[willsy]

Wits John and Sarah Squire

Have you found this record?

1851

John born Lockington and Elizabeth with gdau Harriett,

John as c1785
Elizabeth 1788

I forgot to add that I think the ages are way out; Harriett is not with Phoebe either but age12 is pushing it!

Baptism
Loughborough, All Saints 2 Dec 1827
Harriett Adkin mother Phoebe

Looking at the will, I wondered if the second daughter mentioned to Dorothy is Ann Lockwood; written next to my late cousin it looks like Ann squashed next to it and the will bequeaths to her 4 children. I have had a look at another will and the way Lockwood is written, it is not unlike the way it is written in this will.

Just a guess

Ann Adkin married Thomas Lockwood 30 Nov 1807, Loughborough, All Saints
Wits Joseph Webster (might be a Clerk)
Isaac Spencer

Children
Loughborough, All Saints
Ann 11 Mar 1810
John, Thomas, William all bap. 12 Aug 1816

There is a burial for an Ann Lockwood c1788 Loughborough, All Saints 13 Jan 1823

I compared the Lockwood surname to a Thomas Lockwood 1842 Pcc will Leicester if it helps.

Hi Willsy,

Not long after I posted it suddenly came to me that it was probably Lockwood as the 'Lock' in Lockington was also similar.  I think there was another child as William died 1820, unless John Swift didn't know, but the 4th isn't obvious.

I used AI to try to decipher the name of the Squires in the will and it suggested Grace as the daughter of Dorothy Adkin.  Also the cousin from Castle Donnington looks like Thomas *orth.

Re John and Sarah Squire.  IF they are John Squire and Sarah Webster who married in 1794 and resided at Woodthorpe, they both signed their MC.  The John and Sarah who witnessed the A*kin marriage both marked.

Yes, the ages in record for John, Elizabeth, And Harriet A*kin are very out for all of them.   It does look them though.

Many thanks,

bitzar

Even more confusing 

burial for a William Adkin son of John and Doratha 29 Mar 1812 Woodhouse

Willsy,

I came across this burial record yesterday.  I did not have a baptism for a William, s/of John and Dorothy.  He is not mentioned in the removal order of 1789 from Diseworth to Thorpe Acre.  Isn't it a bit unusual for the cleric to mention he was the s/of if he wasn't a child?  Maybe he still resided with his parents?!

I have also just found a 1836/7 will of John Swift of Lockington.  John's mother was Mary Joyce 1748-1768, sister of Dorothy Adkin.  His will mentions many of his cousins by his uncle Robert Joyce, and a cousin whose name I can't decipher from Castle Donnington as well as children of his late aunt Dorothy Adkin including _______ (maybe Grace, I can't decipher it) Squires who I cannot place.

Mant thanks,

bitzar.

The relatives that I couldn't decipher, I now believe to be:

cousin Thomas North of Castle Donington (I haven't worked out this relationship yet).

Mary Squire, one daughter of Dorothy Adkin of Loughborough (Mary born Diseworth 24 Jan 1778 and named on the Removal order to Thorpe Acre in 1789.  No marriage to be found to Squire/Squires).

I thought it was the North surname and did look a couple of nights ago thinking of John Swift's age; if I remember right there is a Thomas North marriage c 1760 to a Joice (surname).

I just can't go from A*tkin to SquiresSquire!

Willsy,

Ok yes found it 1780.  Thomas North and Elizabeth Joice.  Eliz about 35.  Found one son John c1783.  There is a Thomas on the 1841 the right age but can't connect him yet.

Mary Squire, still a mystery.

Many  thanks.
