Absolutely Brilliant -  that ties it all in very well I have Rebbecca living in Cowbit in 1851 with son James born 1844 she was also married in 1844 and yes I have confirmation that her father was Thomas from the marriage.   I suspect the James ch:1844 son of Rebbecca Henson is my James does the use of her maiden name mean he was illegitimate?   If your thoughts on Thomas and Catharine's son Thomas are correct that would give me the following:-

                   
                                   
                               Thomas        =       Catherine
                                   1780                    1780 - 1785
                                                    ¦
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       ¦                                    ¦                                 ¦     
Thomas = Ann Wells          John                      Rebbecca = Michael
abt 1821    1824                  ?                             1821         1820
              ¦                                                                      ¦
     Mary Ann 1844                                                 James 1844
     Rebbecca 1848                                                  Catherine 1846
                                                                             Mary 1848

I also have Eleanor CH 1817 and Alice Ch 1828 as daughters of Thomas and Catharine  from the IGI


I have a Rebbecca registered in 1847 in Oundle XV 321 June qtr which is likely to be Thomas and Ann's daughter Birth certificate would confirm.

I have now found John and Rebekah Cook married in Great Giddings on 4 May1777  This sounds a very likely candidate for Thomas's parents I guess - they appear to have two other children born in Gatton Eleanor 27 Feb 1778 and Rebbecca 27 Apr 1783

I'll keep looking

Interestingly when I discussed the Hensons with my father he suddenly remembers Aunt Maud and uncle Jack Henson were farmers in Ramsey or wayboys and that my Uncle Jack Rippon went to live with them as there was no room for him at home.   Dad remembers visiting and collecting bread, meat and eggs regularly during the war.  My Uncle jack was actually Christened John Herbert.    So it may be worth trying to trace John and Thomas a little further to find this link.

I've not used the BVRI before for research but it looks a good tool so I've just sent for a full set.   While I wait can you see Rebbecca in 1847?

Hi Stuart

Yes, the absence of a father's name on an IGI christening entry usually signifies illegitimacy. Rebecca 1847/8 is not on the BVRI.

I think your descendancy chart looks right, and is how I would interpret what we've come up with so far.

I find the BVRI very useful, although others disagree! It depends on the county. Hunts which is badly covered on the IGI has a number of additional parishes included in the BVRI which I find invaluable. I also use the Hunts Marriage Index a lot as it covers most Hunts parishes - this is available from the Hunts FHS on fiche, priced very reasonably. Not having a fiche viewer I have to resort to a 20x magnifying glass and put up with the greasy nose prints on the fiches!

Regards

David

Well the BVRI was worth the investment although I wish I had found out that you can get it from  the UK  rather than having to buy from the US.

I have found Thomas's birth father John and mother Elizabeth Born Glatton 1780 - has to be my man but then I go off the rails again.    I can't find any more children to John and Elizabeth or there marriage in the BVRI or the IGI.  There is another John in Glatton married to Rebecca but they have children that Span Thomas' birth so this sounds like a separate couple.

I can't find Thomas' Marriage either have no idea where than has gone I wonder as his wife was Irish if they were married out of the country.

Any ideas welcome

I am trying to find out more about the Hensons who were concentrated around the Kimberley area of Nottingham.  Largely mining stock.  Trying to cross-check if any were involved in mining accidents.  Any pointers, much appreciated.

As on the face of it there's no connection with the Hensons from Hunts you'd be best advised to post on the Notts board, adding dates for the period you're looking for.
