Hertfordshire / William Humphrey & Sarah : Searching for their marriage
« on: Monday 05 January 15 11:24 GMT (UK)  »
Hello

I am looking for the marriage between William Humphrey & Sarah.

Their daughter Martha was baptized at Rickmansworth 19th Jan 1794. (She married as Humphries).

I have found two Possible Marriages so far :
William Humphrey  & Sarah Keene at Tring, Hertfordshire 20th Nov 1776.
William Humphries & Sarah Taylor at Baldock, Hertfordshire  20th Apr 1775.

The marriage to Sarah Keene stands out because Martha's son David Brister married a Sarah Keen in Rickmansworth 1849.

Canada / Mary Ann Prince : Baptism c1833/4 in New Brunswick or Quebec
« on: Sunday 04 January 15 18:29 GMT (UK)  »
Hello

I am searching for the baptism of Mary Ann Prince c1833/4 in New Brunswick or Quebec ?.

Mary's parents were William & Jane who married in Buckland, Berkshire, England in Apr 1832. Mary was baptised in Buckland, Berkshire, England in Apr 1835. In that baptism it states that Mary was baptised in America about 1833. This means that the family were in Canada anytime between  Apr 1832 - Apr 1835.

Here she is on the census with her place of birth.

1851 : Age 17, Born New Brunswick      (Living in Witney, Oxfordshire)
1861 : Age 27, Born America      (Living in Stanford, Berkshire)
1871 : Age 37, Born N America, Frorickston ?  (Hard to read. Does it mean Frederickton ?)  (Named Mary A  Brown. Living in Swindon, Wiltshire)
1881 : Age 47, Born Quebec, St John, New Brunswick, North America, B,S     (Named Mary Ann Brown. Living in Swindon, Wiltshire)
1891 : Age 57, Born New Brunswick, N America      (Named Mary Ann Brown. Living in Swindon, Wiltshire)

Hello

My 7x Great Grandfather George Sturges marriage to Elizabeth Constable 12th Oct 1713 at Reculver, Kent is in the Bishops Transcripts but not in the Parish Register.

This seems very strange indeed. Would anyone know a possible reason for this ?

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Frances Webb burial 1861-1869
« on: Wednesday 19 November 14 12:04 GMT (UK)  »
Hello

I am trying to locate the burial of Frances Elizabeth Webb (formerly Gill) between 1861 - 1869.

She was born c1843 and was the wife of George William Webb and they are living in Paddington in 1861. They had two children born 1860 & 1861.

George remarried to Sarah Drury in 1869 Bethnal Green. He is stated to be a 'Bachelor' on that marriage certificate for some reason.

The two children of George & Frances are living in Lambeth in 1871.

I have found two possible deaths for Frances :
Fanny Webb - 1867  Kensington  age 24.
Fanny Elizabeth Webb - 1863 Shoreditch  (George was living in Bethnal Green 1869).

It would be good to find the burial before i choose which certificate to order.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Probate Account 1673 help please
« on: Saturday 17 August 13 09:51 BST (UK)  »
Hello

This is an extract from a Probate Account from the Consistory Court of Canterbury in 1673. The deceased is Richard Sturges of Herne, Kent.

This is how i transcribe it. The words in brackets i can't work out.
'Item paid (...) unto the said Stephen Sturges for a Legacy given unto by his grandmother Jone, in mony & there (...) the said deceased did receive in his lifetime and remayned unsatisfyed by him at his death, the sum of - - -'

Stephen is the son of Richard.

Is the grandmother the grandmother of Richard or Stephen. And is the grandmother named Jone ?

According to my research Stephen's grandmother's were named Maudlin & Alice. Not Jone. I believe that Richard's mother may of been named Joane though.
