Mason Family

Tis looking good that Joseph is likely to be son of Joseph and Abigail (I hadn't noticed that Hannah's maiden-name was Page) but - as David would say - proving it is another matter! What do you think Kate?

I think you are all on to something here! Its certainly looking like a strong possiblity that Joseph is the son of Joseph and Abigail.

Thanks so much for all your help everyone

Correction. The baptism on 6 Sept 1835 is that of Jane Abigail Page, daughter of Joseph & Hannah Page - not Mason - so there's one pointer discredited.

Joseph Mason & Hannah Page were both minors on their marriage on 12/10/1831 - I couldn't make out witnesses, well one handwriting was so small & the other seemed to be on all other marriages.

Hannah Page I think is daughter of Joseph Page & Rebecca (possibly Clarke). She had an adult baptism at age 17 at Felmersham on 5th June 1831, yes on same day as adult baptism of Elizabeth Mason mentioned earlier somewhere, plus 4 other children of Joseph & Rebecca Page, plus a couple of Huletts. I'll put up the detail later, I have to rush out to 'Horse & Groom' at Clapham for 7:30.

Joseph Page could have married Rebecca Clarke on Nov 9 1806  somewhere (IGI member entry) but its not in Felmersham PR.  Joseph Page married Hannah Valentine in Harrold 30/06/1822.

Hi

I have Hannah Page as the daughter of George and Hannah (nee Browning) of Tempsford, Bedford.

I think I need to go off and have another look at my tree!  Thanks for your help John, very interesting!

Kate, All the census have Hannah Mason (ne Page) born in Radwell,  so I would discount the Hannah Page of Tempsford.      John

Hi again John,

Ok, thanks for that, and all your help with this.  I'm off to have another look at my tree now!
