Parish look ups

[MattD30]

Can anyone do a look up in parish registers of Chilham, Molash, Whitstable,Goodestone, Boughton Aluph, Thanet (St Lawrence) and Challock for me?

Also is there anyone who can photograph some tombs in Littlebourne, Kingstone, Ickham, Barham, and Canterbury.

Hi Matt

I've got transcriptions of Molash & Boughton Aluph parish registers.

Hi Matt

Hi Betty

That's great. Would you mind looking for the following for me?

In Boughton Aluph I'm looking for the following:

Baptism of Jane Clark/Clerk late 16th century  (possibly 1580s). She married Matthew Dod in Kennington in 1607. He was born in Boughton Aluph in 1582. I would also be greatful if you had any info on Jane's siblings or her parents marriage if you find her.

I am also after the following in Boughton Aluph

Christening of Robert Dod/Dodd c1545. His parents are supposedly John and Avis Dodd. If you find Robert can you see if you can find John's marriage (I'd say try c1535-1545) and his christening (possibly 1500-1525).

Christening of Anne Gray - she married Robert Dod/Dodd in Kennington in 1571 so may be from there but I'd be greatful if you could check for a birth of her c1540-1555

I'm aslo looking for a woman with the unusual name of Lusbeth Kenneth born in about the 1730s. She married George Baldock in Boughton Aluph in 1760. I believe she was probably born c1739 and he was born c1736. I'd be greatful if you could find a baptism for either of these two between 1720-1745.

George and Lusbeth's daughter Mary Baldock married Nicholas Jordan in Molash in 1785. I would be interested to know if you are able to find a christening for Nicholas in Molash (possibly between 1750-1781).

Thanks
Matt

Hi Mat,

I have access to Whitstable PRs.   Let me know what you are after!

Thanks for that Yvonne.

Ok now the bad news - the name I'm looking for is Smith! Don't know how many Smiths are in the PRs but hope it's not hundrereds.

Here's what I'm after

Marriage of Richard Smith and Elizabeth c1782 (maybe earlier)

Richard and Elizabeth had the following children:

Sarah (Jan 1782 Whistable)
Elizabeth (November 1782 Whitstable)
Mary Ann (May 1786 Whitstable)
Richard (April 1788 Whitstable)
Thomas (December 1789 Whitsable)
Nathaniel Shrubsole (1795 Seasalter)

I am also keen to find out if they had any other children before Elizabeth and when Richard and Elizabeth died.

According to the IGI there is a Richard Smith marrying an Elizabeth Thrabsole in Faversham in March 1782 and I wondered if this could be them? Could Thrabsole be a mistrascription of Shrubsole? Given that it is Nathaniel's middle name I am thinking this may be his mother's maiden name. By the way in 1820 Nathaniel married Sarah Chambers of Faversham. Here parents were James Chambers and Sarah Shrubsole!

If you can find Richard Smith's birth as well it would be a great help.

Anyhow that's all for now.
Thanks again

Matt

Oops, I though I had answered this, but I've just found my notes & I appear to have started looking & for some reason didn't finish.
I'm looking now

Oh dear, it's hardly worth waiting for.

The Baptisms I have for Boughton Aluph are from 1558 to 1870, All Saints.
There are Clark/e baptisms (no Clerk) but nothing for Jane.
There are Dod/Dodd baptisms, but, again, nothing for Matthew.
Robert Dod/Dodd  would be too early.

Anne Gray would also be too early, but there are no GRAY/GREY baptisms at all.

I've found Lusbeth's marriage, (down as KENNETT)
There are Kennett/Kennet/Kenet baptisms, but nothing for Lusbeth.
There are Baldock baptisms, but nothing for George.
Perhaps there was another church in Boughton Aluph.

The only Nicholas Jordan in Molash was baptised in 1811.
These records are for St Peter's church.

Oh well thanks for checking these. I have these entries so thanks for confirming there are no others. Perhaps these people were from other parishes.

Hello MattD30,

I can clarify, correct and expand your information concerning Smith/Shrubsole marriage at Faversham:

According to the IGI there is a Richard Smith marrying an Elizabeth Thrabsole in Faversham in March 1782 and I wondered if this could be them? Could Thrabsole be a mistrascription of Shrubsole?

Indeed, this was a mistranscription.  The entry reads:
Groom:  SMITH   Richard   
Bride:  SHRUBSOLE   Elizabeth   
Event:  M   12 March 1782 - by banns      
Place:  Faversham   
Witnesses:  Samuel Shrubsole, John Holloway
Sources:  PR, AD

I am also keen to find out if they had any other children before Elizabeth...

I believe the marriage above to be the correct couple at Whitstable as there are no children baptised at Faversham.  It also appears that Elizabeth, the daughter, born during 1782, would have been the first child of the couple, if the ones from Faversham are correct.  You would need to find a settlement/removal for the couple at Whitstable to verify the connection to Faversham or a Will of one of the parents to help tie it all together.

...when Richard and Elizabeth died.

There is no appropriate burial at Faversham for either Richard or Elizabeth at any time between 1794 and 1863. So burial is possibly at Whitstable or Seasalter.

Elizabeth Shrubsole is likely this child:
Child:  SHRUBSOLE   Elizabeth   
Event:  C 22 Feb   1761   
Parents:  Nathaniel/Elizabeth   
Place:  Faversham   
Source:  BT

I am basing this on the fact that this couple also had a Samuel at Faversham during 1760.  But, I have to add a cautionary note:  There is also a couple at Chartham - Nathaniel and Mary, who also have a Samuel and an Elizabeth just a few years previous to the two mentioned above. 

The Shrubsoles of Faversham do track back to the couple at Chartham, who, in turn, originated in Faversham.  It is quite a tangled web of people.

I have more, but will put it on separate postings to keep all of the information straight.

Sincerely,
Zacktyr
