Essex Lookup Requests / Great Baddow births/marriage
« on: Monday 24 July 23 00:09 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find the birth of William Jervoise/Jerviss around 1660/1688 and his marriage to Elizabeth around 1700/1705 in or close to Great Baddow.

I know William died in May1743 and was buried in St Mary the Virgin, Great Baddow. Elizabeth was also buried there in September 1741.

They had at least 6 children, all baptised in St Mary the Virgin:
John 1706, Elizabeth 1707, Lucia 1710, Hannah 1712, Philip 1714.
I suspect there would have been a William born before John, but can't find his baptism.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you for your replies. There seem to be a lot of Palmer families in the area of Roxwell, Writtle, Shellow Bowells and Willingale Doe, and they seem to favour the same group of forenames, which makes it very difficult to distinguish one family from another.

Yes, I believe that Francis Palmer Jnr married Sarah Gowers in Roxwell in 1759. Sarah's parents were Thomas and Sarah, so if Francis's parents were Samuel and Lucy, that would seem to fit well with the grandchildren's names.

It is strange that Francis Jnr and Sarah Gowers had no child named Francis, although I did find an Essex death for a Francis Palmer in 1770. Perhaps he was the first son, born in 1761 or 1762?

Francis Palmer was baptised in 1734 in either Roxwell or Willingale Doe. His father was also Francis Palmer. His mother may have been Ann. Could someone please look up the baptism? Thank you.

Thank you for all the extra information.

I found a burial for Mary on 8 June 1836 in Willingdale Doe, St Christopher's, which says she was 37, so born about 1799.
I have been unable to find her birth though.

The image itself is of a page headed Register of burials in the West of London and Westminster cemetery, Earl's Court. Old Brompton

Fairly sure that's Brompton Cemetery
Yes, it is. Thank you for your help.

There's a burial for the 1868 death in Brompton Cemetery. Date 1 February. Place of death Charing Cross  Hospital.  Parish removed from - st Clement Dane. Private grave

May I ask where you found this? I couldn't find John or Sarah on Brompton Cemetery's own site for burials.

That's very interesting, thank you.

Charing Cross Hospital was still in the Strand in 1868 (it moved to Hammersmith in 1973), so was local to the areas where John lived. St Clement Dane was nearby, so this could be a match. Brompton Cemetery seems an unusual choice for burial as it is quite far away.  Was Sarah buried there too by any chance?
