Family History Beginners Board / Birth record help
« on: Sunday 26 November 23 09:21 GMT (UK) »
Good morning. I am looking to find a birth record of a child born to Susannah Cooper sometime late in 1807 or in early 1808 in or around Shoreditch. So far I am drawing a blank. Poor union record states that she was a pregnant single woman at the time.

Robert Weaver, no idea where he was born. I know that he married in Spitalfields in 1810 and had his first child in 1811. So estimated age of who I am looking for is 1790 I would guess. Listed as father to my 3 x Great Grandfather Henry in 1826. No tangible birth records, so I found this record quite interesting.

Family History Beginners Board / Registers of Poor Children under 14 years in Parish Care - St Boltoph/Aldgate
« on: Monday 30 October 23 13:30 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I am looking for some help with interpreting a record, or any expertise in this area.
As the title suggests, this is a register for children under 14, but the person that I am looking at appears to be over 16 in four different records at this institution. It also appears as if he is the only one in this age bracket. Would it be common for this to happen?
I am looking for a potential ancestor by this same name, but I think that if he is 16, he would be too old to be who I am looking for. Help appreciated.

Yes, that is him and what is really interesting on this, is that we have some rather high DNA matches to descendants of this Thompson family (who also match the Bedford descendant), so the plot absolutely thickens with it all. Its a real boggle.
I believe that one of these Bedford boys is the biological father to my Nan. My Mum has a first-ish cousin match to Stanley Bedford's granddaughter, so I initially thought that he was the father but he was married and doesn't appear to have ever left Ireland so thought that it was more likely to be a brother of his. There are some clear questions regarding this Thompson relationship and have managed to rule out my DNA matches other grandfather because of this Thompson link the evidence is quite strong.

I don't know enough about the time to know whether or not it would have been likely for a single Irish man to travel to England for work etc. It will likely always remain a mystery!
