Hi Linclass.
I don't know what to say except thank you so much! I have been trying to find this information for so long and just like that you give it to me, I really am so grateful to you.
James was my G.G.Grandfather and he went on to be a Baptist Minister, he also named some of his sons after his Brothers it seems.
Thankyou again
Regards

Hi Jo.
Thanks again, this is definately the family. I did not even know about Emma, I got the family names and ages from the 1851/61 census.
It looks as if only Ephraim, William and Emma were born in Amersham, the rest as follows state Beaconsfield as a birthplace
Ann    bn abt 1839
Henry      abt 1837
James       "   1840
George      "  1842
Thomas     "  1847
I did not know Catherines maiden name or their marriage date, thankyou for that.
I descend from Thomas the youngest child of James and Catherine.
By 1851 James is a Baptist minister in a chapel at Hillingdon Middlesex and in 1861 he is ministering ( if that's the right word ) in Dymchurch in Kent. James and Catherine stayed in Kent till they died at a ripe old age.
I was suprised when I sent for Thomas's and my G.Grandmothers Marriage cert to see Thomas had put his Fathers profession as Baptist Minister as he married G.Gran in a Church of England in Paddington, London. It has been interesting tracing them though and now I am so far advanced thanks to your help.
The Ainsworths are my Maternal ancestors and I could not believe it when it turned out that Jemima Climpson was also from Amersham as she is my Paternal G.G.Grandmother. To think I used to take my Children to Beaconsfield many years ago to the model village there and did not even know then that my G.Grandad was born there. This hobby does throw up some suprises doesn't it?
Many thanks again for your help Jo. I have plenty extended family to find now eh?
Best Wishes

P.S
I have just realised you gave me a James born 1833 in Amersham yet on the 1851 census the James there is 11 yrs old so bn abt 1840 in Beaconsfield. Perhaps the first James died.

Hi again

I too spotted the difference for James age and presumed the first one died. I also note that the older children must have been born in Beaconsfield according to the 1841 census. At least you have an idea when he moved.

Now I have seen a marriage for a John Toms to a Mary Beamsley in 1791 which would match for Catherine Toms who married in 1828. I only have the marriages for St Marys and the baptisms for the meeting house on my PC. But I am going to the records office tomorrow and have it on my list to look for Catherines birth to see if her parents where indeed John and Mary. If they where, then you will have another branch. And another Beamsley !!!!

Hi Jo.
Thanks again! St Marys sounds like a C of E doesnt it? I will have to look the Church up on the Amersham site. I wonder whether they had to marry in a 'Proper' church back then. I do not know much at all about the Baptist faith, at this rate I had better start learning eh?

Oooh.

Meant to say that Ephriam's age was also not correct. Though he appears as 1830 in 1841 and 1836 on the register.I will have a look and see if those three, Emma, James and Ephriam died before their move to beaconsfield.

BTW - I see there is a death of Dorcas Ainsworth in March Q 1839 in Amersham.
