Huntingdonshire / Re: John Charter baptism
« on: Wednesday 30 March 16 23:51 BST (UK) »
Hi Daniel,
I am trying to find the link between the Charters born in Steeple Morden in Cambridgeshire and the Charters in Colne. I am descended from the John Charter born 1739 in SM, the son of Thomas Charter. As mentioned in an earlier post, this John refers to an estate in Colne in the possession of his sister Sarah. I think this may be his sister-in-law, as his older brother William Charter (b 1733 SM, d 1821 Colne) was a farmer in Colne with a wife Sarah. In his will, this William refers to his Relation William Charter who may well be the William who also farmed in Colne and Sutton and who died in 1821. In your comprehensive network of Charters, I wonder if you have any clues to the connection between the Thomas Charter living in SM in the early 1700s and the Colne Charters? There is no evidence that Thomas was born in SM and it seems more likely that he was from Huntingdonshire.
Thanks for your help,
Best wishes,
Jeremy
