Does anyone out there have access to old London BMD records please?
I´ve a copy of a Burial record for Alexander Dards dated 29th April 1680 from Ancestry [London, England, Extracted Parish Records from the London Collection; St Mildred [Bread Street] & St Margaret Moses - Parish Registers, 1558-1853].
The Nat. Archives also indicate that Alexander Dards died in about 1680. An inventory was later made of his Goods. He was Married, and probably had a Daughter named Elizabeth Deards who was buried on 22nd January 1731 @ St Leonard, Shoreditch, from Charles Square, aged about 60 years - so she was born in about 1671. I´ve found a possible Baptism for an Elizabeth Dards dated 7th Dec 1671 @ St Mary Aldermary, London, in the City of London, Parent shown as Alexander Dards.
What I´m seeking please are details of Alexander´s Wedding, the name of his Spouse, his Parents, and the names of any other brothers & sisters of the Elizabeth mentioned above.
The only other information I have, that might be connected, is for a Miss Rebecca Deards who was buried on 21st February 1725 @ St Leonard, Shoreditch, also from Charles Square [? The same Family Home as Elizabeth?]. I have a Rebecca Deards of William & Jane who was born on July 23rd 1698 @ St Bartholomew By the Exchange, City of London. William Deards married a Jane Hale [or Hals] by Licence on 6th October 1692 @ St Sepulchre, Holborn, London, & had three other known children named Mary, William & John. It isn´t known when the 3 children were born/baptised. Mary married a John Martin in 1753, William a Margaret Morgan in 1754 [who had a Daughter named Rebecca born before 1761], and John a Mary Ann Gaucheron in 1773. William Snr. was buried @ St Dunstan in the West in June 1761.
Any other FH details you can supply about the Family would be much appreciated please.
Regards,
Barbara Deards
