Joseph King n.1767 Dorchester on Thames
« on: Tuesday 05 February 13 14:34 GMT (UK) »
Joseph King (I) b. abt 1767 d. abt 1857.  Spouse Susanna....

Their son Joseph (II) b. 1807- 1811, d. unknown - pre 1851?  m. Mary Richings 24 Sept 1833  Mary's d.o.d. is unknown

I am as certain as one can be about the details of the first Joseph(I)'s birth and death dates.

My questions arise about his wife Susanna.  I have nothing but the name.  It looks as though he married at about 39 or 39.  The first born, Joseph (II) in the period 1807 - 1811 suggests that Susanna may have been quite a bit younger than her husband.  I assume they would have married in Dorchester, but cannot be sure of this.  Any information on her would help to fill in the gaps in this part of my tree, so would be much appreciated.  I cannot get to Dorchester so easily as I live in furthest France.

I have a further question.  Could someone please let me have the exact location of the graveyard Dorchester with Burcot.  I was kindly given a plan of the actual burial ground with family graves clearly indicated by a member here, but on a visit to Dorchester last April, I was unable to locate the graveyard.  There does not appear to be a church in Burcot.  Subequently I looked at Google Earth and Michelin on line, but could not find it.

Help, please.

The Dorchester PRs (Oxfordshire FHS) have this baptism:

Nov 29 1767 Joseph King s/o Joseph & Lewis (Lois).

Sorry, couldn't find a marriage for Joseph & Susannah in Dorchester.

 BATHSHEBA BOOTHROYD bn c. 1802 W. Yorks.

Baptism nowhere to be found. Possibly in a nonconformist church near ALMONDBURY or HUDDERSFIELD.
