Hi,

I have a Thomas WAITE married to an Elizabeth BENNET on 26 Mar 1810
Fulbeck, Lincolnshire, England. Can anyone find any record of either one's parents?

Thanks,
Rose-Twig

Thanks Geoff!

Can I ask where you found this information?

I have an index, but you may find it worthwhile searching at http://freereg.rootsweb.com/cgi/Search.pl

Hi Rose
I may have found the parents of Thomas if the ages are correct
I found the Christening of a Thomas Waite 31st August 1790
at St Peter and St Paul Church, Skendleby, Lincs. Parents
Thomas and Leitia Waite. They also had 2 more children around
the same time called Sussana and Mary. Dont know if you know of
any other of the siblings names?
I found only 2 Eliz BenneTTs .
One was baptised 16th June 1783 and her parents were William
and Rose. The other one was earlier 27th Jan 1777 her Dad was William also but no Mum mentioned.
I also found the wedding of Thomas and Elizabeth as you mentioned
in 1810 but his name is spelt WAIT with no e on the end. It does make
it harder doing the searching when they keep spelling the names differently
lol.
Hope this of help for you
regards Sandymc

Hi Sandy,

The other information I have about Thomas and Elizabeth is as follows:

WAITE, Thomas
b. 1786
d. 11 Nov 1835
m. Bennet, Elizabeth
26 Mar 1810
Fulbeck, Lincolnshire, England
d. 19 Feb 1851

(Perhaps WAITE is without an E - a friend passed the marriage deatils onto me, so I'm not sure where he got them from)

BENNET, Elizabeth
b. 1786
d. 19 Feb 1851

Children - William, Thomas, Sarah, Elizabeth, John, George and Isabella (my direct ancestor).

Unfortunately, I don't have the names of either Thomas or Elizabeth's siblings, so I'm unable to confirm the links based on that.

With regards to the Christening and Baptisms - what would be a safe distance of time between birth and Christening to assume the link is correct???

Thanks for your help so far,
Rose-Twig

Hi Rose
You ask how long before a Christening - well - lol - it could be anytime.  I would imagine it was based on how much money they had or if they were over religious?  I am sure you had to pay a few pence in those days for Church services and maybe they didnt do the blessing when they were babes in arms? Only surmising here but one thing I noticed about the years of the DOB, they are covered by the 5 years that the census had to cover ages as alot of people didnt know the dates etc so when they started doing the census they could go 5 years either way to cover ages. People were uneducated and couldnt read or write so the 5 years does cover both your relatives and the christenings I have found.
Maybe someone else reading this might help further but I would think this could be agood chance they are your relatives.

I think I agree with you Sandy.

Thank you Geoff and Sandy for all your help.
