Hi Sue

Unfortunately the forename Jonadab does not appear in any of the transcipts of the Heathfield Registers that I have from 1582 - 1753

Sorry

Hi Chris

Thanks for looking for Jonadab - it was just outside chance that that the child may have been named after a grandad.

Many thanks
Sue

Hi Chris,
Please can you tell me if the surname of AVENDER appears on your Heathfield Register as My Gt Grandfathers army savings book gives Eastbourne as his birth place but on the 1881 census it gives Heathfield.I cannot find the surname AVENDER anywhere in UK previous to 1881
Many thanks
Kathy

Hi tup1

Will have a look, but you mention dates of 1881 - the transcription copies that I have are from 1582 - 1753 so will more likely than not have the name AVENDER in them

Hi again Kathy

well, the name AVENDER comes up many times - but always as part of the name LAVENDER; never on its own.

Sorry

Hi what was his full name and year of birth? (hopefully after sept 1837 ) then we can look from him in the BMD, if it was prior to 1837 we can look on the IGI for his bapt.

Hi Toni

His full name was James William Avender born c1855.On his Army Savings book he gave his parents names as George & Mary and 2 brothers named George & Gid Young?(not very clear) & 1 Sister called Mary.
Incidentally I came across another Avender in Grantham in the 1881 census for Grantham his name was James Enos Avender but he was a soldier and it gave no place of birth.whether they were brothers etc I don't know.Hope that you can help me
Many Thanks
Kathy

Hello Kathy, can you give details or the reference for the 1881 census. 

I'm wondering if your chap was an Avenden, which is a Sussex name, can't see a match just yet though 
Maybe he was a Lavender and somehow the L got left off, maybe by accident or the family changed it for some reason?

i can't see him 1850-1856, in fact i cant see any Avender/dar's at all
