Cambridgeshire Lookup Requests / Re: Doddington/Whittlesey Parish Records
« on: Sunday 21 July 19 14:29 BST (UK)  »
I’m grateful, magslote but I do have the later information for this family! Searching for Jacob German’s birth/baptism in Doddington/ Whittlesey around 1780.
Thank you for your efforts!

That's fantastic, Selina. Do you know what B.T. stands for (B.T. Jarment)? It doesn't sound as if there is a Jacob German showing up as being born to this Lawrence and Frances in Whittlesey around 1780 so maybe there was one couple in Whittlesey and another in Doddington. It seems strange that Lawrence and Frances would have half of the children baptised in Whittlesey and the other (later) half in Doddington and then return to Whittlesey to be buried. Hmm. I need to track this Jacob down!

I'm very grateful for your help!

Many thanks, Selina for your kindness. I wonder if this truly is "Frances Jarman"- a possible relative to Lawrence or her real surname was just not noted.

May I trouble you to check if there are any Whittlesey births to Lawrence and Frances Jarman between 1765-1782? Likely the  Lawrence and Frances Jarman having children baptised in Doddington between 1774-1778 are the same couple but.... maybe not!

I'd be grateful for a Doddington and/or Whittlesey parish look-up for the marriage of a Lawrence Jarman marrying Frances (unknown surname) likely between 1770-1774. Also the birth of Jacob Jarman/German in the same parishes around 1780.

FamilySearch shows the baptism of several of  Lawrence and Frances Jarman's children in Doddington (Ann- 1774, Lawrence-1776, infant, Sarah and Margaret - 1778) but I can't find Jacob nor the marr record. 

Many thanks!

An update to the intrepid team of detectives-

My husband was quite overwhelmed with his extra-special Christmas gift comprised of the service records of his grandfathers which included a substantial  collection of documents and explanatory texts provided by all of you.  He will be reviewing it all in detail over the coming weeks. It had an added bonus of delighting my mother in law, our two adult children and inspiring a Christmas visitor who wants to begin his own family history journey.

I can't thank you all enough for your most generous and kind assistance to me!

A good morning to all and especially ME! This is superb on so many levels. First, let me offer my most sincere thanks to you all once again for your most concerted efforts to see this through to the bitter end. When I initially posted my query, I did not anticipate at all that such an experienced and knowledgeable group of experts would zoom in and, through a meticulous process, offer up such a wealth of information. As a family historian, I am delighted that these details have now come to light for my own family. Like most of you, part of my joy in following this passion is uncovering those individuals and events that have been lost over time. As a former academic, I concur with the most recent posts here as I am incredibly impressed with the impeccable methodology employed. And, finally as a wife, I am going to score major brownie points when I present this story (including the tale of our detectives) to my husband on Christmas morning. I cannot say more. J
