Title: Craddock family Huntingdonshire (Kimbolton)
Post by: Lexi73 on Saturday 20 February 16 14:21 GMT (UK)
Dear all,
In my tree I have a branch of the family who, though they were from Northamptonshire, ended up in Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire, from about the 1830s onwards.

- George Craddock x Mary Hazleby 31 May 1832 and they appear in the 1841, 1851, 1861 and 1871 censuses.
- Henry Craddock is George's brother, who appears in the 1841 census, was married to one Louisa, in Huntingdonshire.
Both brothers were born in Kingsthorpe, Northamptonshire. They apparently ran an inn in Kimbolton.

There are also two other Craddocks in Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire, one by name of William, who marries Elizabeth Croagers in 1830, and Richard who marries Mary Chapman in 1819.
Richard seems to have been born in Huntingdonshire and seems slightly older than the other three. George, Henry and William were all born in Northamptonshire.

Is there anyone here researching the Craddock family who can tell me more about them? I already have the Kingsthorpe/Northamptonshire information and am going to check out the Finedon Williams to see whether the census information matches someone. What I *would* like to know is the following:
- Who and when did Henry marry?
- Who are the parents of Richard and where and when was he born?
- Is there a possibility that George and Henry's father (John Craddock from Kingsthorpe) married a Huntingdonshire lady (since I have no marriage for him)? She would have been Susanna(h) and their marriage should be some time between 1785 and 1796.

Many thanks for any Huntingdonshire tips!
Regards,
Lexi.

What about John Craddock, yeoman of Glendon, Northants age 21+ who married Susannah George of Roxton age 21+, at Roxton on 19 Aug 1794 by licence, surety given by Peasor George, wheelwright of Roxton

That sounds to my liking - but why I couldn't find him in Northants is beyond me. I'd better go to google maps and see where Roxton is...

What would a yeoman be, by the way? Isn't that like a farmer?

Probably because Roxton is in Bedfordshire, east of Bedford

Haha yes, google maps told me that too. John from Northamptonshire must have travelled far and wide to find the woman of his dreams.

Tilbrook marriage
8 Dec 1800 John Craddock to Elizabeth Rootham,
witnesses Thomas James & John Pashler (clerk)
Is it their son William baptised 6 Dec 1801 who married Jane Abram in 1830, don't know why he needed consent, he'd be 29, maybe wife Jane was not yet age 21

John Craddock also was a witness to another Tillbrook marriage
27 Sep 1802 Charles Cope of Kimbolton to Mary Rootham

Seems Elizabeth 1783 & Mary 1780 were sisters, daughters of Thomas & Mary Rootham

Note the Roxton marriage just names her Susan George, it is only in the licence trancript that she's Susannah. She was baptised as Susan on 3 Feb 1769 at Roxton daughter of Simon & Ann George, who also had son Pearson 5 Oct 1770, who gave surety on the marriage licence.

 John from Northamptonshire must have travelled far and wide to find the woman of his dreams.

Or perhaps he met the lady who was working in Northants and they returned to her home parish to marry

Did you take the marriage from the microfiche of the PR John, or from the transcript? The transcript usually abbreviates the name to Susan, whether the PR shows it as Susan, Susanna or Susannah

David, The marriage (& baptism) came from the transcript .... & as you say; as listed in 'Abbreviations Used' at the start of PR volume 5 (that includes Roxton), Susan is short for Susannah..... that being said other transcripts I have, list Sus for Susan & Susna for Susanna(h).

Haha yes then you wouldn't! I have meanwhile become quite knowledgeable of the whereabouts of Northamptonshire and Bedfordshire towns, but Roxton I hadn't come across yet. I live across the pond, you see, in the Netherlands :-)

Are any of you reading here able to figure out who the parents were of Richard Craddock who marries Mary Chapman in Kimbolton in 1819? I'd assume he was born in about the first half of the 1790s, given the year of marriage. If I can figure out who his parents were that might help me tie up a few things. Thanks!

This was looked into over 10 years ago..... wonder if the poster here has resolved it...

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=90912.0

It's interesting that it's a Craddock marrying a Chapman.... same as the 1791 Harrold marriage

And then there's George Craddock of Kingsthorpe, marrying Elizabeth Chapman in Newton Bromswold in 1742. And Francis Craddock of Wellingborough, marrying another Susannah Chapman in Wellingborough in 1746. And James Craddock of Abington, marrying Susannah Chapman in Overstone in 1792.
There must be lots of lovely Chapman girls walking the plains of Bedfordshire, Huntingdonshire and Northamptonshire...

As I mentioned in reply#2 he was of the parish of Ellington, Hunts on marriage in 1819. In 1851 living in Ellington he gives his birthplace as Ellington, age 59.

Huntingdonshire isn't the easiest of counties to research online as the LDS was refused permission to film many parish registers, and Ellington is one, so there's no microfilm to view other than at Huntingdon Archives, no extract on the IGI, and no transcript available from Hunts FHS. So you need to contact Huntingdon Archives for them to look for a baptism for him in the parish register as part of their Research service, for which there's a reasonable charge.

There's a marriage in 1786 in Stilton, 11 miles north of Ellington, of a Richard Craddock and Mary Muckley, which might be relevant. Or it might not!
