Osborn Family

[Shannon]

I am trying to confirm the birth, christening and death date of a Jane Osborn - born to George Osborn and Hannah Lambly.  The information I have is as follows:
George Osborn (b 10/04/1764, Rochester, Kent - d 05/05/1836, Rochester, Kent)
Hannah Lambly (b 07/12/1769 - Ipswich, Suffolk - d 18/12/1847, Rochester, Kent

Children:
George Osborn (b 17/04/1802, england - d 13/03/1803, england) - I need to confirm this as well

George Osborn (b 28/03/1808, england - d 18/04/1891, england) married Elizabeth Chubb 16/08/1833 (b 11/1810, england - chr 06/01/1811 - d12/05/1898)

Jane Osborn - I have 2 conflicting christening dates for her:
b 01/12/1779, england - Chr 18/08/1798, London - Chr 14/01/1798, Bethel-Wesleyan, Rochester, Kent.
I am leaning towards the second christening date being correct as the parents are from Rochester, Kent.

If anyone can confirm these dates of offer the correct ones it would be great, and I would also like to know if there are any other children.

You don't say where you got the information from.  If it was the IGI, the only way you can confirm or refute it would be by going to the original parish registers.  Kent has a good look-up service for its archives, though you would have to pay.  Go to the Kent board or google "Kent archives" for the site.

IS THIS PARTICULAR THREAD TO BE CLOSED?

I would like to keep it in both as I am looking for any information available - someome suggested I post it in the Kent section, but I am not sure if all the people I have asked about are registered in Kent or not.

As a matter of interest, how does one close a post?

Hi Shannon

This looks as though it could be rather confusing.  It's always best to start with what you know for certain ie. can we assume that you are looking for a Jane OSBORN?  If so, do you not have some idea of her age/birthplace from census returns/marriage/post 1812 burial in England/post 1837 death in England?  Or are you tracing back from George OSBORN and Elizabeth CHUBB?  Let us know where you are at (forgetting the IGI refs for the minute) and we're all try and help

The parish registers for Rochester are online http://cityark.medway.gov.uk/query/results/?Mode=Search&PathList=%2FZ4a_Medway_Ancestors%2F%0A&SearchWords=&DateList

This doesn't include non-conformist baptisms but marriages prior to 1837 took place in the local C of E church apart from Quakers and Jews.  Again, the C of E burials may contain those of non-conformist persons also if they didn't have their own independant burial ground.

Jane Osborn's info is my main concern - most of the information I have posted is from family records.  The only things from IGI were her christening dates and the 1st George Osborn who died shortly after birth.  I basically wanted to confirm that there were two sons born with the name George - one of whom died and the christening date for Jane was more interest than anything else.  I would like to know a death date for Jane as well.

Ok Shannon.  Were your ancestors C of E?  Did George & Hannah marry in Rochester?  If so, have you searched the CMB registers for Rochester and surrounding parishes?

Please excuse my ignorence, but what is C of E (Church of England??)?
I don't know where they married.  I actually have nothing on them on family record, I found out about them I think on IGI.
I do know that Hannah was born in Ipswich,Suffolk.

Hi Shannon

Yes, C of E is church of England and all those regsiters are online (link given in above post) for Rochester and nearby parishes.

Are you descended from George and Hannah or are they an offshoot from your branch?
