Title: Baptism Look up Please - DURRANT/NEALE
Post by: Elsa24 on Friday 01 April 11 12:28 BST (UK)
Hi
Could anyone look up a baptism record for a James Durrant b. around 1800 with wife Elizabeth Neale also born 1800 in Suffolk, I am curious to find out who James parents are.

Any help appreciated.

Welcome to Rootschat :)

Do you have James/Elizabeth on Census entries to confirm his Place of Birth and Date of Birth?

James DURRANT Married Elizabeth NEALE 13 January 1814,
St Mary Key, Ipswich, Suffolk

So I dont think he would be born c 1800.
What Child of theirs are you descended from?
Date and POB please.

Trish :)

Ok I 'googled'- James Durrant/Elizabeth Neale- and this came up which gave me info;
http://genforum.genealogy.com/oneall/messages/35.html

I then found some family Trees with little info or Census data at all.

This is what I have found;
Looks like James had died pre 1841;

1841 Census
St Clement,
Ipswich, Suffolk
HO107/1043/3/St Clement
Elizabeth DURRANT, 44, Laundress
Jonathan, 17, Errand Boy
William, 17
Henry, 15, Errand Boy
Mary Ann, 12
Esther?, 10
Benjamin, 7
All born in County
Name indexed as DARMOND but image is Durrant

Then in 1851 under DUNSTONE;
1851 Census
Ipswich, Suffolk
HO107/1800/171/9
Elizabeth DURRANT, 55, Head, Widow, Laundress, born Ipswich, Suffolk

No much to do with your original enquiry but helps fill in gaps;

CHRISTENING, IGI Extracted Record;
MARY ANNE Durrant, 21 December 1828, Suffolk County BTs, Suffolk
Birth St Margaret, Ipswich

Submitted Entry for HENRY Durrant, 20 February 1825, St Margaret, Ipswich

Nothing for Esther. So she may be a Visitor only.

Hi Trish

I've noticed from looking at the census information you have given me that Elizabeth Durrant (Neale) was born around 1796, perhaps James was born around that time.  Would it be possible for a look up please, if it is not too much trouble?

regards
Elsa
