Hi
I recently discovered that my GGGGG Grandfather came from Stratford St Mary. He was John DOUBLE born circa 1720 and in 1743 he married Tryphena Lewis daughter of Thomas Lewis. Dates given for her baptism as 1731 suggest she was only 12 so I think the date has to be wrong.
Do you have either of these in your Family Tree. If yes, I would love to hear from you.
Regards
Sandra

Hi Quite often in the past and even today people are not always baptised when they are babies but when they are a bit older. So if, for example, your relative was baptised when she was 6 she would have married at age 18. Sometimes families were baptised in 'batches'

Hi there Arijaba
Clincher was quite correct in saying that sometimes families were baptised in batches for many reasons.
Very often Weddings and Baptisms took place on the only day that our ancestors had off - namely Christmas Day.
According to my Oracle - There was also another reason a bit later in the 18th Century
In order to help raise taxes, in 1783 a Stamp Duty of 3d was imposed on every entry in Parish Register - Paupers were exempt – but most people avoided paying the tax by not baptising Children.
In consequence, when the act was repaeled some years later in 1794 – mass family baptisms took place.

To Chris and Clincher
Many thanks for the advice
Will put it into practice.
I had a mass baptizm in my Double family in the mid 1800's so know what you mean.

In the Essex Record Office at Chelmsford they have a lot of type-written transcripts of Essex marriage registers (reference T/R 203/Vol 1 -Vol 80 odd). I think they were prepared by people who may have worked in the Essex Record Office in 1980s and they did a splendid job of the transcripts. I have been using them a lot recently and, after I saw the name Lappage appear here, I noticed the same name mentioned quite a bit in the transcripts. Do you want details?

These are the ones I've found so far. I stress that the above details are modern transcriptions done by people who took great care but there is no substitute for looking at the originals. I hope that they fit into your family tree and your timeframe. If you have any queries do let me know Best wishes Clincher

Many Thanks Clincher
The info is going to be very useful as, though I believe my Lappage line is from Suffolk, I have a feeling that they are linked in some way to the Essex branch.
Lots of work ahead.
All the best
Sandra

Hi Sandra: I've found some more Lappages in Essex (and some Doubles too). When I get some time I'll post them in the Essex slot. Good luck Clincher

Hello,
I am researching Josiah LAPPAGE b. 1810 @ Layham & have just found he married Dinah Carter in Brightlingsea in 1836. By 1841 and beyond they are found in London. At the moment I am reading the PR's for Brightlingsea & think they are linked to the Suffolk Lappage's,
