St Leonards Shoreditch 1801

[Gypsy Scholar]

Looking for witnesses to marriage of Joseph Beasley and Susannah Davis at St Leonards Shoreditch 15 Feb 1801. Could anyone help?

Looks like Henry Arnold and Ann Barn to me.

Both signed with a cross

That's interesting. Thank you Lily. I was hoping for a hint as to Susannah's parentage.
Thanks for the speedy response.

Have you found Susannah's birthplace on any census? Using that you might be able to find a baptism.

Modified:  realised parents unlikely to be with her on census....oops.....I'm blaming the weather.

I was going to suggest the same as nanny jan.

There are quite a few Susan*a* Davis baptisms in the London area, so without some extra clues such as finding a parish or place of birth on a census, it will be difficult to work out which, if any, might be your Susannah.

Do you have her death or burial? Does it tell you her age?

My Greatx3 grandmother baptised in Coventry. Beasleys came from Foleshill.  I will see what i can find from census. Joseph died about 1826. Her daughter and son migrated to Oz in 1840.

Who is your 3x great grandmother?
Whose son and daughter emigrated to Australia?

Susannah Beasley nee Davis is my greatx3 grandmother. I have had her marriage 1801 to Joseph Beasley based on the Shoreditch entry. I wish to ascertain that I have the right one and who her parents were. Joseph Beasley died in about 1826. If she is on the 1841 census in England she may be with daughter Hannah or Susannah as her other 2 children left England in 1840. She would be in Coventry or Foleshill Warwickshire. I've asked our family history group if anyone has a census record for her.

My Greatx3 grandmother baptised in Coventry.

Susannah Beasley nee Davis is my greatx3 grandmother.

This is confusing!  Do you have Susannah Davis' baptism in Coventry, or did you mean to say that a child of hers was baptised in Coventry?
