Munn at Cliffe at Hoo
« on: Thursday 25 October 07 16:22 BST (UK) »

Has anyone out there come across the Munn family of Cliffe?? Joseph Munn died there 1840, age 70, and I think his wife was Mary--he was father of Flora born 1820, but I cant find his marriage--nor can I make head or tale of the Munn births in the area--tied in knots!! any suggestions gratefully etc.--CITYARK must be the best resourse on the web--but I am confused.........

IGI has the Christening of a Flora Munn 9th Jul 1820 in Cliffe.
Parents are James Munn & Mary ?

It's an extracted record of the  Bishop's transcripts of Cliffe at Hoo, 1813-1849.

I've found extracted marriages on IGI (Bishop's transcripts 1813-1849), but there's no sign of a Joseph Munn marriage.

I agree that CityArk is brilliant, but must admit I also find it hard going, luckily I've only needed to use it once.
Perhaps someone more experienced with CityArk will read this & have a few search tips that will make things easier!

Hi Everyone.

I think Cityark is great too.But all I can say it takes time going through pages to find what you are looking for.I have spent whole days looking just for one thing!As many of my familiy lines come from the Medway Towns it has been a real help to me.
I have come across the Munn family of Cliffe in my Cityark reseach,I donnot think I have a family connection.My connection is with the Filmer family,my GGgrandmother Sarah Filmer was born Cliffe in 1814.

Dear all-- AARGHH!! My mistake it was James Munn not Joseph. I dont know why I typed Joseph, senility probably. Flora was a direct ancester--I have birth record,
marriage, death etc--its sorting out her parents marriage and correct siblings i am struggling with. Thank-you all for the help. I too have wasted many a happy day on CityArk--just love it, especially the burials--whips you straight into Dickens!!! But it is mighty hard to search. Wouldnt it be great if all archive holders could get thier stuff on line--I thought something along those lines was going to happen for the millenium, perhaps I dreampt it!!!!

I have some Munns at High Halstow, which is adjacent to Cliffe.  All I know is that a Joseph Munn (I think from Meopham) lived there with wife Sarah Ash.  Joseph was buried there 1781, and I have only found one child, William b 1771 at High Halstow (my ggg grandfather).
Jos & Sarah were married 1762 High Halstow, so it would be reasonable to assume that there are more kids somewhere.  The timing appears correct for your James.

There may be a connection here, but I have not yet got enough information.  I am trying to extract all the Munns from the records in the area, than perhaps I can make sense of them!!  Are you able to provide anything else?

Regards

Hi again.
Looking at my records of my family baptised at Cliffe I have found a Susan Munn baptised 29th Jan 1815 daughter of James and Mary.Is this the family you are looking for?
By the way you said the burial records on Cityark were like something out of Dickens.I was born near Gads Hill Place in Higham his home at one time and have a family connection with my GG and Ggrandfathers who had a nursery in Strood selling plants and flowers to Charles Dickens!

               Regards Jean.

Thank-you Dave,
I came accross that one, but thought perhaps too late a marriage--James would be 47, which is fine, but the couple had been breeding in Cliffe by then, and I would have thought they would marry there too if the marriage was that late---
on Cityark I found
                 James Munn to Mary More 14 Dec 1795 at St Mary Higham,
and then a batch of munns bapt at Hoo All Hallows from around this date--but cant proove the link!!

Susan Munn at Cliffe is one of my question marks--
Flora died at the home of Sarah Elsegood, nee Munn, Cliffe, and I am assuming she was a sister rather than an Aunt-- born c 1812.
Thanks again for everyones help-
Sally

Hi Sally,
This should fill a few gaps:

Children of James Munn & Mary More

Cliffe at Hoo: Mary bap 21 May 1797 (b 8 Mar 1797), Michael bap 24 Feb 1799 (b 10 Dec 1798)

Hoo Allhallows: James bap 16 Jan 1803, Mary bap 19 Apr 1805 (haven't found burial of first Mary yet), William bap 6 Mar 1808, Ann bap 8 Jul 1810, Sarah bap 28 Mar 1812

Cliffe at Hoo: Susan bap 29 Jan 1814 (check - maybe 1815)

Hope this helps

I was checking out Sarah Elsegood in the 1851 census and she says she was born in Allhallows - only two Munn families in Allhallows at the time of her birth, one being the children of James & Mary.  The appearance and departure of this family in Allhallows coincides exactly with the other births attributable to John & Mary in Cliffe.  I have no other James & Mary who fit into this time gap.

Additionally It seems that it would be highly unlikely that there was another Sarah Munn who married a George Elsegood and was born at Allhallows in 1812  -  there is no other record of such other events, therefore my assumption is that this must be the correct family.

Of course this is not 100% conclusive, but there appear to be no alternatives.
