Does anyone have the Sudborough PR ? I'm looking for two John Tebbuts born at the end of the 18th century, both these John Tebbuts were gamekeepers or keepers as it was called then :

The first one who is my ancestor married in 1709 Mary Ball they had at least 4 children in Stanion where John was a keeper:
John 1710
Mary 1713
Alice 1715
Robert

It is a possibility he is the John Tebbut born 1682 s/o Jonas & Alice in Sudborough.
My question is, on Genes Unite they have him buried 1725 but not where, was he buried in Sudborough then?

The second John Tebbut also a keeper ( of Fawsley) left a 1749 Will in which he names his 2 brothers, Robert who married  Mary, and Jonas a grazier of Sudberow I think who married a Susanna and had 2 sons John & Jonas who was born 1737.
My question here is who were the parents of these 3 brothers John, Robert & Jonas who I think were born in Sudborough I would guess in the 1690's.

Thank you
John

Thanks for all the answers especially Ruskie for those 3 articles by Brian Pears, who asks the same question but more informatively.

So even though it still stays somewhat of a paradox, the growth of the number of ancestors was  lessened by families constantly over many generations inter-marrying. Also to a lesser extent people of other regions were being added to pool of possible ancestors.

My wife whose ancestors came from southern Russia & Ukraine showed me a genealogical study done recently for the male Y chromosomes there and found that over 50 % of the population had Genghis Khan as an ancestor, but then Genghis supposedly had 40 sons, so he had a good start.

Hi Sandie,
Thank's for your reply, yes I go along with what you said in your last post I just thought with those 2 Robert Rosier marriages on the same dates in 1732 & 1733 might prove something we missed before, but I guess not unfortunately.

My Grandmother was born in 1891 her given names in her birth certificate were Donah May but in the 1911 census she's just plan May, then the next year she meets my grandfather who she told her name was Mabel, I can sort of see it a young woman meeting this dodgey Italian fellow in Hyde Park not wanting to give her real name, anyway she must have liked the name Mabel as their marriage certificate says she's  Mabel Agnes, and those names stuck untill the 1950's when my Mum went to find her birth cerificate for the old age pension and couldn't find any Mabel Agnes with the right birthday, then the real story came out.
