I'm getting quite excited!  If your John Church the tailor married Elizabeth Burton, then we are talking about the same family.  My John Church was, of course, the brother of the aforementioned Rhoda and Mercy, who married my gt-grandfather's older brothers.

Looking at the family tree of a descendant of John Church on Genes Re, I can't quite follow the line you are talking about, but I don't agree with some of the items on there, anyway.  One of us must be wrong!

I don't think I can know Easton as well as I thought, as your description doesn't match my memory of it - or are we talking about Spaldwick?  All I remember of Easton is the road winding down from the main Huntingdon Road and curving round to a sort of common (The Green?) with a stream running through it.  The church was on that road and a row of cottages, one of which had been the pub (The Crown?) but is now poshed up to the nines in black and white and thatch.

Regards,

I am unsure of John's wife's surname but I do know she was born in Ellington. If Richard and Hannah were married in 1820 it is highly likely that John was their firstborn in 1821.Spaldwick is very small so  the chances of two John Churchs must be small. Certainly family only ever spoke of one....... what a character he was too.  Just got to find the proof !
I have a photograph of Three ways in Spaldwick but at the minute am having no luck sending it to you.
My computer is newish to me and its system is different to my old Mac laptop and at present it rules me!!
Our branch of the Church family died out two years ago.

I'll send you my email address in a PM.  You can attach the photo to it more easily that way.  I have a great photo of John's sister Rhoda Church in her old age which I can scan and let you have. 

Cheers,

Gill

Incidentally, there are quite a few Church researchers on Genes.  Are you a member?

I am new to this roots chat. but have just found a conversation you had with Maureen about Rhoda Church. I have a Rhoda Church born 1829 sister to Elizabeth born 1834 ( my g/mother) you said you had a photo of Rhoda which I would very much like to see. If I can get this to work, I have other information of the family.

My Rhoda was born 1829 and her sister Elizabeth 1834, daughters of Richard Church and Hannah nee Manning.  I believe Elizabeth married James Haynes in Easton 16.11.1855 and died in Leigh on Sea, Essex in 1925 age 91.  Looks like a match to me. 

I was recently in Hunts and saw Rhoda's grave in Spaldwick churchyard.  I can send you a photo of this, also the portrait of Rhoda and her son William, if you let me have your email address via a Private Message.  Unfortunately you can only send a Private Message after you have made 3 postings, so perhaps you can reply a couple of times, then we can proceed.

Sorry, my Elizabeth Burton was born 1819.  She married John Church, older brother of Rhoda and Elizabeth mentioned above.

Thanks for your reply. Elizabeth did marry James Haynes 1855 they had 13 children my grandfather Manning being the 6th child born 1864 he moved to Essex as did quite a few of his  brothers and sisters the name Manning was to carry on the mothers surname.

Did you know that Hannah Manning's father, John Manning (1760-1886) was the Baptist minister in Spaldwick?  I believe he was buried in the Baptist graveyard there, but the church has now been converted into a private house and I don't know what happened to the graves! Other grandchildren of John were also given Manning as a first name.  I have more information about the Manning and Church families, if you are interested. 

As I said earlier in this thread, my interest in the family is tenuous - Rhoda and Mercy, sisters of your Elizabeth, married older brothers of my Fairey ancestor.  Not so long ago I met up with the direct descendent of the only child of Rhoda and her first husband, Joseph Fairey.  Like Rhoda, Mercy was also widowed early, and moved with her children to Burnley, Lancs, and was followed there by her widowed sister-in-law, my gt-grandmother, Annie Fairey (nee Church, but not related!) and children, and the two families were quite close. 

One more posting and you should be able to send me a PM with your email address for the photos. 

Regards

I can imagine that the present occupants of the former baptist church could get fed up with people knocking at their door asking if they had any Faireys at the bottom of their garden

Hi David

I think they already are - there's an entryphone on the rather tall gate!   Roll Eyes
