Henry BUCKINGHAM 1803 Stanbridge, Beds

[johnP-bedford]

Looked at Stanbridge PRs, for Buckinghams

Only Baptism, is Martha daughter of William & "Luce" Buckingham on 4 Oct 1801
No marriages  ***
Only Burial is Lucy, wife of John Buckingham on 23 May 1809

*** Stanbridge only had a few marriages 1609-1641, 1649-1707, & 1739-1793. The PR states that no marriages were recorded, anyone that was married would be recorded in the Leighton Buzzard PRs.

So from LB parish register. Sure enough entries do have Stanbridge in brackets,  but not your Buckinghams.  Those found are as follows, but none do state Stanbridge.

Baptisms as follows
  4 Jun 1807  Mary  daughter of William Buckingham
17 Jan 1809  Eliz    daughter of William Buckingham

Banns have Wm Buckingham to Sarah Linney on 30 Sept 1810 - but cannot see any marriage in LB

Burial at LB, Sarah Buckingham Jan 11 1811   

So no sign of Henry b 1803, however having just checked his 3 marriages they were all in hamlet of Billington, why do you think he was from Stanbridge ? & no sign of a marriage of William to Lucy

Also I checked the Toddington marriage of Joseph Buckingam & Ann Forster,  it does say where he comes from.

Thanks for all that John.
I have a copy of Henry Buckingham & Rebecca Burrige, both widower/widow.
the marriage took place 1841 at the Parish Curch in the Parish of Standbridge in the County of Bedford.  I got it from the Registration District of Leighton Buzzard.

Other than that I do not have anything that proves William also came from that area.

If you want copies I can send them to you.
Here is my e-mail:  gailkent@saltspringwireless.com

Thanks again for all.

Hello,

I'm just looking at Buckinghamshire Poor Law Records index,  & I come across a Thomas Buckingham & wife Ann & son William;  Removal to Stanbridge, Beds from Radclive, (just 1.4 miles WSW of Tingewick) in 1747.

In same year, again from Radclive, is Thomas Buckiungham & wife Ann & son Thomas; Settlement in Leighton Buzzard, Beds.
