French family
« on: Monday 21 September 15 19:38 BST (UK) »
Hi
I have Jemima French who married Daniel Button in Saxmundham in Suffolk, she died before the census (1825). My search has only found a Jemima in Kent, which seems a bit of a trek in those days!  Originally someone on here found a Jemima as daughter to Nicholas but that has now been discounted. The other Jemima I found was born in 1774 to George and Elizabeth (George was the name given to one of Jemima & Dan's children). I'm wondering a) if there is any marriage to be found for George and Elizabeth and b) what his occupation might have been.
Any help greatly appreciated.

There's a Jemima French on Freereg in Palgrave, Suffolk
Baptised in 1804 Parents John/Jemima.

Could it be that the baby was a young married?
Or could it be that John died and the Mrs Jemima French (widow) became the wife of Daniel?
John/Jemima had their last baptised child on that index in 1812.

Sorry should have said that Daniel and Jemima married in 1806 so that rules out any of this family.

I know it's not what you asked ..... but .... 70 miles away, in Good Easter, Essex, there was a Jemima French baptised in 1778. Parents Daniel & Sarah.

So she'd fit the "plausibly on a travelling route .... of marriageable age by 1806"

.... not helping much am I.  But my response gives your post a bump :)

Oh my, it could be her as it's a lot nearer than Kent! I hadn't come across any other jemimas than in Kent so had just assumed that was were she was from.
Is there any other info about her or parents in Essex?
I did the maths earlier and realised that jemima & Daniel married late at 32years old but they were both single according to FindMyPast.

All I know is what's on FreeREG, I have no subscriptions or secret sources .... and I thought I was probably being annoying by not answering what was your original question.

In the main, my enthusiasm to "be of some small help" outweighs my actual usefulness :)

Well your enthusiasm is greatly appreciated and has been useful as well  ;)
I googled jemima in Essex and there's a whole load on Igi extracted from the Essex registers, I just wonder why they didn't come up before unless they're new records on there.
So a really big thank you  :D

I had another look to see if anything were obvious anywhere and found an Essex collection on FS.
So I stuck her name in and it gave this:
https://familysearch.org/search/collection/results?count=20&query=%2Bgivenname%3Ajemima%20%2Bsurname%3Afrench&collection_id=1465709

Which is no further forward with that thread, except to show there was a 2nd Jemima French in the same village, 30 years older, but that older one appears to have married a Caleb.

I often wish they'd mark new records in some way, so you could see what's been added recently.
