Hello

Can anyone find a birth/baptism record for Susan Patten please. Am wondering if her parents were Simon Patten and Sarah.

Many thanks

Parish Records of Langley
Baptism of children Simon Patten and wife Sarah
Isaac 29 May 1813
Elizabeth 18 February 1816
William bap 17 May 1818
John 3 September 1820
Arthur 4 May 1823
Charlotte 27 March 1825.

A tree on ancestry has Simon marrying in Cambridgeshire 11 February 1812 to Sarah Hayden,
so I would check Meldreth Cambs parish records, Susan as a possible first child may have been baptized in her mothers parish. She would have had to have been born less than 9 months from the marriage date otherwise Isaac could not be baptized May of 1813.

There is a strong case for a connection, when she married George Prime 12 June 1832 the witnesses were Isaac Patten and Elizabeth Patten

Correction
Sarah Hayden was baptized at Langley16 March 1788 daughter of Isaac and Elizabeth Hayden.
The names of her known first two children.
So why the marriage in Cambridgeshire??
Have you seen the original, was it by license and who are the witnesses.

Simon Patten was baptized 24 September 1786 son of Joseph and Hannah Patten at Langley.

Okay, found it, I had to go back one more book
Susan baptized 9 August 1812 daughter of Simon and Sarah Patten at Langley.

Added the church is St John the Evangelist at Langley

Awesome!

Thank you so much. Another tree had her as the daughter of Simon and Sarah but it's not on FamilySearch although other children are. Susan's husband married her sister Charlotte after her death

[amondg]

Don't follow the tree on ancestry, its wrong, they have Simon's father Joseph dying and being buried in London.
Joseph was actually buried at Langley 23 January 1805-widower.
Hannah Simon's mother was buried 14 October 1792 at Langley.

Hello

Thankyou so much for the tip.

Hello amondg

Just a thought - Susan Patten married George King PRIME, also born in Langley abt 1808 to Joseph Prime and an unknown mother. Can you help with this at all please?

[amondg]

George King Prime.
When he married Charlotte he said his father is JACOB Prime.

There are no baptism for any family with the name Prime in Langley 1795-1834

John son of James and Ellen Prime  bap 6 September 1835 born 12 May 1834 (could be 1831 the larger I make the image the fuzzier it becomes.) of BARKAWAY HERTS.
I will look for them in 1841.

Isaac son of George and Susan Prime bap 19 October 1834 born 27 December 1833 of Langley.

No other children of George and Susan are baptized at Langley which seems surprising as by 1841 they had quite a brood.
However their son Benjamin age 3 in 1851 census is with Jacob Prime and Harriet in Clavering Essex listed as a nephew born Antsy Herts. So this Jacob Prime is a brother.

The family seemed to move from Herts to Essex and back prior to 1861 so I would see if Jacob, Joseph, James and George Prime were actually born in Hertfordshire.
