Hi Chris,

Please could you check on John Mepham 7.2.1762 for me?

On one source I have him as the child of John Mepham and Mary Carpenter and on another he is shown as the child of John Mepham and Elizabeth!!!

It is the children of John Mepham and Mary Carpenter I am interested in and so far I have:
 
Ann 1763
Benjamin 1765
Hannah 1769
James 1778
Sarah 1782

there is a confusion over John and maybe the above are also incorrect?

Many thanks HL
 

Hi Hampshire Lass

I've just had a look at another source of Heathfield parish registers to answer your question and have found the following:

John baptised at heathfield on 7 Feb 1762 was indeed the son of John and Elizabeth.

John and Mary had the following children baptised at Heathfield:
Ann, 4 September 1763
Bengamin 29 December 1765
Hannah 31 December 1769
James 18 October 1778
sarah 3 February 1782

Hope that helps

John Mepham married Mary Carpenter at Heathfield on 9 April 1761

Hmmm interesting, I can't find a marriage of a John to a Elizabeth.  Could Elizabeth have been a mistake written on the records?  Should it actually be Mary??

Hi Kerry,

Thanks for looking up those records, very kind of you   

I think we may have been looking in the same place     SFHS?

My confusion started because I originally had the birth record for John from familysearch, which says he is the son of John Mepham and Mary Carpenter.  Then, a few days ago I looked on SFHS for any more children and they have John as a child of John and Elizabeth.
I have the marriage of John and Mary, but just didn't think to look for a marriage between John and Elizabeth. By not finding one that does seem to indicate the birth has been incorrectly transcribed on SFHS records.  Thanks for thinking to do that.   

I can probably rely on the familysearch record now

Morning Chris, this time I am specifically looking for Mary Starr's family she was bp 1st April 1743 (SFHG) or 1744 (Familysearch) the daughter of John & Mary nee Unknown there is a James & Sarah Starr having children in Heathfield around this time also

i can see no other children for John & Mary can you? can you see Johns bp. do you think James & Sarah are connected ?
 lots of questions some can be answered i think with the PR's from Heathfield and some from the SMI

N.B. Mary Starr married first to Henry Head she bore him 2 girls then she married Samuel Punnett and they had a son.

i believe Mary died in 1797 - i know your records are from 1613-1753 so won't show the burial but may show her siblings and her parents and possibly her parents siblings and parents if of course they all came from / stayed in Heathfield

Hi - Am interested in the Heathfield registers (for surnames Stredwick and Tamkin) but since your post was four and a half years ago thought I'd first check you're still there! Please reply if you are and I'll give you some names. Thanks, Pat

The registers cover the period 1612 to 1753

Bapt:
Bapt   5 Mch 1726   Joshua the son of Henry Stredwick and Ann his wife

Sorry, but that is your lot and no Tamkin listed at all

Thanx for that, Chris - will have to wait till everyone's DNA tested to link everyone up I think, but I do think all of us Heathfield/Stredwick descendants obviously have a common ancestor somewhere back in time! ATB, Pat
