Friend Fauchon b 1791 Bearstead

[lisingreece]

I have also tried to research the Fauchons and found a John and Susannah/Susan having children in Northfleet where they married.

They  had a John, James and Robert, Elizabeth, Sarah and Susannah in Northfleet. Have you these children born in the 1770's and 80's.
I have about 40 Fauchons, would you lijke me to send them to you? I am sure you already have more than I have, but you never know!!

Thanks - I do have all the John Fauchon family but perhaps you could send me the Fauchons you have - as you say you never know and I am really running out of options bar travelling across the world to Bearstead.  I have tried the Maidstone FHS but haven't heard back yet.

Can you give us the census references for Friend & Sarah in 1851 & 1861?

[bearkat]

I've found them in 1861 now. 

He gives Bearsted as his place of birth.  There is certaily a gap in the baptisms of John & Susan's children at the right time. They are the only FAUCHON family baptising children in Bearsted at that time  It's possible the vicar forgot to record the baptism, Friend was baptised elsewhere or was baptised much later.

Before the census it is much harder to place children with their parents. 

They are usually only mentioned in the following records:

baptism entry
will
monumental inscription of parents
settlement records

Did Friend leave a will mentioning neices & nephews?

Have you tried finding the marriages of all the other children to see if Friend was a witness?  The fact that he was a witness at Jane's marriage certainly puts him in this family group and may be the only evidence you are going to find.

Thank you for all this work you're doing.  I have found Harriet's wedding and no mention but haven't found the others yet.  I will try wills again but am also thinking he's fallen through the cracks somehow and is a member of John and Susan's family.  It is very frustrating to be so close.
