Northamptonshire Lookup Requests / Re: RICHARDS - Baptism in Woodford
« on: Thursday 20 November 08 17:17 GMT (UK)  »
Hello Sandy

It's quite possible for John & Mary to have moved to another parish after their marriage and had children before returning to Woodford by 1788.  Looking at my road atlas, Woodford is less than 3 miles from the county border with Huntingdonshire/Cambridgeshire so that could be an avenue to try.

I've tried Ancestry and FreeREG

I may have misled you with my last para in my last message.  I have the Humphreys from present day back to Samuel of Samuel & Sarah, Samuels parents, Samuel & Susannah and grandparents Daniel & Elizabeth which you kindly found for me back in April.

Can you tell me who Elizabeth b.1788 and Mary b.1795 married please - maybe their families give a clue.

Many thanks for all your help.

Regards
Jamys

Hello Sandy

The only thing I know about George is from Sarah's marriage cert and that he was a woolcomber.  Sarah was "off full age".

In '41 Sarah is 20 in Woodford but "N" entered into the column for "Whether born in same County".
'51 she is 30 and born Bedworth, Warwick.
'61 she is 40 and born Collecroft, Warwick.
'71 she is 50 and born Colecraft, Warwick.
'81 she is 60 and born Colly Croft, Warwick.

Colleycroft does not appear to have had a church but I've checked the nearby parishes of Chilvers Coton, Bulkington, Walsgave on Sowe, Exhall and Astley.  I've also checked Bedworth and Coventry.

There were several Richards families in Collycroft/Bedworth in 1841, one particular unmarried lady called Sarah Richards age 40.  In '51 still unmarried living with her sister Mary and brother-in-law.  Missing in '61.  Living with her brother John in '71 and still single.  I believe Sarah, Mary and John to be the children of Joseph Richards and Elizabeth Bell, all baptised Bedworth.

A George Richards married Ann Suffolk in 1804 in Bedworth.  They had a son, John in 1805.  I can find no other children for George & Ann.

If Sarah was illegitimate and not a Richards at birth then I wouldn't know where to start looking for her.

I've been picking this one up and putting it down for a few years now, but I still feel there is a link with the Woodford Richards.

The only other thing I have to go on is that Samuel & Sarah's first child, a son, was baptised GEORGE Samuel so the name George must have had some significance.  I can't find a George in Samuel's family so it must have come from Sarah's family and I don't believe a first son would have been called George if Sarah had made up her father's name for her marriage cert.

Thanks for hanging in there Sandy.

Hello Sandy

Sarah married Samuel Humphreys 17th March 1844 in Woodford. Samuel was a carpenter and his father, Samuel was also a carpenter.  Sarah's father was George a woolcomber.  The witnesses were William Abbott and Jane Humphreys (Sam's sister), both William and Jane made their mark.  I have all census returns for Samuel & Sarah and no Richards ever appear with them.

Thankyou Sandy

I suppose the fact that my Sarah is in the same household as John Richards in 1841 could be a coincidence.  I'm sure there is a family connection here somewhere, however (or am I grasping as straws in my desperation??)!!!

I'll have to think of another angle for this one.

Many thanks for you time, much appreciated.

Hello Patrish

Sorry, I don't know yet, I'm not that far back.  I'm really trying to find the birth of Sarah Richards who is my g.g.grandmother born in Warwickshire according to census returns but I can't find her. 

So I'm coming at this from another angle.   I know she married in Woodford in 1844.

Sarah appears in 1841 in Woodford in the household of James Smart, along with a John Richards who is 15 years her senior and unmarried (maybe a brother or uncle).

In 1851 John Richards (unmarried) is still living with James Smart (widower) and John is described as brother-in-law to James.  A kind RC found the marriage of James Smart and Hephzibah Richards in 1811 in Woodford and I have assumed that John Richards and Hephzibah Richards are siblings.

Sarah Richards is the daughter of George Richards according to her marriage cert.

Sorry this is convoluted but, as I say, I'm trying another (any) angle to get to Sarah.

Jamys

Hello All

Can anyone hlep me with the baptism of John Richards, I believe he was born 1803 in Woodford by Thrapston?  Also looking for baptism of Hephizbah Richards.  She married in 1811 in Woodford, so between 1794 and 1803.  I'm hoping that John & Hephzibah are siblings.
