Hi, I am trying to trace the Sarge(a)nt family, who seem to originate from the Little Wilbraham area of Cambridgeshire. I have a Shadrach Sargeant, born Little Wilbraham around 1792, who married a Daucus (Dorcus) Hunt in 1811 in Wicken. They had at least one child, Shadrach. He had at eat one child, also Shadrach who was born either 1843 or 1846 in Chippenham, Cambs. He marrried HArriet from Bermondsey, London and that's where they moved to.
From this point on, I have plenty of 'solid' evidence and details. It is the Wilbraham/Wicken/Chippenham families I would like to get more details on. Can anyone help ?
Have you tried the Cambridgeshire fhs site it is great and has the index to the 1841 and 1851 census plus chr 1801-1837
Found Shadrach on 1841 census age 45 living with wife also 45
spelt like this
Shadrik Sargent 45 horseheath, Cambridgeshire (living here not necesserily born here) Daucus Sargent 45 Horseheath.
again in the 1851
Shadrach 59 Fulbourn Dorcas 57 Fulbourn
couldn't find anothe Shadrach so I tried the chrs
Shadrach chr 1812 wicken parents Shadrach and Dorcas George chr 1833 Fulbourn All Sts " "
Jemima 1829 Burwell George 1833 " Parents Shadrach and Dorcas for all George !835 "
In burials there is George who died 1837 age 3 in Burwell and also a william died the same year in Burwell age 14mts Jemima died age 2 weeks 1829
they seem a really misfortunate family. Hope you find what you are looking for. All the chr and burials came under all the different varients of your surname You should visit the site and see for yourself .
All the best Anjo
