Thomas of Southend

[womud]

Looking for any information regarding James Thomas born 1808 in  Canewdon Essex  and Maria Markwell born around the same time in Rochford Essex  I am trying to trace the marriage and their parents names.  Their first child I have is Henry born 1833 in southend.
I have them on the 1851 forward census not on the 1841.
Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like this could be the right line.
Thanks again.  I am leaning the more sets of eyes looking into a line the better.

Dear Cp
Have you access to look up Sarah Markwell on the 1841 census as if she has a husband living with her I could get back another generation on the Maria Markwells line.
thanks for your help

You will need to find the marriage in the Parish Registers.

Sarah is b. c 1766    so married c 1785 or later.

Maria is b.  c 1808   probably not first child.

Marriage is probably Great Wakering - Prittlewell - Southend, about 1790.


You can request a lookup, but it is quite a task.

Good Luck!   CP
