What you have printed appears to be a page from the Pedigree Resource File on the LDS site, not from the IGI. Pedigree Resource File and Ancestral File entries are submitted by researchers (exactly the same as looking at a tree on GenesReunited) and vary in quality from well researched to pure fiction. Member submissions on the IGI are the same. Not to be trusted. To be used as a guide only, with everything checked against the parish register.

On the IGI you can tell if it's an extracted entry, ie taken from the parish register/Bishop's transcript by looking at the Messages section on the IGI Individual Record page. It should say "Extracted birth or christening record for locality listed in the record". They're reliable.  If it says "Form submitted by a member of the LDS Church" be warned!

Dee,    Daniel Edwards in fact married Hephzibah Bailey in 1849 at Knotting, so Hephzibah Headland married someone Bailey prior to that.

Thanks for that, John. I originally had Daniel as possibly marrying Hepzibah Bailey, but hadn't seen the record to verify it. Someone else searching the family went to the Records Office and then sent me the Headland information...... 

She's well hidden in the 1841 census......looks like my task for tomorrow to hunt her down. 

The Temperance Edwards who married John Bailey as mentioned on the linked thread is also part of my tree.

...... continuing on the Elizabeth Smith tangent of this dialogue; her parents did in fact marry in Elstow on 26 Jan 1722, William Smith of Sharnbrook to Elizabeth Harper of Elstow.  Elizabeth Harper daughter of Matthew & Elizabeth Harper, baptised Elstow 7 June 1702

Hi all

I know this is an old thread, but I was interested as I have traced my line back to Thomas headland and Dorothy Johnson. With regards to William headland baptised 1719, there is a burial in 1720 in englands death and burial records on family search. I have just started looking at the Elizabeth headland that married mark partridge as there is a Elizabeth hadland marriage a few years later at souldrop. This was to a jos goodman.

My line comes from the Thomas headland and Hannah curry marriage and have followed the line into Northants then to Huntingdonshire and back to Northants again.

Regards

Hello Jon

William son of Thomas Headland was baptised 13 Dec 1719 at Souldrop, this does not name mother as Dorothy although all subsequent childrens' baptisms do. This William, son of Thomas & Dorothy Headland was buried at Souldrop on 30 Dec 1720.

Mark Partridge married Elizabeth HEDLAND on 5 Feb 1746-47 at Sharnbrook. Subsequently as a widower, Mark Partridge married Elizabeth Smith at Sharnbrook on 7 May 1756. Brother assumed? Richard Partridge was a witness. I've not found a death/burial of Elizabeth Partridge prior to that second marriage. All children baptised to Mark & Elizabeth Partridge are dated after 1756.

I've taken it that Mark's first wife was Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas & Dorothy Headland baptised Souldrop on 6 Nov 1726 - on the basis that there are no other likely candidates. The Elizabeth Headland daughter of John & Ann, baptised at Sharnbrook on 30 Sept 1715 was promptly buried there on 4 Oct 1715. Now that there's a marriage of Elizabeth HADLAND to Joseph Goodman at Souldrop on 16 Sept 1750 leads me to question the Mark Partridge marriage. However I have no proof either way as to who she was?

You say you descend from Thomas & Dorothy, via Thomas Hedland & Hannah Curry who married at Melchbourne on 6 Oct 1755 where the PR says he was from Newton Bromswold. Have you any evidence that he is the Thomas baptised on 9 Feb 1729 at Souldrop.

Cheers John

Hi John

I'm not near my records so will have to get back to you on that. From memory the children from that marriage were all baptised in newton. Thomas and Hannah's marriage appear in both melchborne and newtons parish register but from memory the mention in newton are the bahns.

I have come across marriages before that say of this parish when they weren't actually born there. Not sure of how long you had to be of a parish before that came your parish rather than the parish you were born.

I will go and have a look at what I have and get back to you.

Regards

Jon
