Suffolk Lookup Requests / Re: Ketcham or Higham parish in 1732
« on: Wednesday 09 April 14 11:32 BST (UK)  »
Hi Anne
Thanks for that.
Any chance that the "mford" might have been Stratford? I'm working on the theory that Francis and Bridgit had children in Stratford-St-Mary from 1732 onwards...
Cheers

Thanks Keziah, very useful.
My assumption was that they had lived in Great Wenham, but never thought of that as being a possibility for mis-spelling as Ketcham - I guess if it's scribbled!
Hopefully someone has access to Great Wenham, Higham or Layham that might be able to check!
I'll can check Dedham and Langham next time I'm on Essex Ancestors.

Suffolk Lookup Requests / Ketcham or Higham parish in 1732
« on: Saturday 26 January 13 18:20 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all
The familysearch/IGI search has an entry on 22nd May 1732 for a marriage between a FRANCIS STOW and BRIDGETT CARTER. The location is given as "KETCHAM, SUFFOLK" but I can't figure out where this might be. The batch seems to have records from all over Suffolk.
HIGHAM parish would make more sense, if its the Francis I'm looking for. Does anyone have any idea where Ketcham might refer to, or have access to the Higham records to see if it is indeed that parish?
Thanks
Roy

I followed that lot before I worked it all out (which took ages!).
There may be a lot of Taylors, but very few Eliases and even fewer Dianas. Not only can't I find their burials, the marriage and both their births have proved impossible. Thats why I was wondering about other (independent?) churches?

Hi Trish
M/c does indeed have Elias on it. Thomas disappeared after 1841 until the marriage in 1857.
Diana was living with daughter Elizabeth Spering in Hackney in 1851. Elizabeth was witness to Thomas's marriage in 1857 as Spering, so they all tie up - its just a missing baptism for Thomas.
Another puzzle is why I cant find Diana's burial in 1870 or Elias' (sometime between 1861 and 1871 I'm guessing). Maybe there's another church involved somewhere?

Hi Sillgen
Thanks for that. In 1841 they were living in Trafalgar Court - opposite the station, I think. Isn't that still the St Nicholas parish?

Sussex Lookup Requests / Brighton St Nicholas TAYLOR Baptism Lookup

Hi all
Could someone with access to the St Nicholas records please look for a THOMAS TAYLOR, the son of ELIAS and DIANNA, who should have been baptised some time around 1830. All his brothers and sisters seem to be baptised there, but the FamilySearch site (which seems to be the only online source) doesn't have him in there. I'm hoping the transcribers have missed him.
Thanks in advance

Surrey Lookup Requests / Egham marriage and baptism requests 1897
« on: Sunday 20 March 11 23:50 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all
If anyone has access to the Egham parish records could they please look up a marriage for FREDERICK WILLIAM BLOYCE to ALMA JANE CHILVERS in the 1st quarter of 1897. (I only know its in the Windsor district for sure, but the rest of the family used the Egham church so I'm assuming it was there).
I am also looking for a baptism for their son GEORGE WILLIAM who was born in 1893 but may have been baptised around the time of their wedding.

Many thanks for any information

Roy
