Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Deciphering Will

Very many thanks - that is brilliant. I did appreciate that only those with an FindMyPast subscription could see the original (I assumed perhaps naively that most serious genealogists had one or the other) but I didn't want to run foul of copyright laws.

Staffordshire Lookup Requests / Who was Joseph Adams
« on: Sunday 14 February 21 14:40 GMT (UK)  »
I have posted on this family before and receive excellent help so hopefully this time will be the same. Egerton Adams was baptised 17 May 1733 in St Mary Uttoxeter. Father given as Joseph and mother Elisabeth. The only marriage that seems a fit is that of Joseph and Elisabeth Painter 4 Dec 1718. They were resident at Marchington and marrried by License at Hamstell Ridware (presumably because the churh at Marchington didn't exist until 1742). Elisabeth seems to be a Hanbury girl born 29 Nov 1695. Other children appear to be Dorothy 3/4/1720, Joseph 3/12/1725 Checkley, Mary 29 Mar 1725 Darlaston and Hannah 14/8/1727 Darlaston. It looks like they were still in Darlaston in 1749 when Mary married from there. Darlaston is close to Walsall.  The distances involved are quite considerable. Is it likely the family will have travelled from Checkley to Darlaston for work perhaps  but then go to Uttoxeter to register Egerton or perhaps there is another similarly named family? I have yet to find a suitable birth for Joseph.

DUH  - no I didn't but to be fair I hadn't got the whole document. Many thank for your translation - unfortunately not mine

I have another License issued by the good Doctor. Most of it is readable  - License Joseph Adams and Elizabeth Tampson 1718 Aston  - but I cannot firstly establish where Aston is and secondly which church permission was granted in (it looks like ......bury).

I finally found them by ticking all the variant boxes including the ones left blank!!  Now of course the mystery has just got a lot worse.!!  Egerton Adams was born 17/5/1733 and registered in Uttoxeter. Parents given as Joseph and Elisabeth. So far so good. He was one of five children the first Dorothy 1720, Joseph 1721, Mary 1725 and Hannah 1727. Now the mystery begins. The parents were living at Marchington but got married at Hamstall Ridware some 10 miles away by license. Why? The first child Dorothy was born in Marchington, the 2nd Joseph in Checkley, and the 3rd and 4th in Darlaston some 36 miles away. More mysterious and then they 'came back' for Egerton to be born in Uttoxeter. Does all this ring true to anyone? I have a birthdate for Elisabeth of 1695 which seems to fit but I cannot find a birth or death for Joseph which seems to fit. Was he older and they ran away or perhaps too young? Any thoughts welcome.

Well that is interesting - I have done exactly that and have 16 results which only includes Egerton  and Joseph. I am using a Library version of FindMyPast - I wonder if that makes a difference? I will investigate further.

Thank you Annette I had spotted them but couldn't find any other children. Having been on FindMyPast I can't find them now -even searching with the details you gave me!! I'm assuming Hannah is a mistype in 1827  and Dorothy looks as though she was the one buried Hanbury Sep 30 1841. Now I''ve got to work out what you did that I'm obviously not doing!!

If anyone fancies a go at my brick wall to relieve the boredom, any suggestions welcome. My tree ends with the birth of Egerton Adams 17 May 1732/3 (depending on record) recorded at Hanbury Parish Church St Werburgh. Father Joseph and Mother Elisabeth. Thereafter that appears all the reference to Joseph and Elisabeth that I can find on these Parish Registers (Joseph appeared as a witness at Egerton's marriage in 1755 at the same church so was alive then. I can find no record of a marriage, baptism  or other children that appears suitable. Those that I have found are either geographically unlikely or historically unlikely. The Ad(d)ams name is prolific in the area (going back to 1618) so I am confident that there ought to be a connection but can't find it.
