Arthur Tabrum West Thurrock c 1750s/60s?

[NNR]

Arthur Tabrum and Elizabeth Cornwell were married by licence in West Thurrock in 1781, but of his origins I cannot find anything. Can anyone else? Many thankyous!

The parish marriage register says Arthur was from Aveley, but I can't see his baptism there.

Thanks for having a look!

Perhaps the surname is misspelt? Are there any other Tabrums in Aveley 1750s/60s? For reference, he named his daughters Mary Ann, Ruth and Jobina (!). Any mothers/people of that name around Aveley...?

I've come across a 1787 reference to:

Mary [Walford], married to mr. Arthur Tabrum, by whom she had mr Arthur Tabrum, who is married and has an infant daughter, Willliam Tabrum, who died young, Robert Tabrum and Jane Tabrum, now unmarried.

Mary Walford was daughter of William Walford, clothier and Mary Bacon. William died 1766.

Other children - William, Thomas (d1766), John and Jane.

Can anyone confirm these people? There's no other dates listed, but the 1787 reference to Arthur being "married with an infant daughter" is good....

[suffolk*sue]

An Arthur Tabrum married an Ann Walford, widow, by licence on 19th April, 1799 at St. Botolph, Aldgate, London.

[NNR]

So, according to The 1787 document online:

We have a couple: William Walford (b. 23/3/1700 or Abt. 1705 Bocking. Died 1766. Clothier.) and Mary Bacon (b.c. 1703 in Bocking)

Their kids were: William m. Ann Ruggles (she died 1784 aged 51). He born 17/3/1725 to 27/12/1788
Thomas (d1766) m. Mary
John m. Maria Sworder, Mary Cook
**Mary Walford (b.c.1723? According to Internet!) m. Arthur Tabrum. Son - Arthur Tabrum (who has infant daughter). Siblings William (d. young), Robert and Jane)**
Jane (m. Joseph Green, London merchant)
Elizabeth (d. Young)
Francis (m. Richard Daniel, but died 1780)

Can this Mary Walford and Arthur Tabrum match up with my lot, i.e....
Arthur tabrum and elizabeth cornwell's marriage by licence west thurrock 20/9/1781.
Children 1783 Mary Ann, 1785 Ruth, 1787 Jobina

My Arthur certainly seems to be relatively well landed, as are those in the 1787 document. Can't prove a link though, as there seem to be very few references to them all!

Stephen,  re your Arthur Tabrum - not sure if you have resolved this yet but here is the detail:    Arthur Tabrum  “Of Aveley”  was called that as he lived and farmed in Aveley on lands called “Cowhouse Field”.  He was actually born 4 May 1758 in Bocking, Ess and bap 27 May 1788 at St M the V, Bocking Ess. (Source:  SEAX D/P 268/1/3  image 92). 
He was son of Arthur Tabrum (1729-1806) of Shalford Ess and wife Mary Walford (1723-1786) of Bocking Ess.    (Have sources from SEAX, can produce on request)
I have Arthur’s line back to Robert T (c1589-1656) and Ann Bowtell (c1593-1674) 

Arthur “Of Aveley”  first marr Elizabeth Cornwell at St Clements, West Thurrock 20 Sep 1781 and had 6 daus from 1783 to 1796.   Last dau Elizabeth Jane was bap in Margaret Roding (PR states:  “Elizabeth Jane dau of Arthur & Elizabeth Tabrum late of Aveley in the C of Ess, was born 3 Apr 1796 & bap 14 Oct 1801” 
 3 x daus died as littlies,  one at age 12.
Wife Elizabeth d Apr 1796, bur 14 Apr 1796 in St Michael’s Aveley.

Arthur then marr  Ann Walford 18 Apr 1799 at St Bot’s Aldgate.   
This Arthur was my 2C6R.

cheers,  Gommie

Thank you! This is what I had hypothesised, but how can we be certain that Arthur of Aveley is the 1758 son of Arthur and Mary? I haven't yet found any wills that directly connect him with the family, and Aveley is some distance from Bocking. I've produced so many tables and charts with all the parish registers, wills and Seax stuff I can get my hands on, but haven't been able to 100% confirm the link yet. Any help hugely appreciated!!
