Charles RICKWOOD circa 1793.

[tazzie]

  Hi ....

  Can anyone please tell me is the Beta site on LDS complete for Mildenhall baptisms?

 I have a Charles Rickwood b@1793 ...who in 1851 census living in Fordham Cambs gives birth place as Mildenhall.
 There was at this time a Charles & Syriah/ Cyriah Rickwood baptising children
  A Burgess born in 1795 bapt in 1809
    Spot... a daughter ? in 1790
  Hannah in 1788
  Mary Ann & Philip in 1780
 The dates leave gaps between but no clues. Also a John & Elizabeth with children.
 Charle smarried Mary Hills in Mildenhall in 1818.

  Thanks

I couldn't see a marriage for John  and Elizabeth.
Also I'm sure there were probably more baptisms but the above were all that I could pick out.

 Hello Ribbo & Annes....

  Thank you for those details...

  I have been searching for Charles for a while now and he looks to be an ongoing case.
 The Charles who dies aged 49 in 1864 shows born Mildenhall  in 1851 census with mother Ann.
 The Charles born 1789 to John & Elizabeth is still alive in 1851 census stating born  Livermere Parva.
 I found the  births on the LDS site but wondered if they were complete and its seem they are.
 I have not yet come across James & Eleanor so I wonder if they are possibles.
  Need to grab my old paper work and have another long look at this.

  Thanks

Hi Tazzie

Did you ever manage to get to the bottom of this rather elusive Charles? I think he maybe a red herring in our research, but here is where we are:

James Rickwood married Eleanor Cook (amongst others) and had various children including George (1790 - where our line descends from) but many trees seem to have a brother Charles, who doesn't appear to have been born anywhere. There is a Charles with a Lt. Livermere birth on the censuses would tie him in with George and the other children in this James and Eleanor line.

Also, these trees have Charles marrying Mary Hills, but we think he may actually have been married to Martha Steward in Ampton in 1815, with George Rickwood as a witness. Martha was from Lt. Livermere also.

So, how has anyone tied Charles to George as a sibling? How have they may the connection to
Mary Hills rather than Martha?

Can you shed any light?

Thanks

 Hi
 I am still looking to solve this one...
 I have a Susan/Susannah Rickwood who marries John williamson Paddle/Pattel.
 In 1851 her birth place is given as Barton Mills @1829
 Her baptism lists her father as Charles Rickwood
 Some trees show that she infact married Arthur Osborne but she lists birth place as Timworth on 1861 census but I think she is the daughter of Robert and Matilda Rickwood.
 This means they have stolen my 3x great nan.
 My Charles appears with Mary as a wife on the census and as yet have not be able to prove his birth and parents or siblings.
 There seems to be 2 Charles on 1851 census one in Ampton b 1789 and mine in Fordham born 1793 in Mildenhall.

Ahh, yes. Definitely agree on the 2, and the consequent split between Mary's, Martha's etc! It is so bizarre that neither has a baptism record! How frustrating.
