Hello all
I'm researching the STRATTON and RABBITS/ROBERTS families. So far, I know that John STRATTON and Mary RABBITS were married in 1831 at Manningford Bruce. One of the witnesses was Jacob ROBERTS. Mary was bap. 1811 in Manningford Bruce and was the daughter of Thomas RABBITS (sawyer; b. abt 1783 in Manningford Bruce) and Jane ANDREWS. In the 1841 UK Census, Thomas RABBITS is living with his wife, Mary, and presumably, his father George (aged 84).
I can't find Thomas' baptism record in Manningford Bruce. At first, I thought he might be the son of John and Mary baptised 1777, but this Thomas dies in 1779. No other appropriate possibilities have emerged. However, I've been able to locate George and Ann RABBITS having children in Manningford Bruce in the 1770s and 1780s. They include:
Mary bap. 1779, Manningford Bruce
Sarah bap. 1786, Manningford Bruce
William bap. 1789, Manningford Bruce
William RABBITS (b. 1789) has children:
Jacob bap. 1813, Manningford Bruce
Matilda bap. 1822, Manningford Bruce
Leonard bap. 1827, Manningford Bruce
Does anyone know if my Thomas RABBITS (b. abt 1783) is related to the people you've mentioned in these posts? Any help you could offer about the RABBITS or STRATTON families would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Carla
