Edmeads Birth Look-up please:Frindsbury,Kent.

[Romilly]

Hello there,

I wonder if someone on here would be kind enough to look up a birth entry for me for my G/G/G/Grandmother Charlotte Mary EDMEADES?

She married my G/G/G/Grandfather, Charles Hamilton in Frindsbury, Kent on the 16th February 1831. He was a Mariner, & they seem to have moved around a bit. Their daughter Ellen Hamilton, (my G/G/Grandmother, was born in Deptford, Kent in 1845.

So far, I know nothing about the Edmeades...

Hoping that someone will be able to help.

Best Wishes, Romilly.

Hi Romilly

If it's this family, looks like she was born in Middlesex:

Eliz'h 12 b.Oxford
Ann 10 b.Deptford

Wm? KING visitor 1 b.Greenwich
Char't HAMILTON mar 45 (occupation hard to read but could be "Green'h .....? Pen'r wife" (Greenwich .....? pensioners wife) b.Middlesex
Ellen 5 b.Deptford
Ann HUGHES inmate wid 60 needlewoman b.St George East

If she did happen to be married and/or baptised in Frindsbury then you can view the parish registers online:

Many thanks for that Casalguidi,

I  think I have found Ellen's family in 1861.

Father John Hamilton b.c. 1830 Dumfries Scotland is shown as married and a Master on vessels in Cornwall, whilst living in Camberwell is (I believe)
his wife and children . Wife Ellen is shown as 32 married and from Wandsworth Surrey, daughter Ellen aged 15, son William 14 both born Deptford, Kent.
10 years later in 1871 Ellen has left home as she married in 1868,her mother Ellen Hamilton, (née Edmeades) is living with son William at Woolwich Dockyard and still shown as married.

I still can't find a Birth Entry for Charlotte Mary Edmeades:-(
As she married in Frindsbury, Kent...I am assuming that she came from Frindsbury?

Can anyone on here see it?

Cheers, Romilly.

Am just revisiting this family again...and note that I have never found a Birth or Baptism entry for Charlotte Mary Edmeades.

Also note...on looking at Ellen Hamilton's Birth Cert, for September 1845, - that her father was CHARLES Hamilton, not JOHN(!)

And so I can't help wondering now if the Marriage that I have, (Feb 1831 in Frindsbury...is correct or not).

Any Help Welcomed!
Cheers, Romilly.

The witnesses to the marriage of Charlotte and Charles were Elizabeth LEVY and Richard GATES

Which Site are you looking at for that Bearkat?

Cheers, Romilly.

Gosh...thanks for that Bearcat!

I note that they didn't need permission for the marriage, and so were presumably 'of full age'?

On their daughter Ellen Hamilton's Birth Cert in Deptford, Kent in 1845, it has 'x, - the mark of father', Charles Hamilton. And so I'm guessing that they must have been illiterate...and that those signatures are not their own?

I still can't find Charlotte Mary Edmeades Birth or Baptismal Record:-(

Many Thanks for the help,
Romilly.

I think the register was signed by Charles and it's quite an accomplished signature.

Everyone on that page who couldn't write has X her/his mark
