Elizabeth Ashbolt Bluntisham
« on: Thursday 24 July 08 16:41 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I'm looking for the baptism of Elizabeth Ashbolt. She married William Seekings of Somersham 17 March 1768 at Bluntisham and it states she was of the parish but I can't find her baptism. Thanks.

Unfortunatley when it says "of this parish " at a marriage, it just means that they are resident in that parish at the time, not that they were born there.

IGI has a christening of an Elizabeth Ashbolte on 17 AUG 1741 in Cambridge, daughter of William and Catharine. A possibility.

Hi,
Yes I have seen the IGI entry and today I found the entry on a baptism index which gives me the parish so I can do some more research.

Cambridge doesn't smell right!

There's a burial in Somersham on 11 Apr 1796 of Elizabeth Seekins age 51, which if it's your Elizabeth makes her too young to be the one baptised in Cambridge, even given the unreliability of burial ages.

There were Ashbolts in Bluntisham at the right time - Richard and Alice and Richard and Mary were baptising children there right through the 1740s. Alice was buried on 24 Dec 1746, so it looks like the same Richard. The last Richard & Alice baptism was in 1743, so there's a biggish gap until Alice's death, which fits very nicely with the burial age. Can't prove it though!


Who were the marriage witnesses?

Hi David,
I'm not entirely convinced by the Cambridge baptism as I have seen the Ashbolts in Bluntisham.
I noticed there were two Elizabeths baptised in 1718 and 1722 who don't appear to have married in Bluntisham.
Perhaps one of them had an illegitimate daughter called Elizabeth who wasn't baptised. Not the first time I've come across this in my family!
Yes that is my Elizabeth buried in 1796. The witnesses at the wedding were Mary Leeds and Seth Feary.

Hi,
Yes, me too!
Concerning the Cambridge baptism of Elizabeth in 1741. I can't find a marriage for her parents William and Catherine.
Any ideas?
