shown  'Dooley' as well
I suppose it depended on how the clerk understood the name
Thanks

Hi
Thanks to Eyesee concerning the Rochester event

I 've seen the copy of the Register entry myself
Apart from James Smith and the minister officiating they were none too lettered!

Digressing slightly I understand it would have been plausible for them  to have found work beforehand in the Medways.Thus sojourning at least long enough to be accounted 'of this parish' As well the premise I work from is that of mobility of esp single guys together with the River Medway playing a big role

I haven't seen banns on the CityArk site Perhaps I missed something!

I might mention my cousin's work on the family tree.
Though this  like the mobility of workers might be conveniently overlooked
She began working on the tree well before PC's started to be commonplace domestic appliances
Thus much of the data she obtained was 'offline'
I have understood her to be meticulous
Even acknowledging situations where lineage is to be queried
Thus I have seen no cause to question accuracy of her charts
An earlier chart she had shown me had given at least years of Baptism
Certainly if familysearch-IGI was really used by her such was not apparent to me.
I might ask her concerning her data sources if only to confirm accuracy.

Hi
Thanks once again for responses thus far

Concerning Mary Sa(u)nders
IF she was born to OUR Richard and Fanny Sa(u)nders.
She may have been first one born after marriage event (Rochester)
OR may have been exnuptial conception in connexion with East Peckham event

My cousin never mentioned Emma- listed in 1841 census report
I might take this up with her

Trish251 has drawn attention to a scenario where given the age of Fanny Sa(u)nders -48/49 at time of Sarah' s birth - the former may well be grandmother rather than mother

As to Rochester versus East Peckham marriage events I leave open pro tem

Certainly I would esp appreciate info on Thomas Sa(un)ders concerning his baptism

An aside I have been given to understand labourers esp ag labs were somewhat mobile They may well turn up at 'Fairs' where prospective employers might set up their hiring stands
Thus some guys might turn up in say the Medways
As well the River Medway must not be understated as a transport link
Indeed a census report shows a guy by the name  Saunders (not known to be a direct relation) as a bargeman

I 'm now asking myself as to whether I for one might have to reinvent the wheel concerning the Saunders' line

Thanks
