Rachel Mee

[Miss1948]

Hello,
Does anyone have a Rachel Mee in their family history?  My Rachel was born in 1739 in Eastwood Notts and married Paul Brown, born c1735.  I don't know the dates of the marriage, but they had at least one child, Samuel Brown, born around 1762.  Other than this, I have no information.
Thanks.

Am I crazy or dates dont add up?
Rachel born c 1739 and Paul c 1735 and Marrying in 1735!

I can see the Marriage is right but are the Birth dates??

A Paul BROWN Marries a Ann MEE, 13 Sept 1783, St Mary ( I presume this is Paul Jnr, born c 1750 according to F/S.Org)
(Marriage on FreeREG)

Hmmm........thanks everyone.  You're right Trish, the dates don't add up.  According to my records Paul & Rachel married and had a son Samuel (I'm sure there were more too) who married Elizabeth Carlin (born c1770?) they had at least one child, Phillis Brown (born c1792) who married John Leatherland (1791-1855).

I have no idea if this is all true except I'm pretty sure about John Leatherland.
Carol, you mention that Rachel and Paul had 9 other children, so when were Rachel and Paul born, do you know?  Also, could you give me the other children's names?
Thanks again.

Carol,
You are a star - thank you so much.  I was in the process of posting a message to admit that yes, the birthdates of Paul & Rachel were incorrect.  They had been 'guesstimated' - oops!
Can I ask you where you are finding all this information?  I don't live in the UK so can't go and look through parish records or graveyards etc.  Much as I would like to.
Thanks again.

Hi

Sorry I ought to have said where the information was from.

The Nottinghamshire Family History Society have produced several CD's of Baptisms, Marriages & Burials.  Well worth buying if you tracing Notts ancestors. Take a look at their website.
