Payne/Paine Marriages Look ups - Northants **COMPLETED**

[SharonG]

I'd be very grateful for look ups for four marriages (greedy I know!). I think some may have taken place in Nobottle.

Thomas Paine (b. Brington) and Martha (b. Wootten) marriage about 1800

John Paine (b. Brington) and Ann (b. Brington) marriage about 1767

Henry Paine (b. Brington) and Alice (b. Brington) marrriage about 1739

Thomas Paine (d. Brington) and Elizabeth BALL marriage about 1700

Thanks - Sharon

Hi Sharon.

Welcome to Rootschat. 

Great Brington Church was where the baptisms, marriages and
burials took place for Nobottle and Little Brington also.

I can not easily see any of these marriages on the
Northants marriage indexes, certainly not in Brington.

I have the original Parish Records from 1754 and can not see
the later ones either.

Therefore are you able to give us any more details please.

Hi Sandy
Thank you for looking into this so promptly! Not sure I can add that much but details below will demonstrate some foundation for these marriages I think. Any pointers would be good.

Thomas Paine and Martha marriage about 1800 - both lived long lives so luckily for me they are in the 1851 and 1861 censuses living in Harpole. Martha's birthplace given as Wootten, Thomas variously Brington, Great Brington - Nobottle. Thomas seems to have been baptised at Brington in 1777. (Their first child, William, born Harpole 1801). I have not found a marriage in Harpole or Wootten but do please check.

My suggested dates for the other three marriages are based on baptisms of children:

John Paine and Anne marriage about 1767 - six children baptised at Brington, first John 1768

Henry Paine and Alice marriage about 1739 - seven children baptised at Brington, first John 1740

Thomas Paine and Elizabeth Ball marriage about 1700 - five children baptised at Brington, first Elizabeth 1701/2. I think Thomas was buried at Brington in 1712 but I have not found a baptism yet. It is noted in one of his children's baptisms that he is a "Labourer of Nas."

I know you do not have the registers for the period of this last marriage but do you know what place "Nas." would be?

This is a new line for me - with all these baptisms in the same place, it is surprising the marriages are so elusive but then again that's family history for you!

Regards - Sharon

Hi Sharon.

I think we may be getting somewhere.

Nas would be Nassington.

I will get back in a moment.

More work needed for this one Sharon.

From same indexes.

Long Buckby Parish Church

10 Nov 1734
Henry PAIN & Anne BROWN

I obviously do not know if you know the area, yet all these
parishes are close to each other and people did travel quite
some distance to other villages, although some didn't think so.

Here is a link to a map that will help with the area.

Yes I think we are getting somewhere. No middle names in the baptisms to help but I now have confirmation of some facts and will carry on trying to find the evidence for the others.

This is my first foray into Northamptonshire so I do not know it at all but I have spend 20 years chasing labourers around Warwicksire and Leicestershire so I know how much they moved around the local parishes.

The map is very useful.

Thanks for a very nice Northants welcome - Sharon

Just to let you know that I have found the third marriage of Henry and Alice at Daventry. He is 'of Brington'!

Thanks again - Sharon
