Given my first post, isn't the witness "Anne Porter" interesting?

(and not shown in the FreeReg transcription; where did you get that?)

It's from the scanned image, which is available on F M P.

Ah, thank you. It's also on the familysearch PR site. I currently have an ancen*y sub, a BNA sub, but not FindMyPast.

I forgot to add, that there's an entry in 1806 in the Roydon baptisms re. the children of the late Samuel Newson and his wife Mary being received into the church. It notes they had been baptised by a presbyterian clergyman. It names another child not on your list, Samuel born 1794.

If you haven't seen this let me know as it has the birth dates for all of the children.

I've downloaded and trasncribed this, thank you.

I've also found (on An*stry) the original Palgrave Unitarian Meeting House Baptisms.

Anne Porter, who married 1. Robert Womack in 1776, 2. Thomas Newson in 1790 and 3. James Murton in 1805, was the sister of my Great x3 grandfather Samuel Porter. Samuel Porter married Mary Newson in 1779 in Roydon and Mary Newson was the sister of the Thomas Newson who married Anne Porter. Confusing enough? Both Mary (b.1757) and Thomas (b.1763) were the children of Robert Newson and Susan Heath of Roydon. I have the ancestry of these Newsons traced back to the early 1500s in Suffolk and the ancestry of the Porters to the 1600s in Heigham and Foxley. You can contact

"bjeep" appears to have placed his research on Geneanet, again as "bjeep".

Here's (for a start point) is "my" Anne Porter:
