Just using internet sources I've come across 3 people in family trees that were 'confirmed' at St Mary's , Hadleigh on 20th May 1784, they are:

Daniel Double ( who was bpt 26/7/1762 in Holton)
David Armstrong ( who was born C1759)
Hannah Rosier  d/o Robert a labourer (bpt 16/8/1767 Hitcham)

In a early Victorian book on Hadleigh it says that as confirmations by the Bishop ( ? of Ely) were so rare, that when it was planed to have such a rite performed in Hadleigh people came from all the nearby villages to participate. This source says 1507 people were confirmed that day, another souce says 38 ( quite a difference)

My question is there a list of these people still around and if so where?

Thanks

Thanks Jorose,
As usual with these things, I just found a on-line Mid C18th map of Shoreditch, and as your post said Church End was a Liberty within Shoreditch, but also it seems from this map what is now Shoreditch High Steet in front of St Leonards was an actual Road called Church End, though I'm pretty sure the PR baptismal references point to the 'Liberty of Church End"

Thank again
John

I have an ancestor John Whitby who married in London in 1759 and was buried also in London in 1795 age 63 so he was born about 1732. He had a sister Elizabeth Whitby who married in London in 1761 and buried again in London in 1813 age 79, so she was born about 1734.

Using the IGI the only likely baptisms I have found for these two are from St Paul's, Canterbury:
bpt 22/4/1733 John Whitby s/o John & Elizabeth
bpt 9/2/1734 Elizabeth Whitby d/o John & Elizabeth

The IGI has no other Whitby's in the first half of the 18th century in Kent.

My question is are there any burial records of Whitbys about this time at St Pauls, and is there any more info in the PR , such as the father's occupation?

Thanks

In tracing my London ancestors I think I have come across 2 seperate couples who seemed to have married twice:

Ralph Reader as a widower otp married Ann Margery Harding as a spinster otp
20/4/1757 at St Andrew by the wardrobe &
22/11/1762 at St Katherine by the Tower
in each case there were 2 seperate pairs of witnesses

The other one is less conclusive:
bpt 6/1/1765 George Joseph Mortieau s/o Joseph & Martha, St Mary Lambeth
bpt 7/5/1766 Lewis Mortieau s/o Joseph & Martha St Stephen, Coleman St
M. 29/6/1766 Joseph Mortieau bach, otp=Martha Meighan spin, otp St Stephen, Coleman St.

I wondered if anyone has any ideas why couples would remarry?

Thanks

I am going to visit Jersey in late June, and among other things I would like to look up the civil death record of 2 relatives, one who's death is in the 5/1892-12/1893 St Helier death index, and the other in the 9/1893-8/1905 Grouville death index.

My question is are both these records available in St Helier, if so where do I go to find them?

Thanks
John
