Needham Family - England / New Zealand

[Ned 35]

Hi everyone

Seeking help with information on Ancestors/Descendants of Francis Needham (c 1769 - Aug 1835) & Charlotte ________ (c May 1778 - 1870) possibly around Leicestershire or Northampton.
Children = Francis, Lucy, Joseph, Sarah, Henry, Charles, Charlotte, John.
I am trying to confirm my line which I believe descends from Joseph.

Ned

You have dates for his parents, do you know where they died?

Do you have any birth dates for the children?

Hello Willsy

This is all I have on Francis Needham (see link below) it does have information on their children.

Their son Joseph, I believe he is my gggfather, was born 1804 in Wymondham, Leicestershire and married Jane Death Bullock on 7 May 1826, Barnack Northampton.

Their son Joseph Bullock Needham born c 1835 in Stamford/Melton Mowbray is my ggfather and left England for New Zealand between census 1851 and 1863. He married Emily Annie Haggitt 23 May 1868 in Christchuch. The family then moved to Australia c 1880.

Thanks for your help Willsy, much appreciate it.

Yes the mod gave me a good run down on conventions on posting when there are child areas. I am new to all this, it probably shows, but I am learning.

Could you please suggest the best way to find the following:

Charlotte's (wife of Francis) maiden name and/or marrige location/cert.

Your last post fits perfectly see below

"Also trying to confirm the full name and or birth Joseph Bullock Needham, who I am 95% certain is the son of Francis and Charlotte' s Joseph. He is my ggrandfather. He was born in Melton/Mowbray c Aug 1835 emigrated to New Zealand between 1851 - 1863. Married Emily Annie Haggitt 23 May 1868."
