How curious claire , I wonder if they were a foundling found at Little Wakering?

Quite possibly. I can't seem to find any more about him - Findmypast doesn't have a baptism or burial for him, or any baptism of his and Hannah's children. The marriage register says "married by license with consent of parent", but I imagine this is Hannah's parent since she is a minor.

His baptism may just be recorded as 'a foundling' in the register. They often state where they were found and who found them.

This might be of interest to some of you. Today I've found loads of burials for my relatives which appear in the Ancestry transcriptions but aren't on Findmypast. I've used exactly the same search terms on both sites, so I'm wondering if some parishes aren't covered on Findmypast.

I'd previously found a few baptisms on Findmypast which weren't on Ancestry, though I managed to find most of them on Ancestry by using wildcards.

So if you haven't already, it's worth searching both sites.

Thanks for that list location I wasn't aware there was one.

Looking at Coggeshall in that lists explains why I couldn't find the marriage of a William Denton to Jane pre 1680, mind you I can't find it on Free Reg, Family Search, Ancestry, The genealogist or the Coggeshall Museum transcripts (they start at 1780).   

On the subject of the Essex Parish Register Index (EPRI) on Ancestry, I have come across some beauties, here's just three.

John Theobald & Hannah Marriage married 7 Apr 1741 Lt Tey, Essex.
EPRI: John Reobald & Hannah Marjays.

Ruth Marriage baptised 19 May 1728 Markshall, Essex
EPRI: Pith Marriage.

Elizabeth Theobald buried 1743 Lt Tey.
EPRI: Elizabeth Theeleld buried 4 Dec 1742 Lt Tey.

I see that pm 9 January 2020 Ancestry have "updated" some of their ERO records (specifically births and baptisms 1813-1918 and marriages 1754-1935).

Since this could mean anthing from one correction to thousands of additional records, does anyone have any indication of what it really means? I have grown tired of looking for missing records when this has happenened before and have never finding a single record I need and am therefore very reluctant to pay for a new subscription and search through all my missing persons again without at least some hope of success.

It says there are now 3,939,834 births etc
And 1,970,323 marriages
All C of E

It is a shame that you cannot view the images on the Essex Ancestry collections. And they have hiked up the prices for SEAX. I still had to take a sub out on SEAX to view records I had found on Ancestry.

Looks like they have added a couple of thousand records to each of those two databases.

Thanks for that. Funnily enough I've just seen an email from yesterday saying that they've added thousands of new records to the Essex collections.

Yeah right, a couple of thousand. Not worth a new subscription for me then.
