Hello,
Mary married James Graves in 1801 in Radwinter. She was born in around 1773 in Great Sampford if memory serves (based off a census record). Can anyone find me a baptism?
Thanks,
Adam

No baptism from 1770 to 1780 in great or little sampford.
-
Damn. Thank you.
-
There are jellis children baptised in radwinter, which would make sense as marriages were usually in the bride's parish. Martha baptised in 1777. Will hunt around a bit.
-
My mistake - she was buried in Great Sampford. Born in Radwinter.

Radwinter: Mary of John and Mary jellis 22/8/1773
Looks like they only had girls as their son Thomas baptised 1774 was buried a short while later. Martha 1777, susannah 1781, sarah 1786, Bridget 1794. Maybe miscarriages in between as long gaps.
Found burials but no baptisms of three more daughters: Martha bur 1772, Rebecca bur 1783, Amy bur 1790.
Also found a burial for Mary jellis 1791 but the bap of Bridget definitely says John and Mary as parents. Will check marriages.

There’s a family tree that says he was born 1746 in Nil, Amur, Russia.
Mary chapman bap 15/5/1748 to John and Mary chapman in radwinter or Mary of William and Dorcas chapman 12/1/1748.

Thanks very much! Born in Russia? Is that likely?
-
Don’t know. Further back in the tree it says great bradfield and finchingfield, which are somewhat closer! Will check those tomorrow morning.
-
Thank you. I appreciate it.

John jellis baptised September 1745 to Thomas and Martha jellis in great bardfield, which is very close to radwinter.
Other surnames for what I think are Thomas’s siblings are jellyce, Gellis.
