Garners Of willingham Cambs

[anneb]

I have a marriage beween Emma Hammond of Haddenham and Philip  Garner of Wilingham in Haddenham on 9th Mar 1847. Philip must have died fairly soon after the marriage as by 1851 Emma is a widow living wih her parents

Hi Anne, Richard Hayden and Elizabeth Parkerson were married at Willingham 26.11.1781. Elizabeth was buried at Willingham 25.11.1831. Richard and Elizabeth were my wifes 4 xgt grandparents. Did you know that Sarah Hayden had an illegitimate daughter, Jane, she was baptised 16.9.1836 at Willingham, was buried 24.9.1836. I did not know she had married a James Hammond.
Have you details of Sarah's siblings? if not I can send them to you. Sarah's brother Parkerson had a criminal record, at one time he was given 7 years transportation, could not have been carried out as he was in Wakefield Goal with 2 other men related to him for stealing Wheat. I have the court records. Perhaps poor Parkerson did not have a good start in life, he was born to Elizabeth 3 years after her husband Richard had died.
Parkerson married a Mary Curby/Kirby at Wilburton 6.10.1828, they had 9 children. Parkerson was buried 1878  and Mary 1875, both at Willingham in Plot 541.
While checking on Elizabeth Hayden's burial I came across the following which may be of help.
William Garner aged 69, Buried 1.3.1831
Thomas Garner aged 34 Buried 6.6.1831.
Edward Garner aged 26, Buried 7.4.1831.
Eliza Garner, aged 10 months buried 13.11.1831. All at Willingham.
Hope this will be of interest to you.
My wife was born at Over, next to Willingham.
Kind Regards,
Kaysy.

Hi Kaysy

Thank you . I already have details of Sarah Hayden's siblings-somebody sent them to me a couple of years ago.I don't think that the Sarah who had an illegitimate baby in 1836 could have been the Sarah who married James Hammond in 1820 as that Sarah was settled in Haddenham and having a string of babies there by then.

My whole family is very complicated.Sarah Hammond's daughter Mary married a neighbour-John Porter and Sarah's son William married John Porter's sister Amy. That branch of the family emigrated in about 1860.

I was born in Haddenham and grew up in a house built by Sarah's grandaughter.A few years ago we walked from the house down to the bridge at Aldreth-it took about 45 minutes. My children refused to go any further which was a pity as I would have liked to carry on to Willingham

Hi Anne, Thanks for the information regarding Sarah, I will cancel the part about her having an illegitimate daughter Jane. Trouble is so many Haydons/ens in Willingham. If at some time to put matters right would it be possible to have the children of James Hammond and Sarah as their children would related to my wife. We live in Wisbech.
I have just been checking Parkerson's court appearances, at one time he was committed with 3 other men, one was a John Hayden in the report he was given 1 year hard labour 3 months solitary, General Remarks  a sly artful man,

Parkerson was aged 48, 9 children, (general Remarks a bad Character) Sentence: 7 years transportation. Labour Pickling Custody before: twice convicted of felony and 4 times for misdemeanour, Discharged 17.4.1851 removed to Wakefield Goal.

They were jailed for stealing 2 coombs of wheat and 2 sacks, the property of Asplen of Willingham.

At one time Parkerson was in Goal and stated he was not married, when he was.
If you wish I could send you the details of their jail sentence's, as an attachment.
Kind Regards,
Kaysy

Hi Kaysy, I’m tracing the history of my house and I have a Harris query for you. My house  used to be owned by a Johnson GARNER (which is how I got your name) but several  Cambridge Records Office Deeds refer to the property as ‘formerly Harrises’ and it sometimes has  ‘before that Ansell’s’ added.  I assume this to be a shop. Do you (as a Harris) have any information on this? Do you have any GARNER / HARRIS / ANSELL  marriages on record for example? There is also a link with NEGUS and also SEARLE.  Steve

Hello everyone

Can anyone help or advise me please?

I am searching for information about an Elizabeth Garner who married a William Stanton in Willingham 13/10/1800.    The only thing I can see on the IGI site for her and which looks particularly relevant is the "mass" christening of some, Garner children 6/10/1790 in Willingham apparently to parents John Garner & Elizabeth Shinn.  An alternative record for this suggests the parents were William Garner & Elizabeth.

I believe that William Stanton & Elizabeth Garner are the parents of my David Stanton who was apparently born in Willingham sometime between 1813 & 1820.   I cannot find any record of this baptism or birth but I gave seen the christenings of Jane 1808, Rebecca 1808 & Elizabeth 1810 in Willingham to parents William Stanton & Elizabeth.

It seems fairly certain that all our Garners from Willingham must connect somehow.

Thank you.

Regards

Mick

Hi

I am also descended from Richard Hayden and Elizabeth Parkerson.  Think we had contact a few years ago about Sarah Hayden and James Hammond.  I don't have a daughter Jane for her out of wedlock either.  There are interesting records at TNA Kew on John Hayden (my ancestor), Parkinson and the others which give their descriptions etc for that crime in the PCOM series.  Parkinson appears as Parkwood!

Now does anyone know of a connection between the Haydens of Willingham and Isleham?  Someone has William Hayden born there in 1695 who married Elizabeth Few 1714?? I thought these Haydens were of Willingham stock through and through?  When was William born then, I thought it was in Willingham 1685?  Any ideas of this lineage backwards in time?
