Turnastone marriage - Broade/Lodington 1722
« on: Tuesday 04 October 11 04:49 BST (UK) »
Greetings,

I have found a marriage on the IGI between my ancestor Rev. Thomas Broade, M.A., B.A., rector of Chaldon, Surrey, rector of Turnastone, Herefordshire and rector of Benefield, Northamptonshire, and Ann Lod(d)ington at Turnastone on 13 Oct 1722.

I am, however, wondering if the parish register would glean more information.  I am specifically seeking information regarding his wife Ann Lodington.  I am a descendant of the Lodington family and would like to fit her in as well, especially as it turns out she is also an ancestor.  Any notes on whether she was of the parish, or who the witnesses were, would be most helpful, if indeed such information is shown.  It would also be interesting to know who was officiating the marriage.

Thomas Broade was rector of this parish from 1720 until his death in 1753, so I am especially hoping for more detail than usual.

One of their daughters, Anne Broade, married Thomas Lodington (another ancestor) in 1747 in the Chapel of Somerset House, London.

Kind regards,

Hello James, I was just browsing and came upon your post. One of my research interests was a rector and has a plaque in the church where he officiated and is buried (albeit over a century later than your chap  ;)). This plaque contains quite a lot of extra information. I was just wondering if there may be something similar for your ancestor? Was Ann buried with Thomas?

If you don't have any takers for your lookup request, are you able to order the relevant PR to your local Family History Centre to view it yourself?

Ruskie,

Thanks for the reply.

He was buried at Benefield, Northamptonshire, where he was also a rector.  So it's likely any monumental inscription will be there rather than at Turnastone.  It still maybe worth checking though as I came across some memorials to another family at Turnastone earlier.  I have no idea where his wife was buried as I have only just found her marriage.  I've not discovered any death notice for her on any Google Books either.  The fact she's a Lodington, she may have been buried elsewhere but likely at Benefield as well.

I could always try and find a fiche for that parish, as I have a microfiche reader.  I'm actually only situated in Wiltshire, so I could probably drive to Turnastone and try and take a look in the church.

Best regards,

James, the current rector of the church may be able to tell you if there is a memorial to Thomas in the church (might save you a trip  ;)), or perhaps a gravestone.

These days most churches have a website. Maybe a look at that might reveal something about your Thomas - there may even be a "friends of" the church who can help?

You would expect the church to hold some documentation about him, and hopefully his wife, as he was such a prominent member of the community. Might there be a local history group you can contact?

I know there are some Northamptonshire experts here on RC - I'm sure they'll be along soon to help.

HI James and Ruskie.

There is this burial at Benefield as below.

Benefield C of E

24 Nov 1753
Revd. Mr. Thomas BROADE (rector of this parish)

I haven't taken the graves at the Churchyard yet and the
Northamptonshire Family History Society haven't done the M.I either yet.

as being of Benefield 1754, Revd Francis Broade

Sandy,

Rev. Francis Broade, D.D., rector of Benefield, vicar of Southwick was the son of Rev. Thomas Broade, M.A., rector of Turnaston, Benefield and Chaldon and Ann Lodington.

He was christened 19 November 1723 at St. Anne's Soho and died on 22 October 1791 at Southwick Hall, Southwick, Northamptonshire.  He married Martha Lynn (d. 4 February 1796, Southwick), daughter of George Lynn, F.S.A., of Southwick Hall and his wife Elizabeth Bellamy, daughter of Humphrey Bellamy of London.

George Lynn's brother was Rev. John Lynn, M.A., B.A., vicar of Southwick and it seems Rev. Francis Broade took over from him after his death.

This Rev. Francis Broade is also the sister of Anne Broade who married Thomas Lodington, who is also my ancestor.

So you are indeed correct that Benefield was taken over by a relative, in this case, his son.  As you also notice, he was vicar of Southwick, also in Northamptonshire.

By the way, Rev. Francis Broade and Anne Broade had a sister Mary Broade (chr. 11 October 1726, Benefield, Northamptonshire) who married a Thomas Bradford on 16 July 1749 at Benefield, Northamptonshire.  It could be likely this Thomas Bradford may be of a gentry or clergy family too.  If you happen to come across any reference to him in the registers too, then it would be very much appreciated if you could forward such information onto me.

Thank you for the assistance.

Kind regards,
