parents of Mary Grimwood (abt 1767- 1834)

[Macj99]

I am trying to identify the parents of Mary Grimwood born about 1767 In Wattisham, Suffolk, mother of Robert Grimwood (1787-1839) Mary married Thomas Everett in 1789 In Kersey, Suffolk and Roberts name then appears as Robert Grimwood Everett. I have looked at locations, patterns in families etc and still struggling as so many Grimwoods. Thomas and Mary went on and had several children which I am aware off. But would like to follow the Grimwood line back a bit more. any help, suggustions grateful for. many thanks

Where did you find Marys place of birth.

Could you please name their children and Roberts parents as it may help eliminate Marys baptism

FREEREG has the transcript of the marriage of Thos Everett to Mary Grimwood in 1789, 4th December. Marital statuses not given but both of Kersey. Witnesses Thos Sheercroft and John Parsons. Groom and witness 2 sign, others mark.

You may have found this already but a Robert Grimwade was baptised in 1776 in Kersey, son of Robert and Ann. No Mary Grimwade/Grimwood baptisms can be found c1760-1775 in Kersey but she may have been born elsewhere and the family moved to Kersey by 1776. You say your Mary Grimwood had a son Robert as well.

The will also mentions Thomas' brother Isaac Everett and Isaac's wife Elizabeth, although I doubt they would be connected to the Grimwood side. Will was witnessed by J P Leake and John Sharmen.
