yaxley baptism request
« on: Thursday 26 April 07 21:58 BST (UK) »
hi
im looking for the baptism/birth of william speechley in the 1851 census he is living with wife ann and son william at arnolds lane, in whittlesey cambridgeshire and the place of birth given as yaxley and the year of birth c1802,i cant find him on the 1841 census at all.there is a baptism for a william speechley in yaxley 1804 and i thought id hit the jackpot,but not that simple when looking at the census 1841 onwards there is another william speechley born 1804 yaxley who married an elizabeth.but there is only the one baptism entry for a william speechley 1804,baptised in yaxley.so not my william it would seem.i have his marriage to ann cawthorn in ramsey hunts 26 nov 1832,she was a widow,older then william.their son william was baptised in whittlesey st marys on 21/10/1833.has anyone any idea where else to look?
                many thanks pat

Theirs actually 3 William Speechleys born Yaxley around similar dates in 1851 census
Your William b-1802 Yaxley married to Ann
William b-1807 Yaxley married to Elizabeth
William b-1804 Yaxley married to Mary

Will have a look around later see what i can find.
Have you got the witnesses of the marriage ?

hi
there is a lot of speechleys in the area of cambridgeshire at that time as there is today,and a fair few of us have the tree back till this generation with william but none have got any further.
im afraid i dont have the witnesses at the marriage and no information on his bride.
