I strongly suspect that a number of my ancestors were members of Non Conformist or Dissenting churches.
They were not baptised or married in their local parish churches at the LMA and I have checked the records held at the National Archives for the NC churches and Dr Williams Library to no avail.
They were living in the Bethnal Green/Spitalfields/Mile End areas before 1837.
There were lots of churches in the area but none contain my ancestors, names Jeffryes and Arrowsmith in particular.
Can anyone advise on where any additional records may exist?
Thanks in advance

Looking for anyone with connections to the Shenton family in Chelvey ca 1750.
I have a lot of information on the descendants of this family and am looking to their origins, they did not come from Chelvey, no mention of the name in the parish record prior to 1747.
Shenton is not a common name in Somerset does anyone know where they came from?
Thanks

Hi MJP,
Thanks for your reply.
The Reference on the 1851 census is . HO107/1841 Bradford on Avon folio 375 page 2.
All I know for certain is that on my GG Grandmother's marriage cert her father is Edmund Haines a Bailiff.
All attempts to locate an Edmund Haines that fitted known facts had failed until the other day when a distant relative also looking for Edmund, found the entry in the 1851 census.
GGGrandmother Mary Haines was born in south east Surrey very close to the border with Kent in 1829 in Chelsham to Edmund and Ann.
I have located the Edmund in question in the 1841 census in Westerham, Kent, 1851 census as above, 1861 census also in Bradford, Wilts and 1871 census in Croydon, which is where Mary was married and was living. Ages and birth places are consistent throughout.
In the 1841 census they have a daughter Mary age 12, which fits with the expected age for Mary. They also have a son George age 14 which also fits with know facts for another researcher who is descended from him.
An Edmund Haines died in Croydon in 1873 age 68 which fits with the age in the census. I am awaiting the death cert.
The birth place given in the 1851 census for the 3 children born in Kent looks like Westhevn, but there is no such place. I strongly think that it is Westerham which is where they were living in the 1841 census.
All the facts seem to point to this being the family I am looking for but it is the movement, twice between Wiltshire and Surrey/Kent that makes me have doubts.
Hope all of this makes sense.
Thanks
Regards
Derek
