King Family of Ellough - Robert King, James King

[kingtree]

Any info on Robert King b. 1735 in Ellough and his father James King b. cir. 1710 probabally in Ellough .

James King was married I think to Rebecca , don't know where, but have no real proof, so any info or Parish record lookup much appreciated.

These entries from the Suffolk Burial Index might be of interest all Ellough, All Saints. Certainly put a family with the names you are interested in in that parish unfortunately no Rebecca


George King buried 9 Nov 1742 son of James & Sarah
Sarah King 23 Nov 1775 wife of James
James King (snr) 16 Jul 1780
George King (of Beccles) 18 Apr 1817 age 72

Only these 4 entries on the SBI in Ellough but plenty of King burials in nearby Beccles going back to 1587

However buried Bungay
Robert KING 23 Mar 1712 son of James & Rebecca.  Bungay, Holy Trinity
Catherine KING 24 Sep 1705 daug of James & Rebecca.  Bungay, St Mary

Again plenty of King burials listed on the SBI in Bungay back to 1562

Thanks Nanny jan and keziah2.

I was hoping to prove Robert King was the son of James King and his wife Sarah Botwright of Bungay. According to familysearch.org he was christened in Ellough along with his siblings Peter,George,George, Charles and Mary. (familysearch ancestral file which could well be incorrect). There are also 2 other possible siblings James and John. 

Robert King buried in Bungay in 1712 must be related somehow along with the other Kings of Bungay.
 
I think Rebecca died in 1738 but not sure where.

Rebecca KING (widow) buried 21 Jun 1736 Bungay Holy Trinity

I looked at the Ellough PR transcript today and can confirm the following baptisms.

All children of James and Sarah King.  No maiden name given beside any of the baptisms.

Robert 16 Oct 1735
Peter 16 March 1738
Charles 26 Mar 1740
George 20 June 1742 - buried 9th November 1742
George 15th Jan 1743
Mary 26th August 1745
William 21st August 1748

No sign of a James or John.

Your most recent post arrived after I'd looked at the site - if I'd seen it I'd have also looked at the Bungay PRs for another James and Sarah King.  The reason being - you think Sarah's maiden name is Botwright but the Ancestry file copied above has Sarah's maiden name as Smith  .  So is there a different James and Sarah baptising children in Bungay maybe?

Also on the Ancestry file it says James was born Ellough 1704 but I couldn't see any evidence of this in the transcript.

Hi Keziah2 and Annes

Thanks for the lookups in Ellough. And burial date for Rebecca.

There is a marriage in PR for Thwaite Norfolk between James King and Sarah Botwright. As Thwaite is less than 5 miles from Bungay I concluded that they were the parents of Robert King etc.
