William Finch and Elizabeth Wade
« on: Friday 16 February 18 23:16 GMT (UK) »
On 31 Mar 1752, William Finch married Elizabeth Wade in Foxearth, Essex, both were single and of the parish. They had at least one daughter, Sarah, baptised in Liston, Essex on 7 Nov 1762, who was possibly born about 1759.

I am trying to find the births and deaths of William and Elizabeth and any other children they may have had........in fact any other information at all!

Thank you :)

Thank you amondg. Was Sarah's birth as well as baptism definitely in 1762? If so, Jane would be her mother, not Elizabeth, which disagrees with her burial information.

Sarah Finch married Robert Agness abt Oct 1782 in Liston and, as Sarah Agness, was buried 26 Jan 1835 in Long Melford aged 76, making her birth about 1758/9. If those details are correct, then Elizabeth would be her mother. Is it possible to check the burial registration to see if her age was actually given as 72 and mistranscribed as 76?

My subscription to parish registers at the Essex Record Office has expired, perhaps some kind soul who reads this can look it up for you.

Unfortunately the baptism register is damaged and the part of the page that has the birth date is missing. The part that remains reads...

Sarah Daughter of William ...
Finch was born November ...
- tized November 7th 1762

The baptism for Sarah at Liston is 7 November 1762 born ? November 1762 daughter of William Finch.

There’s also Mary of William and Elizabeth finch at Liston (difficult to read ... as you say Cuffie81, the register is damaged) born March 1760. Looks like Elizabeth died shortly after giving birth.

Liston is in Essex, whereas long Melford is in Suffolk, even though they’re next door to each other. You could post the burial request on the Suffolk board?

Thank you for your help cuffie81 and nannyj.

Was Mary's actual date of birth/baptism readable, and was it in Foxearth?

Good idea to try the Suffolk board :)
