Thank you so much David.  I think that the Silence that died in 1766 is possibly my one. However not too sure about the Matthew. Every branch of the Maw family seemed to have a Matthew, and trying to sort them out is problematic to say the least. Being stuck with Hencefaith meant that I never went further back. Shall do so this evening.

Unfortunately I am not a member of Ancestry. Is there any way in which you could contact the owner of the tree?  If so, let me know and I will send you a private message with my contact details.

Really appreciate your help.

Thank you.  I suspect that this is the Silence Faith (Hencefaith) that married Matthew Maw. However she was baptized in July 1684 but could have been born in 1683.

His son Matthew 1712 married Elizabeth Holgate and one of their children was Silence, but she was born in 1744, so she is ruled out.

Will try and find her burial in the hopes of confirming that it is the one who was married to Matthew.

I appreciate your help.

Thank you. Unfortunately the marriage of Matthew and Hencefaith (Silence Faith) is not available, so I have written to family search in the hopes that they will scan and send it to me so that I can confirm your thoughts. 

I must say that I totally agree with you, but am a "see the paperwork" person before they enter my tree.

Now just for the 4 - 6 weeks wait!

I had not considered that at all.  I know that the Maw family were not Quakers, and, until now, had just been looking into Hencefaith.  I had thought that Matthew and Elizabeth had just picked an odd name for their daughter Silence, not thinking that it could be a family name.

My husband has his family bible and in there was a piece of paper dated 1741 stating that Elizabeth, the daughter of Matthew and Elizabeth (Holgate) was baptized July 20th at Bigby. Signed by, I think, the Minister, one C D Barrand Re?

My husband's relationship is directly through the great granddaughter of Elizabeth - Sarah.

Hencefaith was just one of my brick walls and had just been bugging me for years as I could find no trace at all of her. It now would appear  that the H in the transcription could have been a combination of a badly written SiL. I now just need to go through the marriages for Wrawby or possibly West Halton to find and confirm it.

Really appreciate your assistance.

Thank you so much.  Very interesting as Matthew 1712-1793 married Elizabeth Holgate, and their daughter was Silence Maw, born on 17/6/1744 at Bigby.

I wondered where the name Silence had come from and this has now given me a lot more to explore.

Appreciate your help.

I would appreciate any assistance in tracing the surname of Hencefaith who married Mathew Maw probably in Wrawby round about 1710 or possibly earlier. Matthew was born in approximately 1690.

Their son, also Matthew, was born in 1712 in Wrawby. Unfortunately I do not know the names of any of his siblings.

Many thanks.

I have sent you a PM with the contact details of someone who can get the records for you at a very reasonable cost.
