Turvey 1841

PRIGMORE/PREGMORE

James Preston Prigmore born c 1815 to Wiliam & Mary [a Removal Order sent Mary and her son back to Turvey. as her husband was in the Army, in shortly after their marriage].  I dont know if he survived or if there were any more children...I think the father may have died abroad?

I have found William PRIGMORE of Turvey in the National Archives - he was discharged from the the 30th Foot Regiment [aged 43] in 1829...so he would be in his mid-50s by 1841 census.  I am really looking for his son [James Preston PRGMORE] and any other children born to him and wife, Mary.

Ps: the Nat archives reference was from the Royal Chelsea hospital does that mean he was a Chelsea Pensioner?

I'm looking Cathy, honest!

I'm looking Cathy, honest!

So am I Cathy but so far without luck - the only Prigmore family living in Turvey I can see is a Richard and Mary born c1800 with a daughter Ann; then there is a John Prigmore born Turvey c1821 with wife Mary. Not much use!

James Preston Prigmore was baptised in Cardington in 1815 according to an IGI member submission, his parents presumably William Prigmore and Mary Lovell who married in Cardington on 21 Apr 1808 (William widower of Bedford St Paul per transcript)

I can't see any other children, or see James in any census (yet). If Mary was removed from Cardington to Turvey in 1808, presumably after her marriage when she would have acquired her husband's settlement, she still managed to have her son at least baptised in Cardington IF the member submission is correct (you all must know by now what my view is of member submissions!).

A William Prigmore aged 50 was buried at Bedford St Cuthbert on 2 Apr 1835 but this might be a complete red herring.

Yes, William would have been a Chelsea Pensioner, meaning merely that he was entitled to an army pension, not that he was resident in the Royal Hospital Chelsea

What else do you know about James, Cathy?

On the IGI there are several extracted baptisms for children of a William and Mary Prigmore, the first being

Sarah 10 Sep 1809 Bedford St Cuthberts

then a clutch in Goldington running from 1814-29

Whether these are anything to do with your couple Cathy remains to be seen, Sarah somehow looks promising.

No luck with the census yet.
Jan

Forget the Goldington children there is a marriage which fits with them.
Still liking the look of Sarah

Many thanks, David & Jan...

I did answer a lady about PRIGMOREs in Turvey [many years ago].

Dickens and his wife were often fighting and he was done for Breach of the Peace but that was before I found the PRIGMOREs were an interest of mine!

I think I have lost Jn Preston PRIGMORE!

I will look out for the Goldington PRs, Jan - because there may be something there?
