Hi all. I'm new at this and most grateful for any insight you can offer. Ancestry.com has led me to this couple in my family tree and I'd love to know who their parents were and anything else I can find out about them.
Charles Finch: I'm not sure when or where he was born. It appears he died in Newbury in 1837.
Sarah Matilda Tuckwell: Born somewhere in Oxfordshire, 1776. Married Charles in Newbury 06 July 1806. Died at the home of her daugther and son-in-law in Great Eversden, Cambridgeshire, 1 Sep 1858.
There was a Charles Finch who apprenticed as a cabinet maker in Aston Tirrold starting in 1793. I found that on TheGenealogist site. Possibly the same Finch? One of the couple's sons, Robert T. Finch, was also a cabinet maker in New York for what that's worth.
I know from a helpful new friend from the community forums at Berkshire Family History Society that there was a John and Martha Finch in Aston Tirrold around this time. I suppose they might have been Charles' parents -- but I haven't seen any record of a son with that name.
I also learned Charles Finch left a will, so I have requested more info about that from the Royal Berkshire Archives.
So that's where I am. Any suggestions very welcome!
