Surrey Lookup Requests / Re: Jacobs family- Merton
« on: Tuesday 02 August 22 15:16 BST (UK) »I'm going the long way round but sometimes it works.
Will of James Jacob (no S) 1720 listed as Jacobi Jacob on ancestry of Mertin (sp) Surrey
Bequests to John Dan Cammell? and his children Charles, William, Hannah and Katherine.
His late wife's sister Alice Conyers and her son Edward.
The bulk of his estate goes to his dear brother Benjamin Jacob senior of Mertin Surrey
--------------------
So they are probably sons of John Jacobs died 1678 of Merton Surrey who has children Margaret wife of John Fo?, Catherine, James, Thomas and Benjamin.
That's really helpful, thank you very much!

« on: Tuesday 02 August 22 15:05 BST (UK) »There is a Jane Jacobs died 1735 she is a widow also of Merton, her will mentions quite a few members of the Jacobs family including James.
She is a god parent to Benjamin son of James.
Have you worked out where she fits in?
Often a wife might go home for the birth of her first child so you might want to go a little further afield in search of James son of Benjamin and Catherine, he may have been baptized in her home parish.
thank you- I'll take a look- no, I haven't found out her connection so far. There was a daughter called Jane but this must be a different one as she is a widow.

Surrey Lookup Requests / Jacobs family- Merton

I'm looking for a potential marriage between Benjamin Jacobs and his wife Catherine in Merton and a possible baptism for him. I have found his will which shows he died in Merton in 1732. It mentions his eldest son, James but I haven't found a baptism record for him. I have baptism records of the following children:
Benjamin 1693
Catherine, 1696
John 1699
Jane 1704
Any ideas?

Berkshire Lookup Requests / Chieveley Marriage Lookup
« on: Monday 01 August 22 18:31 BST (UK) »
I'm trying to find the marriage of Benjamin Jacobs and Martha ?. Their earliest child I can find was baptised in 1757 in St Leonards, Shoreditch so I think they were likely to have married in the 1750s. All of their children were born in London, as was Benjamin. The only possible marriage record I can find is between a Benjamin Jacobs and Martha Quelch in Chievely, Berkshire on 2nd Nov 1752 but this seems a bit unlikely due to the distance. Is anyone able to check the record for me and see if it lists which parishes they are from? Many thanks in advance!

Hi Ciderdrinker
yes I'd seen the army record on Ancestry and thought it a bit odd as he signed up on the 5th June and married Amelia a month later..unless it's a different William which is a bit unlikely or perhaps he enlisted and then never went?
yes I've put his mother as Sarah but couldn't find any records to support the father as Claude DeMenthon
Thank you for your help!
