Kinsett/Kensett & Rhodes of Shipley Parish

[Solway]

Only one word for this resume: Fantastic!!

[OneBigFamily]

You are welcome

I'm going to post Philip's resume in a minute but have been a bit side tracked having spotted the Agate surname as the surname of Jane Rhodes mother.

My Philip Kensett (from my extended tree, who married a Mildred) had a brother William (born abt 1757) who corresponded with a Thomas Agate, a senior member of the Agate family who had emigrated to Sparta in the States.

From The Story of the Free Christian Church Horsham by Emily Kensett, on page 101 there is a reference to a letter from Thomas Agate [of Sparta, USA] in 1831, to "Mr Wm Kensett, Slaugham, nr Horsham, Old England" where he wrote ... "I was sorry to hear of the death of your wife...".  (William's wife Mary died in 1827, so their correspondence to each other could have been sparce).

I was just drifting off wondering if Jane Agate, wife of William Rhodes, (parents of Jane Rhodes) was related to Thomas Agate....

Hi Omega,

I too am very appreciative of your help.

Would you be able to look up a baptism for the said Thomas Agate in Shipley at all? 

Thomas Agate Birth June 15, 1775 in Shipley, Sussex, England
Death June 17, 1837 in Sparta, New York, USA

...I obviously have a lot to learn on tracing family history but will start by trying to obtain the birth certificate for Agnes Bertha to learn of her mother and take things from there.
....

Very much look forward to hearing the outcome,

Hi, my friends, sorry for the delay!

My findings since your last........

Birth certificate for Agnes Bertha Dalrymple:-
Born:  24 October, 1880 at 201 Gt. Jackson Street, Hulme, County of Lancaster.
Father:  Charles Dalrymple.
Mother:  Jane K(i)nsett.

Birth certificate for Jane K(i)nsett;-
Born:  27 August, 1841 at Shipley.
Father:  Philip K(i)nsett, labourer.
Mother:  Jane K(i)nsett, formerly Rhodes.

Death certificate for Jane Dalrymple, widow of Charles McClure Dalrymple, gardener:-
Died:  23 March, 1928 at Redcrofts, Parton, Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland, aged 86.
Father:  Philip Kens(i)tt, vetinary surgeon.
Mother:  Jane Kens(i)tt, m.s. Rhodes.

Given the above, and providing you concur, it seems to me that the information you all previously found and sent to me is spot-on and takes me back to Philip Kensett who married Ann Pierce at Shipley on 28 Nov., 1758, and to William Rhodes, married to Jane Agate, who died 4 Aug., 1769 at Shipley.
Added to this, of course, is all the "lateral" information you included on the various siblings of Jane and on Walter Snatchfold, James Botting, etc., etc.

All great sleuthing and many thanks for your time given to me.

Kind regards.

Hi Solway

Thanks for the news on the certificates - a good result that makes sense all round.  The Scottish records are very useful aren't they!

Hi Penny,
Yes, an excellent result and I agree, lots of information in the Scottish records and worth retrieving.
Thank you again.

I have the marriage certificate for Jane Kensett to Charles Dalrymple, my great Grandfather, on 6th February, 1878, at Brigown Church, Mitchelstown, Southern Ireland. Both were aged 36 when they married and the Church is now in a ruinous state.
