KING Family - St Hilary

[David1949]

Hi Jean

Thanks for the reply.

Looking forward to hearing of your progress. Are you a King by birth or marriage ?

I am in Yorkshire. My gt gt grandfather moved North from St Hilary to work in coal mining in Co Durham.

Hi David

It is my husband who is descended from the King family.  His grandmother was a King from St Hilary.  If you send me your e-mail address I will let you have the details (I haven't worked out yet how to send a private message!).

                                                                                                 Hi,
    I'm looking for information on John King who married Charlotte Courtis @ St. Hilary 17 January 1853. He was a widower: no age given ; Father James (am assuming parents were James King and Mary Pascoe---so born 13 Jan 1805)
    John and Charlotte had children in 1854 and 1857.
Charlotte was listed as widow on the1861 Census. The only John buried in the interim (May 1860) was 50.
   Who were his parents? his first wife? When did he die?
   Hope somebody can help!
   Thanks,
     "Blue Heron"

I am not sure if this will help.

John KING son of Thomas & Grace, 08th. April, 1810.

Thanks,Daisy May,
but "my" John's father was James (per his marriage certificate)

Hello

This is just circumstantial.

In 1851 the only widowed John King is living at Higher Downs, St Hilary with children Nancy (Age 16) Mary (Age 12) and John (Age 10)

According to IGI the Mother of these children is Susanna (No Surname)

According to IGI there are also two other children Catherine (b 1832) and another Mary (b 1836)

Also in IGI John King of St Hilary marries Jane Susanna Sowden on 6 Apr 1832 at Maker Parish Church

In St Hilary Parish records, Susan King of Higher Downs is buried on 21 May 1849 (Cause of death - Dropsy)

In 1861 two of John & Susanna's children (John and Mary) are unmarried and lodging with another family

Also in 1851 Charlotte Curtis is unmarried and living in Relubbus Lane with a Nephew.

As I say this is only circumstantial but it may be of some use.
