John Ingamells

[Pauline_Hutton]

Hi
Great to hear from you. I had worked on the basis that William and Anne were John's parents given the Burr connection. I also noted the preponderance of Christophers around one of whom who I take to be William's father in South Reston. My trail ends there though.
I would appreciate your guidance before that.
Ironically my parents kept a caravan in Ingoldmells from about 1964 right through to the late seventies. My father would often remark as we got close that he had (unknown) relatives in that area. Little did he know.
regards

Yes, Christopher went down through the family - not my branch, as that had Johns and Williams.

To get back from William and Ann Green, you need to look at the Lincolnshire Marriage Bonds and you should find a couple of Christophers in there.  The links from generation to generation are not conclusively proven, but once you realise that you are dealing with a very restricted surname group, the chances of there being more than one possible becomes almost minimal.

Basically, all roads seem to lead back to Great Carlton.

Thanks for that. I have had a quick look but cannot see the links at the moment. I will dig deeper over the coming days.
As a matter of interest, which of John's children do you descend from?
I descend from Elizabeth who married John Hubbert and then their daughter Mary who had a very interesting life.

I come down through John who married Mary Sleight, and their son Richard (married to Rebecca Epton) and their son William (married to Hannah Johnson) and their daughter Mary who married Seth Ellingworth and who were my great grandparents.

Re the Lincolnshire Marriage Bonds, they are available on Findmypast.  They don't tell you everything as only details about the couple are transcribed, which is actually enough, but there may be more information about who the guarantor was, and that could have been another member of the family.  When I can get down to Lincoln again, I'll check out the originals.

My, you get up early.
Findmypast? I can't have been on that site in the last ten years. Thanks I'll have a go and see what other gaps I may be able to fill. I've missing marriages all over the place.
