Hannah Eversden 1711-1747

[Yorkyboyl]

 I am looking for more details concerning this person who was born and buried in Toft, Cambridgeshire, and married to a Joseph Harper in 1732 in Potton, Bedfordshire. In particular her parents. I believe her father was William Eversden (1671-1734), but there were several 'Williams' in the family and although I have a marriage to a Mary Danker, this could be 1700 or 1721, depending which one she married. Could anyone please help with the mother of Hannah, if it be Mary or someone else.
Thanks, Brian

ps the only marriage I can spot id William Eversdon and Mary Tyrrell at Tharston Norfolk 4.7.1699 which is a bit far but could be them.

Some trees have William marrying Mary Danker, born 1677.

Others have William, born in 1700, marrying Mary Danker who was baptised in nearby Bourn in 1703, daughter of Peter and Elizabeth.

No further evidence of any Eversdens in Norfolk after 1699, so it could be them in 1699.

The trees have Mary's birth as 1677, and there was a Mary Tyrrell baptised in 1677 in Fritton, five miles from Tharston.

Thanks for the responses, I have visited Toft church and seen in person the headstones there, also spoken to the rector there, a lady who is also the local historian and very helpful. The rector mentioned that the parish records show William’s wife Mary was his second wife !….did he marry two Mary’s?, but there does not seem to be any mention of his wife’s maiden name(s). The dates for a marriage in Norfolk would fit the bill, but although the Eversden family were wealthy landowners, I don’t see any connection to Norfolk. I have a copy of William’s (1671) will, which I have managed to transcribe about 98%, but as his wife died in 1726, she doesn’t get a mention. I’ll keep digging but any other info is more than welcome,
Thanks, Brian

Children are on FreeREG and there are 8 of them to William/Wm and Mary 1701-1712;

There are 2 Williams 1701 and 1712/3
1st William was buried 21 Aug 1701 parents noted

So unlikely William 1700 could have married!

Most are birth dates not baptisms as note below clarifies;

'These children of Mr Eversden were put in here at his request. N.B. They were put in only as born not as baptised. They were born at Eversden and baptised (I suppose) by a Dissenting Minister' T. Metcalfe, Rector

I also see Marys burial 1726 and Williams 1734/5.

There is also a William buried 01 Aug 1737, Esq, Age 24, Bachelor*
So the Son born 1712?

EDIT;
Marriages of Daughters are Little Eversden;

Sorry if you already have all of this

Sarah Mrs EVERSDEN
William Mr WOODHAM 4 Jul 1727 Cambridgeshire   Little Eversden : St Helen
Elizabeth Mrs EVERSDEN
Isaac Mr COXAL    14 Jan 1728/9   Cambridgeshire   Little Eversden : St Helen

There were two William Eversdens, one in 1700, the son of Joshua and Alice, and the one in 1701, the son of William and Mary.

The trees have the son of Joshua and Alice marrying Mary Danker.
