Title: Cambridgeshire baptism 1817
Post by: MacGrigor on Tuesday 08 May 18 22:45 BST (UK)
Hello,

Can anyone please look for the exact date of the baptism of Sophia Hinson at St. Giles in 1817, daughter of John and Catherine Hinson.

If anyone can do this for me I would be greatly appreciative.

Adam

Thanks! That also indicates that a possible marriage would be pre-1805.

That's great! I've been looking for a burial record for John. Much appreciated.

Do you have access to post-1837 baptisms? I've been searching for one for Eliza Scarr, born 1847, to James Scarr and Eliza Stocker.

Also looking for a burial for Sophia Pepper, died 1855, and Eliza Scarr, died 1857. Both in Cambridge.

Unfortunately I can't find anything except the birth/death refs which can be found on the GRO site or FreeBMD

No problem. Thanks for all your help!

Not sure if this is your John Hinson or not as dates don't quite fit.
 There is a marriage in Shoreditch, London 24 November 1806 between a John Hinson and a Catharine Game.
Cambridge FHS have a baptism for a Catherine Game 16 January 1779 in Cambridge St Giles, parents Robert and Mary.

Might be worth looking into.

Yes, that's where I got the name Catherine Game from! I did investigate this wedding months ago. It does like fairly likely, it must be said.

Post by: MacGrigor on Wednesday 09 May 18 13:00 BST (UK)
But yes, the dates would make one child illegitimate.

Maybe that is why they married in London and not Cambridgeshire, perhaps their neighbours thought they were already married  :-\

Yes, that's certainly possible. I have two sets of ancestors who had an illegitimate child, married, and there was a gap in age between the legitimate and illegitimate children. In this case, there was a gap of around 2 years between the birth of their first child, Marian, and their second, Elizabeth.

Catherine's parents married at St. Giles in 1775. Mother Mary Harman.

Here is her christening:

Another case of the same-sex couple, this time a Thomas and Matthew Harman. Perhaps mistranscribed from Thomas Matthew Harman, the father? I'm not sure.
