John. Thank you for the information re wills. I think that ties the Whites up nicely and gives a death for Samuel although there is no burial for him.
Sarah White was and ‘extra’ I did not know of and have not found her baptism, but of course they were NC, or later on census although she witnessed weddings and births of family members.
I wonder if you or David may be able to shed any light on the Deeds below or the Will mentioned in
BS1824.
My side is from John the Baptist whereas, David is from Joseph. David may have already seen the Will which may relate to Joseph Sabey who may have died in 1736.
According to
BS1799 Joseph Saby was in Bolnhurst in
1713 did he die in 1736? The burial with the name altered?
Why was a copy of the burial needed in 1825?
Bolnhurst burial of a J..... Sabey of Colmworth on Dec 20 1736 - that's how it appears in the transcript with a note to said the name had been altered
Who were William Forster and Nicholas Waterhouse. Would they have been family members?
The reference numbers BS1793-1831 for dates 1688-1830
‘deal with Title Deeds for mainly for Brayes Farm in Bolnhurst and Colmworth'.Reference number BS1799 mentions
Joseph Sabey and Richard
Fisher (Fisher a name we had encountered before. Sarah Sabey/Hartop/Fisher and Abraham who did not baptise their children ?NC)
Joseph Sabey is not mentioned on the next entry BS1800 which is dated
1728.Would he still have had an interest in the Property? Or perhaps died before 1736?
