I am returning to the GREEN/PRESLAND branch of my family tree in the hope
that someone may be able to help with information to help me to progress a
little further.
I have traced back to JOHN GREEN born Hessett abt 1800 and married to JANE
PRESLAND. They married in Hessett on 27 July 1820.
"John Green of this parish, single man, and Jane Presland of this parish,
single woman, married in the Church by banns with consent on this twenty
seventh day of July 1820. Witnesses were Sophia Green and James GROOM.
John Green died sometime between 1851 and 1861
According to the 1851 & 1861 census Jane gives her birthplace as
Colchester, Essex. On the 1851 census for Hessett Jane gives her age as 49
years and John Green is 53 years. John Green dies sometime between 1851 and 1861.
I am trying to trace parents for both John GREEN and Jane PRESLAND. I have
a copy of the 1841 census which shows John Green together with Jane and
their six children. On the same page of this census it shows a Mary PRESLAND
age 65, below her on the page is Jacob PRESLAND age 30 and then John
PRESLAND age 20.Is anyone else researching the PRESLAND name in Hessett.
I am wondering if these PRESLANDS are related to my Jane PRESLAND.
Also on the same page of the 1841 census is a James GROOM, age 45. Is it too much of a coincidence to assume that this is the same James GROOM that was witness to John GREEN and Jane Presland's marriage. The other witness to the marriage was Sophia GREEN. It is possible that this is a sister for John Green
This particular page has of the 1841 Census also shows details of other branches of my family tree, namely COCKSEDGE and BLAND. I know from my research that the Cocksede/Bland/Green families intermarried.
If anyone has any information on any of the above that would help me trace parents or siblings of John GREEN and Jane PRESLAND I would be very pleased to hear from you.
King regards
