Wade - Goldhanger Parish Records

[mantha1302]

I have connections to some Goldhanger Wades but they seem to originate in Braintree.

I have found the following Wades in the Goldhanger parish records which I thought may be of use to other researchers

Mary daughter of John Wade the younger and wife Ann buried 17th Aug 1624
Sarah daughter of John Wade the elder and Ellen his deceased wife was buried 20th March 1625
Alice wife of John Wade the elder was buried on 15th June 1627

I really would like to talk to you about this. I think the Grimes - Wade couple actually had two weddings. Shall we say I don't think they were exactly conformists! Have you ever heard of Ed. Howes. He kep a diary or 'commonplace book' in the 1640s (it's in the BL manuscripts section  Sloane MS 979 actually) - he mentions them. That's how I have found your comment here. I think he might even have married them outside the formal marriage arrangements.

I am not a nutter by the way, I have been studying these things for a while.
