Completed - Pickworth Burials 1783

[smudwhisk]

Just wondering if anyone has access to the Pickworth burials and could look to see if there is one in 1783 for an Ann Stafford please?  Unfortunately they're not included on the Leics & Rutland FHS cd-roms and due to health reasons I can't get to Leicester at present.

There are a number of trees on ancestry listing 1783 (but no date) for a burial for Ann Stafford, who would have been a widow as her husband was buried in Great Casterton the year before.  My cynical view is that it probably doesn't exist because most of the trees list Pickworth for events for this family which actually took place in Great Casterton and there were separate PRs for both parishes.  The curiousity is more due to the fact that if a burial does exist it means her daughter Ann was the mother of two illegitimate children in 1784 and 1786, but somehow as the daughter would only have been 16 when the first was born, I think it's probably mother Ann who had the children. 

Any help appreciated, one of these days hopefully will get to look at the Pickworth registers anyway since am looking for mother Ann's baptism to as she was from Great Casterton but just married there.

Hi Nicola

I don't know if you are aware of this post:

This lady has a number of transcribed parishes, Great Casterton and Teigh are among them (close to Pickworth), she may well have more villages now.

Hi Geoff

Thanks for the link, I've just PM'd the lady who posted to see but I'm wondering if she may have done them for the FHS since they seem to be all the parishes that they have published, and of which we have a copy, but Pickworth sadly hasn't been done.

Hi again

You may well have these if you were just trying to determine the mother of the children.

There is a NBI entry, but it would make her b. about 1760:
4 March 1820 Ann Stafford aged 60, Teigh, Holy Trinity, bur. Also on Family Search.

Family Search:
9 Sept 1820, Ann Stafford (no age), Great Casterton, bur.
2 Sep 1820, Anne Stafford (no age), Great Casterton, bur.

The 1820 burial in Teigh wouldn't be correct because the parents married in 1766 and my direct ancestor was baptised two years later!  I would imagine those burials on family search are about as dubious as a lot of the trees on ancestry on this family, and probably the source of the ancestry trees ...   Unfortunately looks like a trip to Leicester RO at some point to see the later registers, I hope she didn't die in Pickworth 'cos it looks like the post 1813 PRs for the parish haven't been deposited (unless it merged with Great Casterton at that date).

Hi Nicola,

As this post was dated quite some time ago I don’t know if you still need the information but here goes.....I have looked at the transcribed Pickworth Burials and there is no burial in Pickworth for Ann Stafford in any year that I can see.

Hi Jadzia

Thanks for looking, I suspect the Ann Stafford I'm looking for is one of the two burials in 1820 on familysearch at Great Casterton because that is where the family were located at that time.  However, the familysearch entries do not have an age on and so far I've not been able to get to Leicester RO to look at the originals.

Hi Nicola,

I'm sure I found other Ann Stafford burials other than Pickworth...I don't have time to look now but will have a look when I am home later and get back to you with them all....

Hi Nicola,

Rutland parishes burials:

10 Apr 1614, Anne Stafford, Wife, Richard,  Oakham.
30 Jan 1703/4, Ann Stafford,  Manton.
26 Oct 1748, Ann Stafford, D/O Willm & Eliz,  Rhyall.
17 Feb 1690, Ann Stafford, D/O Thomas & Jane,  Whissendine.
13 Sep 1760, Ann Stafford,  Whissendine.
21 Jan 1747, Ann Stafford, W/O William, Whissendine.

I have added all the burials I can find on my transcribed parish records even the ones that are obviously too early etc in case they are in your line further back...It may help you discount them if nothing else. My records only go up to abt 1812 so I can’t help with burials after that time i’m afraid.
