Winepress of Sandy

[johnP-bedford]

I'm looking for siblings of Catherine Winepress chr 10/DEC/1787 in Sandy, Beds; and marriage/siblings of her parents listed as Thomas Winepress & Catherine on IGI.

Thanks for looking
John

Hi John
If you search the IGI by entering father and mother on right nothing on left you will find two siblings Elizabeth and Dorcas

Thanks Jan, 

Looking at Elizabeth chr 23/JAN/1785 it suggests father as Thomas or William Winepress & mother as Catherine or Judith - don't they know ?.

The William Winepress married Judith Ball on 25/DEC/1784 & had their own Elizabeth chr 13/JAN/1792 at Sandy. I have info on William's line - I was trying to find a link to them from Catherine.

Regards John

Hi John
Perhaps if you could get the originals checked you might find two Elizabeth Winepress baptised on same day? If no-one here can do that for you the archivists at the Bedfordshire RO are extremely helpful if you email your query.
I would think William and Thomas are very likely to be brothers or cousins as it is quite an unusual name and Sandy isn't that big a place - the double christening would seem to make it more likely.

Hope you can sort it out

Hello Jan

Spent time in Bedford library gleaning all Winepresses from Sandy PR.

The Elizabeth Winepress christened 23/JAN/1785 is daughter to Thomas & Catherine. The entry is marked with an asterisk & annotated saying that William & Judith were originally recorded but now erased - & Thomas & Catherine written in at foot of page

that sorts that query - on to the next

I cannot find marriage of Thomas Winepress to Catherine in Sandy PR, nor on the IGI, so assume not married in Bedfordshire.

The Thomas if from Sandy, could be one of these two
-   chr 10/MAR/1754 son of Thomas & Elizabeth ??
-   chr 09/MAR/1755 son of Thomas & Ann (Maddey of Potton married 1749)

The 1st Thomas could be son of the Thomas chr 1723,  being son of Thomas & Elizabeth Blain, who married 5/FEB/1721.

There's lots of what ifs & unknowns - any suggestions welcome

cheers John
