Bedfordshire / Re: James and Ann Smith and son William of Eversholt, Bedfordshire
« on: Monday 02 April 18 16:48 BST (UK)  »
A Joel Smith, son of James and Ann, born 16 Oct 1818 (in Eversholt per 1851 census), was baptised in Leighton Buzzard on 6 Nov 1844. Either his parents were very lax about baptising their children or else they were non-conformist.

I reckon James and Ann had another daughter, Mary, born 1816 or earlier, who married John Adams in 1833 in Ridgmont, and their daughter Ann Adams' birth was recorded  at Ridgmont Baptist Church. This Ann was in the same house in Gwyn St in 1841 as the Smiths, and Emma Smith was living in Ridgmont with the Adams in 1841, prior to marrying Mr Berwick;

If Mary Smith was Baptist it might explain why there aren't any baptisms in the Established Church for children of James and Ann.

Hi Terri
Welcome to Rootschat!

Tell  me more! How are we connected? I'm not sure I'd be prepared to admit that I was connected to me!

Bedfordshire is very well covered on www.familysearch.org with virtually all baptisms and marriages pre 1813 having been extracted.

I can't see baptisms for either William or Emma in Eversholt, nor for Elizabeth, another daughter in 1851, nor an obvious marriage for James Smith and Ann. Ann was a widow aged 62 in 1851, born Kempston.

Have you found the family in 1841? (later: I think I've found them in Gwyn St, James 55 and Ann 50)

Cambridgeshire Lookup Requests / Re: Lofts - 3 generations of missing marriages ??
« on: Tuesday 13 February 18 22:17 GMT (UK)  »
It's a bit of an insult to the folks on this board who have given you so much help with your numerous queries over the past few months when you cross post the same query on another board within two minutes of each other.

Are you not satisfied with us?

Cambridgeshire Lookup Requests / Re: Marriage John Jackson and Mary Ann Jones Littleport 1825

Living in Stanfield Norfolk in 1851 were John Jackson 51 born Littleport and his wife Mary A 49 born Ramsey Hunts, who if they the are couple who married in 1825 in Littleport  would not appear to be the couple you are seeking.

Cambridgeshire Lookup Requests / Re: Looking for a wedding near Pampisford c 1715

A long shot!

There's a marriage of a John Frost at Fleet, London, on 11 Nov 1716. The entry is on familysearch, but it appears to have been taken from an index of marriages so the other party isn't named. But searching the same database for Mabel there are marriages of Mabel (l) Harrington at Fleet  London on 12 /13 Nov 1716. Suspiciously close and the references are RG7-041/042/044.

Worth further investigation

I had missed the death of Grace in the Super Search


The super search merely shows an entry for Grace Frost in Pampisford parish register in 1716; It doesn't show that it was a burial. You need to check the parish register to  check whether it was a baptism, marriage or burial.

If you'd checked www.familysearch.org you'd have found a 1707 marriage to Grace Jepps. And the supersearch at the Cambs FHS site to which you've been directed before has an entry in 1716 in Pampisford for Grace Frost, which might be a burial.
