Title: birth of martha slowgrove 1769 ?WIX
Post by: rosiebun3 on Tuesday 14 December 10 20:55 GMT (UK)

I am looking for the birth of Martha Slowgrove who marries a John Saunders in Great Oakley in 1791 and dies in Great Oakley in 1841 aged 71. That would make her birth around 1769 but I cannot find her in Great Oakley or Ramsey.
At her marriage one of the Witnesses is a Thomas F slowgrove ? her father or ?her brother.
There is a Thomas Slowgrove born around 1764 and baptised in Wix who I guess could be her brother. Is there anyone who could check Wix or who has noticed this name on their searches ;)

Hi,

Possibly Thomas?

Thomas SLOWGROVE
Christened:  28 Jun 1766,  Great Oakley, Essex
Father:  Thomas SLOWGROVE
Mother:  Mary


The IGI batch number for Great Oakley Baptisms seems to only cover 1673-1766,

I've not used the Essex record office before so I don't know if they do look ups etc but it does look like they have microfiche of baptisms 1767-1813, maybe someone local would be able to have a look for you.

Thanks for your posts
I feel sure that Martha is related to Thomas and Mary but cannot find her in Great Oakley; which is why I thought Wix may be a possibility.
I was hoping that someone might have come across the name in their searches.
Hoping to resolve the question by the end of 2011! 8)

My ancestor, Martha Slowgrove, was born in Wix, Essex, in 1825 or 1826. Her husband was James Victor Calvesbert and her parents were Daniel Slowgrove and Sarah Crisp (both born around 1791). Maybe we are related?
