Essex / Re: Thomas Cannom baptised c1774, Stisted?
« on: Sunday 25 February 18 22:50 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks everyone. Lots to go on from there, despite the fact I had a bit of a moment and gave the wrong century! (Now amended.)

I wonder whether they (apart from Thomas) remained in the area. I think the Samuel and Abraham I gave marriage details for, were a generation later, born in the Early 19th century. All of them were carpenters, so it seems to have been a family trade.

There was also an older Samuel and Mary living in Maldon in 1841, which could be the son of George and Mary,, perhaps.

Essex / Thomas Cannom baptised c1774, Stisted?
« on: Sunday 25 February 18 18:35 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

 Does anyone have access to baptisms for Stisted, Essex during this period?
I've recently found Thomas Cannom on the 1851 census for Whitechapel, stating that he is 77 and was born in Stisted.
He appears to be related to my rather elusive Cannom family, but I can't find baptisms for any of them. Others include Abraham, and Samuel. I have only found a marriage (he's already a widow) to Lucy Dixon and a burial for Abraham in Maldon where Samuel also lived. Samuel married Ann Coote in 1835 in Maldon; he appears on the 1841 census and there is no further trace of him.
I'd be grateful if anyone could confirm the baptism of Thomas, (or any other Cannoms) there.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you both, this makes much more sense! I did once
 visit the Suffolk record office to do some research but the person who wrote the Withersfield parish records at this time, had the tiniest writing I've ever seen, so it took me all day to search for a very limited number of relatives!  ::)

Thanks,

I read that as him who's widowed and her single?
I still wonder how accurately his name has been transcribed. I've never come across a Kimmerie before, although that doesn't mean there weren't any.  :)

Suffolk / Sudbury marriage verification
« on: Sunday 05 November 17 16:12 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,
I'm wondering whether anyone has access to view Sudbury marriage records for 1802? Ancestry has given me a possible match as a transcription only and it's a bit of a long shot even allowing for spelling variants of the time. Unfortunately it doesn't clarify which parish church in Sudbury, and I believe there is more than one. The transcription is for a marriage between Ann Mizen and Robert Kimmerie 15/02/1802. I have an ancestor Ann Mizen who married a Robert Kimmence (spelling varies). They lived in Withersfield and the first child I have found was baptised there in 1803, so this would be about right. I have not found any other marriage records that could be them, so I'm hopeful this could be the one.
I know transcriptions can be quite wide of the mark at times, so if anyone is able to look it up for me, I'd be very grateful.
Thanks

Kent Lookup Requests / Re: Wood/Baker Boughton Malherbe area, help please?
« on: Tuesday 10 February 15 12:37 GMT (UK)  »
Yes, Unfortunately when I visited the Maidstone Archive and library last year to search, I didn't have time to go back far enough to find a baptism for either. I found a handful of other Baker records post 1813 (which is a far back as I had time to search) but not a single Wood, which made me wonder whether David was actually from outside of the parish, and perhaps they moved back to his parish after they were married.

None of this helps me track them down though....

If anyone has access to the pre 1813 registers for the parish, I'd be very grateful for help on this one, as I'm unlikely to get access to these records again in the next few years.

Yes, David Wood is recorded as her father and written underneath is 'putative father'. The witnesses were James Glover and Sarah Godding, neither of whom mean anything to me, unfortunately.
While I realise that this doesn't necessarily mean he is alive, David is not recorded as deceased.

The marriage was actually in 1848, not 1841 as I originally typed. I've corrected this now.

Kent Lookup Requests / Wood/Baker Boughton Malherbe area, help please?
« on: Sunday 01 February 15 22:28 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,

I'm trying to find further information on my 4xgreat grandmother Frances Baker and her husband David Wood.

Frances had two children when she was single: David born and died 1827, and Mary Ann Baptised Mary), my 3x great grnadmother 1829-1908.

Frances married David Wood in 1834.

Both baptisms, baby David's burial and the marriage were all in Boughton Malherbe.

Mary Ann's marriage record states that David Wood is her putative father, and given his name, it seems that the baby might have been the son of David Wood. I haven't been able to find out whether there are any bastardy records for the children.

I have not been able to find any further records of Frances or David, either in census returns, deaths/burials or baptisms.

Mary Ann might have been in the Faversham Union in 1841, and was married in Stoke in 1848, but I have found no record of her parents there either.

Any help finding out more about these two would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

US Lookup Requests / Re: Hugh MacKay emigrated from Scotland c1879?
« on: Friday 03 October 14 23:22 BST (UK)  »
Yes, it looks like him, thanks. I know most of his family were seamen so this would make sense.
I'm not surprised Hugh is proving to be more of a problem, he may not have gone to US, or he may have changed his name to avoid being found. He certainly seems to disappear from all UK records after this point though. *sigh*
