Emma CREEDY

[krisesjoint]

OK I see Emma in 1861 married to John NUTTY with 3 children living with Emma senior now aged 85 in St John St St Cuthbert. She is still listed as Emma's daughter. RG9/1664 Folio 74 Page 12.

I wonder if this is Emma's marriage

Emma CREEDY = William John MITTEY Jun 1/4 1857 Shepton Mallett 5c 994

He is consistent with the name John throughout the census  entries but I do not see a marriage for a John NUTTY to Emma so I do think the marriage I have outlined is the correct one. (oldest child is 3 in 1861)

The name is entered in this way on the original hand written index but may have been entered wrongly originally. I note from the 1861 entry Emma's infant son is William John NUTTY and her eldest son is Major Joseph NUTTY (Major and Joseph are certainly family names in the family I have outlined above.)

Joseph CREEDY died 26 Apr 1831 and is buried at Well St Cuthbert 2 May 1831. He was aged 59.

there is a baptism for an emma Creedy in Shepton Mallet but its much earlier than I was expecting

DOB 11 Sept 1812
DOBapt 19 Sept 1812
father Joseph Creed
mother Mary

its the only baptism where Joseph is the father

*** just found another baptism with father Joseph
Elizabeth 18 Jul 1819
mother Amey
which makes the age on 1841 very much out if its the same girl


I would be inclined to go through the parish records and note down all the Creedys in Wells and Shepton Mallet and see if you can work out which Emma and Eliza belong to which father, as the ages on the census don't match up with the ages of baptisms and marriages with the father called joseph.

and to put the cat amongst the pigeons

on familysearch pilot site there is this baptism, which is the right time but the wrong father

That is a different Emma. (dau of Joseph and Mary in 1812.) She is aged 25 living with her father in 1841 in Shepton Mallet where she marries in 1846

No cat among the pigeons - that is John and Susan I have mentioned - John is the son of Joseph and Emma. They had a daughter Emma also (1833) she is also listed in 1841 with her parents John and Susan. There is no baptism that I can find for the correct Emma.

Sorry you are confusing me now with this addition I see you have now made to your previous post red. Yes there are several baptisms listed to Joseph and Amy/Amey/Amelia/Emma as I have mentioned - some listed on the IGI and some on the pilot site.

Elizabeth is not Emma or Eliza.  Joseph and Amy/Emma had several children. (The earlier ones baptised in Axbridge the later ones in Wells St Cuthbert) There is no Emma that I can find born about 1826 (she is consistant with her place and date of birth throughout the census entries) The last baptism I have located to Joseph and Emma is for Major in 1821 (which is about what I would expect - mother around 43. Emma was born 5 years later so mother about 48  - mmm - just possible) so even though I have a suspicious nature perhaps Emma really was Emma's last child. (though funny no baptism showing) If I were you Boneman I would go through the St Cuthbert parish records just to be sure it is not there. If you are not able to visit the records office you could hire the register in to your local LDS family history library.

Eliza's baptism in 1830 does match up. She is the daughter of Joseph and Emma's daughter Ann/Nancy

I agree with everything you are saying Kris but I was pointing out there were other possibilities and not to take the census details at face value.

I also found the other Emma, daughter of Nancy, but is Nancy Ann? What proof is there to that?  I have Somerset ancestors and the Nancys I have in that line were also baptised as Nancy.
