Help Birth look up please

[amanda t]

Hi again Alison,

Although this doesn't help you find John's parents, its worth having the full set of census entries.

In 1861 he was living at Stratisfieldsaye, Hampshire:
John Fenn Head marr 39 groom Coggeshall Essex
Jane Fenn Wife  marr  34            Gosport Hampshire
John Fenn son  unm 11               Pimlico Middlesex
Joseph Fenn son unm 2?              "            "

RG9  710 67 18


In 1871 at Old Dairy House, Stratisfield, Hampshire

John Fenn Head 49 groom Coggershill Essex
Jane Fenn Wife 45              Gosport Hants
Elizabeth Fenn dau 9          Stratisfield Hampshire

RG10 1236 79 31

Hi Alison

I will keep a note of your request and take it with me when I next visit the ERO.  This may not be until April as I have an 81 year old mum downsizing and moving from Suffolk to Essex on 13th March, an 81 year old dad who is in residential care (Alzheimers) and three teenagers - so I'm a little busy at present!

I agree with you I've had some very helpful responses to my queries so it is nice to be of help to others.

Regards
Deborah

Hi Deborah

Sounds like your gonna be very busy! Hope everything goes well with your mum's move.
I also have 2 teenagers and 1 who thinks he is, but hes only 9, So i know only two well that they are enough to keep you busy.

Thanks again that will be great, and goodluck with everything.

Regards
alison.

Hi Alison

Sorry but I haven't forgotten you.  My mum moves into her new property this coming Thursday (3rd April) so she will be settled - well apart from being surrounded by millions of boxes!  So all being well I aim to visit the ERO sometime the following week (w/b 7the April).  However, as it is the two week Easter break for us here in Essex from this coming Monday I may get down to the ERO before Thursday.

I'll print off the info you've posted and take it with me.  Fingers crossed after your patient wait I come back with some info for you.

Regards
Deborah

Hi Alison

Finally I made it to the ERO this afternoon.  I found the baptism of John Fenn on 17 March 1822 - he was born on 17 November 1821 (a helpful Rector recorded his birth at baptism).  His parents were a John and Sarah Fenn.  The church was just recorded as Gt. Coggeshall.  I imagine it was St. Nicholas.

I also found a sibling for John - Rebecca baptised 13 May 1826 (born 12 April 1826).  I was a little short on time (as usual!) and a further visit could probably unearth some more siblings.  I did quickly look at the marriages around the 1820s but couldn't see John and Sarahs.  However, Sarah could have been from another parish and married there.

I did find a marriage for a Edward Fenn (? John senior's brother) to a Charlotte Bridge on 8th January 1822 at Coggeshall.

I hope the above is of use and furthers your searching?

Regards.
Deborah
