Okay so his name is likely Jabesh Maynard. This man is giving me a run for my money. Thank you for being extra sets of eyes for me.

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Mayman vs Maynard
« on: Tuesday 25 April 23 17:21 BST (UK)  »
I’m not sure if this is the correct riding to post in but it may not matter. My 5th great grandfather, Jabez Maybard, married in Doncaster in 1793. The image shows his name as Jabesh Mayman. All other records succeeding the marriage record shows Jabez Maynard. The family all went by the surname Maynard and a son and grandsons were named Jabez Maynard. I have no records prior to his marriage in 1793. He was born about 1770 but I’m not sure where. He died in Drypool in 1818.

What could be the reason for the name change? His signature on the banns also shows Jabesh Mayman.

Thanks so much for any knowledge you can pass on to me :)

Bedfordshire / Help Reading Pension

Good morning,
I have a part of a pension that I am having difficulty reading. There’s writing in the background that I know says Leighton Buzzard but I can’t make out whose name is written down and where in Leighton Buzzard. I think it says some sort of school but I want to be certain.

Thanks so much!

London and Middlesex / Re: Charles Stuart 1867 Shepherds Bush

Witnesses look like either Jarvis ? Sheppard or possibly James ? Sheppard and Kate Agusta Cave. I looked up Kate Cave but couldn’t see how she fits in.

I’ve looked into Charles Browne Stuart, son of John Lewis Stuart and Gertrude Weston. He married Charlotte Agnes Musgrave Clay. They had a son in 1855, Charles John Lewis Stuart. He married Katharine Frances Douglas. So that rules him out.

Thanks for looking into that. It’s hard to find anything on the son Charles Stuart. Before his marriage there’s nothing really anything. I believe he’s in the 1891 census as a school master but before that it’s slim. I wonder if he was born in India and not Middlesex.

I saw that too. It’s so hard to know.

On family search I found an 1871 census of a 24 year old Charles B Stewart living in Inkpen, Berkshire with his grandfather John Butler. His occupation is Lieutenant H M Highlanders, born in Bellon, India. Marital status says unknown. Unfortunately there’s no picture of the census.

Yes it’s been ordered. Unfortunately I haven’t gotten any further in my search. I did find a Charles Browne Stuart born 1822 in Calcutta. So while that’s been very interesting and I’ve learned a lot about that Stuart family, I don’t believe it’s the same Charles B Stuart.
