Daniel Lindsell birth 1773 Bocking or Braintree

[kms1974]

Does anyone have access to the parish records of Bocking (St Mary's) and Braintree (St. Michael the Archangel) before 1800?  I am looking for the birth of Daniel Lindsell (sometimes spelt Linsell, Lyndsel, Lyndsell) who was born in 1773, married Mary Cook in 1798 and died in 1823.  Are there any details of his birth, the names of his parents, and any brothers or sisters?  Thanks, Kathy.

His marriage to Mary is on findmypast, but the surname is spelt Linzell-married in Bocking.  On IGI there is a Daniel Linsell born 2/1/1779 Eld Lane Baptist, Colchester, Essex. This is probably his baptism, but it is written on the birth line. Father Daniel Linsell, Mother Sarah. This is an extracted version, so should be correct.
regards.

Thanks everyone for the Colchester records.  I wondered whether he came to Braintree and Bocking from elsewhere in Essex, but the birth date we were always given was 1773 (although I've found people then often had a very vague idea of their age).  Are there really NO Lindsells at that time in the Braintree and Bocking records who might have had a Daniel, or closer to Braintree than Colchester?  There do seem to be Lindsells everywhere in Essex.  He spelt his name Lyndsell in his marriage and also his youngest child Charles was spelled Lyndsell.  Regards, Kathy.

This will probably rule out the 'Colchester' Daniel  - burial of Daniel Linzell  6 May 1829 aged 49  (c. 1779/80) . Parish of abode - St James. Colchester, Essex. Lion Walk Independent Meeting House Colchester Essex. Looks like he stayed in the Colchester area..

Thanks for that information.  Where you say that IGI has William Lindsell and Elizabeth Brewster as parents of Daniel, which Daniel were you referring to, the 1750 one or the 1773 one I was looking for, because if it was the 1750 Daniel then his ?brother William Lindsell who married Susanna Chinery at Braintree in 1772 could be likely parents of the Daniel Lindsell of 1773, or have I read it wrongly?  I am beginning to wonder if the absence of Daniel Lindsell in the Church of England records does indicate Non-Conformist (although all the later marriage and children and grandchildren of our 1773 Daniel in Braintree were all Church of England.

In a previous post you asked if there were Lindsells in Braintree c. 1770.

There were at least two, brothers William & Daniel.

We hava a marriage for William, witnessed by his brother(?)  Daniel.

No marriage yet found for Daniel.

But either of these would be suitable age to be father to Daniel in 1773.

1773 Daniel may have been baptised in any of the surrounding villages.
Or not at all.


IGI entry refers to birth of Daniel in 1750.
