Essex Lookup Requests / Re: Chigwell baptism - Rebecca SPICER
« on: Thursday 10 June 10 11:07 BST (UK) »
Hi Bryant
Thanks again for your efforts - much appreciated!
I had originally thought that Alice was the daughter of Charles and Sarah but once I found the will I was wondering if she had actually been married to a Spicer and hence wasn't Charles and Sarah's daughter. My hope was that the Rebecca's baptism record would confirm this in some way, though it seems unlikely, and I'll have to hope the Chigwell records are digitised on Seax at some point in the future!
In the meantime, though, it does rather look like Charles and Sarah moved from Haverhill to Chigwell with at least some of their children and that Alice was perhaps just a naughty single Mum who ended up back in Haverhill wedded to a recently widowed man who needed someone to look after his existing four children. I think my next move will involve digging for census records for Charles, Hannah and Amelia to see if they give me any clues!
Many thanks again for hunting around for me.
