Keremhoppuch Payton

[jenni50]

In 2005 under the heading 2005 RootsChat Challenge there was a discussion of unusual first names.

EmilySiobhan mentioned that she had a  Keremhoppuch Payton in her tree. I think I may have come across this person too as witness to an ancestor's marriage. Have only just figured out how to decipher the hand writing. 

I think she was Keren-Happuch (Old Testament name) Parrott or Parratt in 1821 at St Mary Lambeth. Then I saw that she was buried in the same parish in 1831 aged 44 years. Does anyone who of this person? I'm wondering if she is some relation to my great X3 grandmother Maria Esther Lavis whose marriage to Thomas Bryan she witnessed on 18 Oct 1821.

Valda!!!
 
That is magnificent!! Probably KerenHappuch Bryan is a sister of Thomas Bryan who married maria Esther Lavis. The first breakthrough in the Bryan brickwall in absolutely ages!
You are a miracle worker!
Thank you

Hi Dawn,

thanks for the update, I hope she does. I didn't even know that I had any other family members. Just met a 3rd cousin for the first time on the weekend.

Thanks,

Roland

Where I live  there is a small back street ,Kerrenhappuch Street.
Tradition has it that it was the name of a cat belonging to the
Grant family from Speyside who settled in the town and began their textile industry here.
They were Scottish Presbyterians,and built mills and a church etc.
For their time they were considered very philanthropic and Dickens is supposed to have based his characters "The Cheeryble brothers" on them.
Obviously the cat was named after the Kerrenhappuch from the Bible.

Hi Dawn, Roland, Viktoria..
Yes, I am around. Pleased to see others with the Keren-Happuch name in their tree. Not quite sure how my Keren-happuch Bryan relates to Keren-happuch Payton though. My Keren-happuch married a John Parrott in London in 1810 although she came from Yardley Hastings in Northamptonshire.

Evidently Keren-Happuch means "horn of antimony" in Hebrew. Antimony ... was formerly used as an eye cosmetic (eye shadow). A hollowed animal horn could have been used to store this material. Keren-Happuch is the name of the third daughter of Job in the Old Testament. (www.behindthename.com/name/keren01happuch)
Have you done DNA Dawn?
