Hi,
I am trying to trace the ancestry of James Mumford. According to his marriage entry and the 1851 census, he was born circa. 1770 in Birchanger, Essex - if he is a member of my Birchanger Mumfords, then his sister's were called Mary, Elizabeth, Sarah and Edith (Edith married Joseph Lucking).
I have looked through the Birchanger parish records on SEAX but can't find any MUMFORD birth entries in the time frame 1750 - 1780 (this isn't the James Mumford who married Mary Warwick and lived in Birchanger post 1800).
Info I know is:
James Mumford married Mary Nash, 20 February 1798 St Michael's, Bishop Stortford.
Children: James 1807, Sarah 1803, Thomas 1813, William 1800, John 1811 and Mary 1798 - all of their children were ch. at the Independent, Clavering, Essex.
1851 Census - James (born Birchanger) aged 81 and Mary (born Bishop Stortford) aged 74, occupation retired Farmer, living at 88 Chapel Hill, Stansted.
If anyone has a connection with this family, or have come across the MUMFORD name in their research, please let me know.
Thanks
Anna
