Richard Rowning & Prudence Godwin baptisms, Cambridgeshire

[RoserAncestors]

I am doing some family history research for a friend of mine and I have tentatively traced her to the marriage of a Richard Rowning & Prudence Godwin on 18 Oct 1709 in Hildersham, Cambridgeshire.

The couple had three children, Mary (christened 24 Aug 1710), Mary (christened 9 Sep 1711) and Elizabeth (christened 20 Jun 1714) in Great Abington, Cambridgeshire.

I was wondering whether anyone can find the baptisms of Richard or Prudence as I can't.

A Richard Rowning was baptised at Little Abington on 1 April 1689 the son of William and Mary.

Can't see a baptism for Prudence in Cambridgeshire.

Marriage 6 May 1680 at Great Abington - William Rowning to Mary Woollward.

Regards,
Selina

Actually Selina, I was wondering if you could find a baptism of a Sarah Hanchett in Cambridgeshire. According to other people's research, including someone who has seen the marriage bond for her second marriage which describes her as a widow, she married John Peck on 22 Oct 1706 in Kingston, Cambridgeshire, and then after he died married John Westnitt on 9 Feb 1709, both being described as being of Kingston.

(Thier apparent son John Westnet married a Mary Rowning in 1730.)

Many thanks if you can help.

Have you checked the IGI at www.familysearch.org? There's a baptism of a Sarah Hanchet at Bourn, next door to Kingston, daughter of William, on 4 Oct 1674. The parish register has no other detail.

There does not seem to be a better candidate for your Sarah Hanchett in Cambridgeshire other than the one bedfordshire boy has found.

The transcript confirms the marriage to John Peck on 22 Oct 1706 and his probable burial on 7 December 1708 at Kingston.

Second marriage shows no precise date just 170? and the grooms name is John Westnett.
