Lookup Request - Kersey Parish or Poll Book - VINCE
« on: Monday 02 November 09 21:03 UTC (UK) »
Hi All,

Thankyou for reading my post. I have found the baptism's of 7 children belonging to my family on the IGI site. I was reallying hoping someone would be able to look up these people in teh Kersy parish register or the father of the family in the Kersey poll book though am not sure wehther he would qualify. The family are

James Vince b, abt 1753 Kersy & Susannah Martin b. abt 1760. James didnt die till 1839 so I have a possible death certificate and am really hoping that his job may be on one of the childrens baptism so I can check its the right person. (There were several James Vince's in Kersey around this time.

The children were

James bap 3/10/1779 Kersey
James bap 3/06/1781 Kersey
Susan bap 16/06/1782 Kersey
John bap 25/01/1784 Kersey
Martin cant find bap but buried in feb 1787
Martin bap 6/04/1787
Mary bap Jan 1791

Also does anyone know of a particular disease that was prevelent in Suffolk around the time these people were born as out of 7 children only 1 lived to adulthood!

Kind Regards

Paula

Hi Paula

I have checked the 1710 and 1790 Pollbooks (which are only really a list of voters) but I'm afraid that there were no VINCEs listed. Sad  This does not necessarily mean that your ancestor was not living in the parish at these dates.  It may just indicate that he was not entitled to vote.  To be eligible, you had to be male, of full age (21 or over) and be the owner of freehold property or land.

Smallpox was still a major cause of death in England at this time.

Hi Rick,

Thanks very much for the lookup and the mention of smallpox, I was thinking more TB but somewhere in my head I thought that was later on.

Kind Regards

I had suspected that the Vince's were not affluent enough to vote but as he was a butcher (quite different to my usual ag labs) it was worth a shot

Thanks again
