Thanks so much for looking this up for me - so that marriage does exist! I really must reference my research better. Much appreciated.

Sussex Completed Lookup Requests / Marriage at Battle, Sussex in 1775
« on: Saturday 09 June 18 21:45 BST (UK)  »
Hello
I wonder if anyone can help me with a conundrum?
I'm looking for the reference/details for a marriage of James CROUCH to Mary VENIS at Battle, Sussex. I have a record of such a marriage taking place on 26 Nov 1775 but do not know where I got those details from! Can anyone confirm such a marriage taking place?
I'd be most grateful for any help!
Best wishes, Graham

Suffolk Lookup Requests / Burials at Polstead

Hello everyone

Would someone who has access to burial records for Suffolk be kind enough to give me any information, if possible on the following burials:

Mary Montague, died January 1827 at Polstead
Jeremiah Montague, died 1853, at Polstead

I believe both are buried at Polstead. If anyone can shed light on their ages, etc., I'd really appreciate it.

Many thanks

Graham

Dear smudwhisk

Thank you so much for looking at this and providing the images for me. I really am most grateful. It seems the conundrum continues!

You're right it doesnt say Hannah is illegitimate as might be expected. I did notice in some online newspapers that Hannah's brother (bapt 1794) is referred to as "Jeremiah Moyse alias Montagu" in 1814. Its quite confusing this alias thing. I wonder if this suggests Richard Moy(s)(e) is not a Montague...

Once again grateful thanks for your help!

Dear Annette and Emeltom

I really appreciate your comments and information - many thanks.

I think the James Montague bur. 1787 at Stoke by Nayland could be "my" Mary's husband - the age fits perfectly. I suppose this would leave it slightly more acceptable to have children with another man - Richard Moy(se)??? I wonder why they didnt marry though, as if the James, d.1787 is the right man that would have been possible.

The three other children are most interesting - I shall have to look them up and see if they offer any clues.

I suppose as you say Emeltom that Richard Moy could indeed be Richard Moy Montague - but somehow this doesnt feel right since there is an instance of a Richard Moyse being buried at Polstead in 1833.

Is there any chance of checking for more information on Richard Moy(se)? Was he also a local man and perhaps already married?

Thanks so much for your help. It is much appreciated.

Suffolk / Advice for condundrum at Polstead!

Hello everyone

I'm new to researching ancestors in Suffolk so am looking for some advice!

I've got a conundrum with my ancestors at Polstead.

My 4th Great Grandmother, Hannah MONTAGUE married John GARD(I)NER at Polstead in 1815. Hannah was born at Polstead and baptised there in 1791. From online transcriptions I note that her baptism record appears to suggest she is the daughter of Richard MOY and Mary MONTAGUE.

The confusion is that Mary MONTAGUE was nee GREENWOOD (born at Polstead in 1752). She married James MONTAGUE at Polstead in 1777. I'm guessing James died at some stage prior to 1791 when my Hannah was born which could explain why her father is recorded as Richard MOY??? or was she born illegitimate? or had James MONTAGUE done a runner? and if so, to where???!

Does anyone have any thoughts?

I wonder if anyone can tell me if James MONTAGUE died around the 1777-1791 period; or indeed who was Richard MOY (sometimes spelt MOYS or MOYSE)???

It's all very confusing and I'd certainly appreciate any thoughts. I'd really like to try as best I can to establish Hannah's parentage.

Thanks

Graham
