I have a feeling that my grandmother was right and his parents are named William and Sarah but for Sarah's last name I have no evidence and little insight. Looking at what you posted it seems that #2 best fits but lets see what that MC says! Thanks again so much

Sincerely,

J. Bakewell

I completely agree with you guys and gals! I have no hard facts as of yet but sifting through all of it is pretty exciting, and yes I have taken it with many grains of salt. The hardest part is that the names back then were so common that it is hard to distinguish between who is whom.

I didnt know you had a Shakespeare moment recently  ;). I just wish I knew with any amount of clarity who Josiah's parents were. I will certainly be acquiring that MC as soon as I can but I just want to make sure it has what I need. I shall be placing a call for across the pond quite soon I have a feeling  8)

I found a document regarding William J. Bakewell and it reads

"...was originally an English Unitarian, then a Low Churchman — has since returned to the Episcopal Church."

Interesting stuff and it lines up with the NY immigration. I was also wondering how/if I could look up my families crest or coat of arms?

Sincerely,

Where does it list that he was a clergymen? That would explain a bunch actually! That US passenger list would help immensely. Any information is progress in the right direction

Sincerely,

Just curious but back in the early 1800's if you had children out of wedlock were you not allowed to have them christened in the church? I may have found some information regarding the late christening of the two boys but I wanted to see everyones thoughts on that

From what I can tell Josiah's parents were William Johnston Bakewell and Sarah Bakewell (Needham). If that is the case then they had nine children and they themselves came to the US and passed away in Geneseo, NY in 1861 and 1857 respectively. Not sure if anyone can confirm or deny this but here is what I came up with

Josiah Bakewell- Born 12 February 1816, Christened 26 December 1825
William Bakewell- Born 6 December 1817, Christened 26 December 1825
Thomas Bakewell- Born 28 October 1812, Christened 15 August 1814
Jane Bakewell- Born 6 August 1814, Christened 15 August 1814
Sarah M. Bakewell- Born 2 November 1821, Died 11 March 1894
Robert Bakewell- Born 4 Novemeber 1826/1827, Christened 25 April 1829
Frederic Bakewell- Born 4 April 1828, Christened 25 April 1829
Frank Bakewell- Born 15 August 1831, Christened 29 September 1831
Fanny Bakewell- Born 28 Novemeber 1829, Christened 29 September 1831

I found the christening dates for the children incredibly interesting! Anyone else find that cool or is just me? I dont know Sarah M.'s Christening date but I will keep looking. Thanks!

Sincerely,

J. Bakewell
