William French

[popkiwi]

I am looking for the birth details of William French b abt 1810 and married Hannah Rose in Long Itchington in 1932.

I have his parents as John French and Elizabeth Clarke b abt 1780, but not known where or when born or married.

I have 14 children for William and Hannah, 8 of whom died in infancy.

Hi Evan,

Parents, JOHN and ELIZABETH
He is the only one on the Batch

Marriage;
William FRENCH
Hannah ROSE 22 March 1832, Itchington, Warwick, England

Someone has a SUBMITTED record of William/Hannah most of it confusing but they have the marriage as William Clarke French and him dying abt 1851.

JOHN 1833
SARAH 1849
THOMAS 1849
Of Bascote Cottage, Long Itchington, Southam, Warwick

Hannah ROSE, christened 24 January 1813, Bishops Itchington

Hi Trish - thanks for this info, it was most informative.
As you said, it is very sad. Of the 6 children who lived beyond infancy Hannah born 1838 was my 2xGreat Grandmother. Her daughter Hannah also had two Hannahs, the first died obviously. The 2nd was my Great Grandmother who at my Mothers wedding gifted mum with a fancy cup, saucer and plate set. Mum gave that to me just before she died and I am very thrilled to still have it and able to pass it down after me.

Your last entry on William Rose - I have, from Hugh Wallis IGI, his birth as 17/06/1792 in Rowington.
I'm not sure which of these is correct.
Regards - Evan

Hi - Now that I have Williams details, I am after his father, John French's details. I have him born about 1772 married to Elizabeth Clarke 1802 and with 2 children, Ann 1802 and William 1810 - which seems a very large gap between births. - Evan

Hi popkiwi
my husband descends from John French & Elizabeth Clarke. They were married at Haversham Buckingham 1802 & had 5 children -
Ann 1802 b Haversham Bucks d Long Itchington Warwickshire 1830
Phillis 1806  b. Bradwell Bucks
Sarah abt 1808 b Haversham? m Thomas Green at Long Itchington Warw
William Clarke 1810 b Bradwell Bucks
Hannah 1814 possibly Bradwell Bucks, m James Beers, d 1899 Bubbenhall Warw (hubby's family)

John French died at Long Itchington Warw 1832 aged 55
Elizabeth French died Long Itchington Warw 1834 aged 58.

I have not been able to find anything further on John French or Elizabeth Clarkes parentage.
