Bedfordshire Lookup Requests / Valentine Cardington
« on: Monday 13 April 20 07:59 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone,
I am back on the inhabitants of Cardington. I have a William Valentine who was supposedly (according to the 1841 census) born in Bedfordshire between 1817 and 1821 (age 20) and living in Cotton End in 1841. I can't trace a baptism in Bedfordshire. His father, in the 1841 census, was Thomas Valentine who was born c 1771. There are two marriages for Thomas in Cardington to Mary Goodship (1813) and Mary Whitamore (1807) but no Marys are on the census and I can't find a death record for a Mary Valentine. However, Thomas and William are living with (what I presume is) Mary Whitamore's brother, Joseph and family, in 1841.
William moved to Haynes in 1842 and married Martha Neal.
So, I don't have any record of the births of William, Thomas or Mary Goodship. I don't have a death record for either Mary Valentine. I have a tentative birth for Mary Whitamore in Haynes, 1786, although she is said to be a resident of Cardington on her marriage record.
Thanks,
Sian
