William ROUNCE b 1793? Norfolk or Suffolk

[coombs]

You could try settlement examinations or apprenticeship records for Essex for any Rounce's. Tracing the witnesses to the marriage can be useful, they were often relatives but also they were often friends or neighbours or church officials, but friends of ancestors can help, if they both originated somewhere and moved together for work.

From my experience, I have found quite a lot of Suffolk to Essex migration in my tree.

There aren't any Rounces in the index to poor law settlement papers, 1574-1865 on FS, at any rate.

The marriage was at Gravesend St George, 10 July 1825

Both of the Parish. William and Elizabeth both signed.
Humpage was a regular witness. John Fretton was not, probably he was from the Thurrock area.

Sadly they haven't digitised the banns register.

Have you considered this baptism:

William Rouse, 13 Feb 1791, Gravesend St George, parents William & Sarah. (Previous entry looks like a brother, Robert.)

It might be worth having a look for any other family members in the brickmaking industry. I have a family line full of brickmakers, they also seem to migrate between brickfields, I have them in various locations including north-west Kent, south-east London, all the way to Ware in Hertfordshire.

Thankyou ktk8
I shall have a look at the Rouse entry. There are many Rouses and Rances in the records and I often wonder whether they are mistakes. I was unable to download the city ark files.
Thank you again for your suggestions.

Robert's baptism was on the 6th Feb. Odd that the same couple baptise two children a week apart.

Thankyou for your suggestion. It does seem odd.

Thank you LizzieL
It was suggested earlier and does seem very odd to baptise two infants a week apart.
