Chaddleworth - marriage William Froud(e)

[ribbo39]

Hi all,

I have a marriage of William Froud(e) to a Hannah Stimson in Chaddleworth 5-4-1779.

I don't seem to be able find this entry on the IGI  so wonder if I have entered the wrong
parish in my notes.
I know William was baptised there in 1756.

If anyone has access to these registers could they please see if this marriage is entered
there?

Not sure I can help you directly but:

William Froude (my wife's 4th great grandfather)
baptised 28 Mar 1856 in Chaddleworth, son of Joseph Froude and Mary Sydney
married 5 Apr 1779 to Hannah Stimson in Chaddleworth
died 11 Jul 1839
buried 14 Jul  Brightwalton (the next village)

We lived in Brightwalton for a few years. William would have been buried in the old burial ground (as opposed to the new one!). There was an earlier church which was replaced a couple of hundred yards away from the original (not sure of dates off top of my head). There isn't much left of the old burial ground just a few stones, some broken in pieces, most are illegible and some very old trees. Its very tranquil.

The marriage is in the IGI, I've just checked it out but I have to say that I've not seen the original PRs for either Chaddleworth or Brightwalton.

Hi Orsa,
Thank you for that info.
I have found the entry on the IGI - somehow I missed it although its a "submitted" entry which still
needs proving from the PRs.

William Froude is my 4 x g.grandsfather but his baptism year is 1756 . I have never been
able to find out Hannah Stimson's father's (Joseph Stimson) details.

Alan,

When I next get a day off I'll go to the Berkshire record office in Reading and check out the original registers. I meant to say 1756 of course (typo!)So he's your 4th great grandfather too so that makes you my wife Tess' 5th cousin. Do you live in New Zealand or just like the flag?

Finding Nicholas Froude (Frowde/Froud/Frood) has eluded me since I started this hobby about 25 years ago. I'd like nothing more than to take that line back a bit further. Incidentally, have you seen Nicholas's will? Very interesting. Also, his son Joseph's.

Hi Mark,

The Froudes in my tree  are from my mother's father's side  and i'm in Australia. I hope the
flag represents this country and Not NZ - I know they are very similar.

If you go to this address you'll find there is another rootschatter looking for "Froudes";

and i've been active there as well.

I should be very pleased to see any info  you can get from the Chaddleworth PRs

No, I've not seen Nicholas's will.  Perhaps  you would like to PM me.

Hi Mark

Have sent you a PM

Hello Mark,

Xmas greetings.

I'm just enquiring to see if you  ever found time to go the Berks RO to check out the
Chaddleworth PRs  for the "Frowds/Froudes"

I would certainly like to have a copy of Nicolas's Will if the offer still stands.

Hi my wife is a descendant of Nicholas Froud (c1640-1675) I see that you have the Will of Nicholas.
I have recently returned to researching the Frouds and have discovered Nicholas. We live not too far  from the Froud homelands at Fawley and Chaddleworth and to my surprise this week discovered that Nicholas was buried at Welford. We lived in a cottage at Welford park in the late 70's and the graveyard backed onto our garden. I would take my infant son on searches for peacock feathers in the graveyard deposited by peacocks of Welford Park which roosted in the yew tree, little realising that we were probably stepping on the grave of my wife's ancestor.
I would be very interested in the contents of Nicholas' Will and hope you would be generous and send me a copy as a PM.

Thanks David

Hi David,

I don't have a copy of Nicholas's Foud's Will but I have found a baptism.

He was bapt.  21-11-1638 in Kingsclere, Hants the s/o Walter Frowde.
 
As a comment; there are two Nicolas Frowds bapt. in Kingsclere (one s/o Richard in 1634 & the other s/o Walter 1638) so which is the correct one is difficult to tell.


Additionally I also found a marriage which I believe is him;
20-9-1660 Neckollas Froome to Martha Willson in St.Mary, Speen, Berks

I had this checked out by the Berks FHS who inturn consulted the original registers and they replied that "the above is as written in the register".

Just so you know, you have to make 3 replies before you can use the PM system. By acknowledging this message  etc will count.

I'm hoping "orsa" will  receive your message as he too is also following the Frouds etc. as I believe he may be able to help with a Will.
