*COMPLETED*Robert Cork B1809 baptized at Parish Church of Teynham

[croesus]

Hi

I am trying to find out more about my Gt.Gt.Gt Grandfather. His name was Robert Cork b1809 in Upnor Kent. I believe he was baptized on April 3rd 1809 at the Parish Church of Teyhnam in Kent.Although the name could be tyneham? Robert was married(1833) to Maria Payne who was born in Eastling in Kent in 1813.
I am trying to find out who his parents were and what siblings he had. I have information on all the censuses from 1841 onwards but i would be very grateful if someone could take me back further

Thankyou for any help you can give me.

Paul

Hi Paul,
                Welcome to RootsChat and a Merry Christmas .

         Family Search Pilot lists an Elizabeth Cork ,Baptized ,Teynham, Kent.
on 9th April 1809. Daughter of David and Sarah Cork. There is not a listing for Robert shown but that doesnt mean he wasn't  Christened or baptized there just there is no transcription from the orriginal PRs . Some prior to 1812 are very hard to read.
       David and Sarah may well be his parents but obviously proof is needed before you can go further.                             
                       Good Luck with your quest,
                                               Roger

Thanks for that Roger thats an interesting lead. I am pretty sure Robert was born in 1809 so if Elizabeth was his sister that poses a new question again. I have trawled through all the census records and havent managed to come up with any siblings for Robert that i can identify. Hopefully i might be able to make a break through sometime.
Thanks once again for the lead and have a Merry Old Xmas 

best wishes

Hi,
    This is probably Roberts Death , Source Free BMD
 
            Dec 1847  CORK  Robert.       St Giles & C ,  Bloomsbury     1    49

    If you Search Maria Cork Born 1813 on the 1851 you will find his widow and Children.
             I imagine you already have this but no never mind if you have .
                                                      Roger

Yep....have that Roger. When you see some of these names you know there is a strong possibility people are related but then the challenge becomes proving it. I have just looked up and found a David and Sarah Cork with two children on the 1841 census living in Tynham...now i'm sure they have to fit in somewhere....could be Roberts' brother and sister in law. They would have been born around 1811 which puts them in the time frame. What a way to spend xmas eve...lol

kind regards

Paul
