COMPLETED - ALDER Look Up Request for COMPTON

[tesskrose]

Hi,

Would it be possible for somebody some information in the Compton, Berkshire, Parish Records for me?

According to censuses Jane Rose (nee Alden) was born around 1815 in Compton, Berkshire.  She later married John Rose.

I would like to know Jane Alden's baptism, the name of her parents, her parents marriage, whether she had any siblings etc.  In short, anything anyone is willing to tell me

Hi Theresa, I've sent you a pm.

Hi Therssa,

Taken from the Compton PRs from Berks FHS.

Could the name be ALDER.

There is a Jane Alder dau of Thomas & Elizabeth baptised 28-5-1815, Compton.

If it is then; Thomas Alder of Lockinge married Elizabeth Cossell (Cassell),  otp, by Licence. 23-5-1780.
wits Richard Potenger, John Hewett.

There are a number of children born to Thos & Elizabeth between 1780 and 1818
which I can let you have details of if required.

It looks a bit more complicated than that, Alan - seems the first Elizabeth died in 1793, and there was another wife in between who died in 1812 ....

The marriage to the second Elizabeth (Jane's mother) doesn't seem to have been in Compton.

Hi Theresa & Sloe Gin,

I have gone thru the Compton PRs and found the following;
Baptised 27-8-1780           Mary
     "        21-10-1781        Sarah
     "        20-2-1785          Harry
     "        11-4-1790          Rebecca
     "        12-1-1794          Betty
     "        28-5-1815          Jane - already supplied to you
     "        9-2-1818            Ann (privately)   -  Buried 13-2-1818 aged 2 weeks
               
All children of Thomas & Elizabeth Alder

In addition there is a baptism of:
19-3-1797 Rachel dau of Thomas & Hellen*

Baptised 11-1-1821 Martha dau of Rachel Alder - single woman


Elizabeth Alder  w/o Thomas buried 22-2-1818 aged 42

John Alder buried 11-2-1832 aged 80

To add to the complication there is a marriage as follows;

* 25-1-1797 Thomas Alder - Wid  to Ellen Brooks of Compton, botp,
wits; Jos Head, Maria Fisher

Hope this helps.

And

Burial of Elizabeth ALDER 6 Dec 1793
Burial of Hellen ALDER 8 May 1812

Seems Thomas married
1. Elizabeth
2. (H)ellen
3. Elizabeth

I couldn't see the third marriage, or a burial for Thomas, in Compton.

Thank you to you both - these look like strong possibilities.
