Hi,  I think we are related!!
(Thank-you Jacky, it was nice to see your post, I was being thick on my Graves family and the link between them and this Bassingham one. Should have gone straight to your data base!!)

I have a connection thus-- Robert Graves who married Elizabeth Baker was brother of Job Graves my grt x 3 grandfather. these Graves sons of Robert Graves and Mary Pedge.

Hi,
Jacky will probably have the same info as I, (have a look ,its a great resource)--but I have a William Graves born 1789 Skellingthorpe s o Robert and Mary, married Sarah Sharpe. died 1851, Welbourne. Had 2 children, William and Caroline.
Is this your William?

The Lincs Marriage Indexes do not say that William was a Widow when he married Sarah Sharpe  but two of children of the first marriage are living with them in 1841.

Williams first wife was Ann Blaney (indexed under Greaves) in 1817 at Welbourn (incidently some records say Welbourne - which is correct?) Ann died in Apr 1833, William Jan 1851 and Sarah Nov 1864 - all at Welbourn.

Interestly the 1851 Census has brother in law John Graves born circ 1781 at Skellingthorpe resident with Sarah - did not know about him.

Will update Rootsweb when I have done some more "digging"

Currently I have the children of William and Ann as:-

Elizabeth Blaney Graves 1818 Welbourn
George Blaney Graves 1821 Welbourn died May 1891 Welbourn wife Eliza Ogden
Mary 1822 Welbourn
Thomas 1826 Welbourn wife Elizabeth Carrington
William 1827 Welbourn d 1898 Welbourne wife - Sarah surname as yet unknown

Children of William and Sarah Sharpe

Caroline 1838 Welbourn husband George Scott
Frances 1834 Welbourn
