COMPLETE - HACKETT in Marston-upon-Dove

[skarm]

Greetings,

If anyone has access to Marston-upon(on)-Dove parish records and would be willing to do me a favor I'd be most appreciative.

I am looking for two Baptism records:

Robert HACKETT, born c 1785
Mary HACKETT, born c 1791

I know the IGI has Marston records, but I am quickly losing faith in them. They have numerous Archers, but no Hacketts even though I "know" said records should be there as the Hacketts were a large family in the area. Additionally, an Archer who married a Hackett is missing:

Ann ARCHER, born c 1793

I have to believe that the records submitted are either incomplete, or not a pure extract. Or maybe they are correct and we wont find the above Hacketts.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

hi Mike,

There are no baptisms for Robert or Mary at marston.

Robert hackett married ann archer on the 12-12-1814 by licence.
no parents mentioned.
witnesses humphrey archer/sarah archer.

Hrm. The plot thickens. I knew of the marriage, but not the witnesses. The fact that Humphrey Archer witnessed strongly suggests that Ann Archer was another sibling of Humphrey, and thus of my ancestor Thomas.

Oh Hacketts. Where art thou?

Thank you very much!

who is Thomas

do you mean Thomas Archer who married mary Hackett with witnesses Ann archer and Robert hackett.

who is Thomas

do you mean Thomas Archer who married mary Hackett with witnesses Ann archer and Robert hackett.

I'm sorry. Yes, that's the Thomas. He was Baptized 1785 to another Thomas, and was the eldest sibling of Humphrey (and several others). Said Thomas is the one that married the Mary Hackett I had you search for. That was more of a comment to myself than to anyone. Is there a Baptism of Ann Archer c1793? All of Ann's siblings have their Baptisms recorded there except for Ann, it seems.

Edit: I'm wrong. For the Archer family I have:

Thomas 1785 - married Mary Hackett (1791)
John 1786
Samuel 1787
Isaac 1789
Humphrey 1790
?? Ann ?? 1793
?? Robert ?? 1796
Sarah 1800

I cannot locate Baptisms for Ann and Robert Archer. The family only resided in Hatton and Hoon Hay farm, both in Marston-upon-Dove...

For the Hacketts:

Robert 1785 - married Ann Archer (1793)
Mary 1791 - married Thomas Archer (1785)
Thomas 1794 - Oddly married in Birmingham to a lady whose family is from Cornwall.
James 1796

I am probably missing Hacketts, but I cannot find where they Baptised their children apparently. I know that the above Hacketts are likely the grandchildren of Sampson Hackett who married in the 1740s to Ellen Williamson and resided in Hatton. Sampson was a family name, and quite unique.

no Ann.

Oh dear its always the important one missing.

[skarm]

no Ann.

Oh dear its always the important one missing.

So it is.

So that means the IGI extract likely is complete.  I am willing to bet that if I find where Ann and Robert Archer were Baptized I'll find where the Hacketts were baptized.

I thank you very much for your help and prompt replies. I am going to label this complete because my problem is apparently not one to do with Marston PRs but trying to find out where my families decided to run off to in the late 1790s

Thanks again!

Mike

Bye and good luck.

I live in Australia. I married the great grand daughter of an Anne Hackett "from Leicestershire". Anne made a stitched painting now destroyed in which she said that she was Anne Hackett Leicestershire 1840 aged 11, i.e., born 1827-1828. Her daughter's Australian death certificate cites Anne Hackett as her mother and her father as Thomas Halford Calvert. The 1881 Census on the IGI cites Anne Calvert a widow (Thomas Calvert died in 1871) living in Yorkshire with the Angel family. She stated that she was born in Ashby. The IGI shows an Anne Hackett born 1827, daughter of Robert Hackett and Ann (Archer?). Family myths claim that Anne descended from the Earl of Ferrers "who murdered his butler and was hung by a silken cord". The Earl of Ferrers murdered his Steward, ie Estate Manager (a butler and a steward are similar employments in the Australian dialect!). He was actually hanged wearing a silk suit. I have located the Earl's children and grandchildren and they don't seem to match. The Earl of Ferrers lived next door to Samson Hackett. Perhaps the myths cite the wrong member of the Ferrers family. Can anyone enlighten a huge number of Hackett of Ashby descendants here in Australia?
