Hello and thank you all for whatever assistance you’ll be able to provide.  This hunt is very specific, although I don’t think it will be easy.

I’m looking for the birth of Thomas LUFF, 1769-70, place in England unknown.

He is always described as “nurseryman of Egham, Surrey,” but his birth is not in the parish register there.  I’ve been told the civil parish of Egham also covered some of Berks, so I’ve looked in several neighboring parishes there, specifically Sunninghill, and have not found his birth anywhere.

The only mention I can find of Thomas LUFF in Egham is when he is noted as reputed father of Lydia, born there to Sarah BROOKS, in 1792.

Thomas married Mary SIMKINS 13 April 1795 at St Martin in the Fields.

Their children were:

John (not yet found)
Mary (not yet found)
Robert (bap. 18 Feb 1800, Sunninghill, Berks; my direct line)
Catherine (bap. 18 April 1802; died 6 May 1802, Sunninghill)
Thomas (bap. 15 May 1803, Sunninghill [died 1850, Berks])
Ann (bap. 25 May 1806, Sunninghill)
William (bap. 12 July 1807, Sunninghill)
Jane (bap. 6 August 180-9, Sunninghill)
Catharine (bap. 7 July 1811, Sunninghill)

I can only assume that John and Mary are the eldest children, as I have not located their births/baptisms.  They are mentioned in their father’s 1830 will and daughter Mary is married to Thomas WILLOUGHBY by that time.

(I mentioned the death date of the son Thomas so as not to confuse the two men.  Also, son Thomas married Mary SIMKINS, his cousin/mother’s niece.  Please do not confuse the two women, either!  LOL!)

Thomas LUFF (1769-70) was buried in Sunninghill  27 July 1830.  I’ve his will and photos of his grave.

(BTW, there is a marriage record of a Thomas LUFF of Egham, Surrey, to Hannah GODIN of this parish in February 1770 at St George Hanover Square.  The LDS did not film this parish.  I’ve checked with the parish and they cannot find a birth for a Thomas LUFF there for the period 1750 to 1780.  I do not know if these are my Thomas’ parents, but I suspect they might be.)

Without his birth/baptism information, I’m a standstill to take this line back.  I appreciate your efforts and thank you for your assistance.

Happy hunting!

Hi, Cathay, the only WILLOUGHBY is the one who married Mary LUFF and I've no information about him.  It would be great to find her birth (1795-1799) or her brother John's (same time frame), but I'm really after their father's birth 1769-70.

I also don't know the other surnames you mentioned???

Thanks very much!

[sdbadger]

Cathay, I now see your confusion!  The surnames posted after my "initial post" are NOT my surnames.  They must be Tephra's.

My surnames are those on my reply to you.  Sorry for the confusion!

[cathayb]

well i have a few of those names (yours)but they will only be relevant if any of yours are travellers.let me know.cathay
