Clerkenwell Lookup Please
« on: Saturday 02 December 06 04:41 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for several lookups in Clerkenwell Please. Any help appreciated. Jonathan Braxton married Sarah b 1811 Hertford (maiden name unknown) about 1827. I have four children that I could trace. George b 1828, John b 1830, Edward b 1834 and Mary Ann b 1836 d 1841. They were all born in Clerkenwell. Jonathon was deceased when Mary Ann died in 1841 but could not find on post 1837, so he would have died about 1836. Sarah Braxton then married John Abrahams (1841 - 1851), and also a third marriage to Joseph Brown (1851 - 1861) . I only know this because of the census. But I can't seem to find her marriages to any of them. Sarah Brown died before the 1881 census. Is there anyone that can help me? Most of the time Sarah was living in Clerkenwell, so this is why I thought most of it would be in the Clerkenwell Parish records.

Hi Dawn, I still need the lookups, mainly for the marriages. I have since found Jonathan Braxton's death in 1836 at St James Clerkenwell, and also that there were to other children Sarah and Sophia, both died as toddlers.

I'm planning a day trip to the LMA on either 7th or 14th April.

I'll add you to my list of look-ups.

Hi Maz
Unfortunately not the same family. Mine was Susannah Knight and George Brown and they married in Tasmania Australia.
