Dee's Scavenger Hunt Part 2 (Everybody welcome to join in)

Hi James

Looks like she was born circa 1800, Bermondsey according to 1851 census. the 1861 and 1871 confirm this. She died in 1879. Isn't Babb her maiden name?

nothing on IGI for her as Babb

ps nice to see you again, James ... we were on the HEDGES thread

I've never been able to find out anything about either Eliza BABB or Joseph BLADES such as their marriage or baptisms or anything further back.

I believe Babb is her middle name, not her surname.

All the christenings to Joseph Blades and Eliza show the Babb part of her name.  It is very uncommon for a surname to be mentioned in English christenings.

I'll have a look, James  ...... 

I just found a baptism in 1850 for a Jospeh Blades, son of Frederic and Eliza Ann. Wonder if this is my Frederic. Baptism was at St Mary's, Lambeth.

Dee ..I think this is the child of a Frederick THOMAS Blades and Mary Ann Turner
on baptism (7 South St) Fred, the dad,  is a Machine man.

OK....scrap that one then, Deb.   Thanks for that.   

Re BABB, James....I'll check where I found that and let you know tomorrow. I really must stop for a few hours.

Much appreciation to you both for your help.

The name Babb appears on every single christening for children found so far.  I still believe it's a middle name though, unless the couple never married and were genuinely being honest about it.

Night Dee ...sleep well!

James, I'm looking for Babb middle names.

I'm currently trawling through the christening records between 1798 and 1802 for St. Mary Magdalene, Bermondsey.  No luck yet.  I'll check St. Olave, Bermondsey next.

Hi James

I am searching St Olave, Bermondsey at the moment ...although I am only looking at christenings in 1800
