Keren Happuck Mitchell Ching

[kjmck]

Evening all,

Looking for any help locating the above Keren Ching and her husband Edward. She married Edward May on 2 February 1815 in Surrey. It's a very unusual name!

Cheers,

Keelan

Do you know anything else about them - are they on the 1841 census or have they died before then? 

[kjmck]

I am having trouble locating them in Census returns but have just found this
 
MAY, KEREN  HAPPUCH MICHEL    71     Order
GRO Reference: 1862  J Quarter in DARTFORD  Volume 02A  Page 157

And also found this too, unsure if she is a Daughter of Edward and Keren.

MAY, KERERHAPPUCH       13     Order
GRO Reference: 1846  S Quarter in OF YORK IN THE CITY AND COUNTY OF YORK  Volume 23  Page 543

Although unlikely as Edward & Keren had a daughter, Keren Amelia May born 1815, who married Decimus Sewell.

1851?

Edward May 61 iron merchant
Kiron H May 59 born Launceston Cornwall
Augusta May 28
Emily Ching May 23
+ 3 servants

2 of the witnesses to the marriage in 1815 have the surname Ching

Keren-happuch is a biblical (Old testament) name, usually hyphenated like so, but could be spelled as a single word if you are searching for her name.

[Milliepede]

Baptism of Emily Ching May 1825 mothers name is Kerenhappue, probably should be as the above post suggests.

[Milliepede]

1861 Erith Kent

Edward J May 41
Keren H M May 68 mother widow still born Lauceston Cornwall so that must be her origins
Augusta May 36
Emily C May 31

The death you have found in 1862 looks about right

Ching   Kerenhappuch Mitchel   1789   —   1789   Cornwall Baptisms   Launceston - St Mary Magdalene, Cornwall, England

Finally found this.

So Edward May must die between 1851 - 1861.
