William Barnet & Ann Sturges
« on: Thursday 18 October 07 16:22 BST (UK) »
I'm trying to sort this couple out and have been looking in the Bedfordshiire area but on A2A I found a Removal Order on 29 Dec 1826 from Keysoe Beds to Molesworth Hunts. Can anyone shed any light on this pair for me please.?
Thankyou

Hello Marylou,

I can check up on the Bedfordshire end...but it seems like William B came from Molesworth [as people were removed to the parish where the husband/father came from].  And as you know, Ann Sturges was from Keysoe [marriage on the 17th Oct 1826] and there were no children yet - but I will have a look just in case there is something about William's parents in the records.

I expect he was employed in Keysoe for the harvest and sent back to his birth place when his money run out?  You needed to be in continuous employment under the New Poor Law to gain residency in a new town or village  & even then - it was not straight forward.  Huh

Youre right with nothing being straight forward.......seems it wasn't then and certainly isn't now when we try and find these folk.........lol

Thanks cathy., that is good of you. I'm probably clutching at straws with this one.....seems to be a lot of William Barnetts around and Sturges wasn't an uncommon name in the bedfordshire area.

Would make my jigsaw complete (well, almost) if I could place these two as parents of James Barnett But he was born in Keysoe.

And there was me thinking I'd just tie up a few loose ends ......lol

Marylou

It may be that William & Ann returned to Keysoe at some time and I hope so because it makes a nice change to be barking up the right tree!  Grin  William may have been offered permanent work [if he was healthy etc] in Keysoe.  So thanks for your message - I will check out all Barnet/t Poor Law Records in case there is something else.

The other possibility is that William was from Keysoe, but had worked in Molesworth for a year thus changing his parish of settlement. And if there was any chance that he or his new wife would be a charge on Keysoe they'd have no compunction about sending him back to his parish of legal settlement, Molesworth.

You need to check the parish chest for Keysoe to see if a copy of his Settlement Examination survives.

Thanks, David

I will check that out next week - he may have gone to Molesworth and had settlement there - then returned to Keysoe and been sent away Huh

That is certainly possible...anyway, there should be an examination or something this end

Looked up th Removal Order - it has no more information & just says they are chargable to Molesworth.  The Poor Law examination papers are lost [they would have expain the background].

Marriage 17.10.1827.  Wm Barnet [signs his name William Barnett]   Ann Sturges makes er mark


  • Witness both sign: Charles Barnett & Thos Sturges

    You will need to try Hunts/Cambs archives I guess
