I've a few today, but one of them will have to have a piece of his own, so here are the others
Philologus Collett my 5 x g.g.uncle was baptised in Eye, Suffolk in 1706/7
Isabell Chambelaine my 20 x g.grandmother was baptised in Morton by Bourne, Lincolnshire on 1 March 1561. She married aged 17 and had at least 12 children over 20 years. The 10th became my 9 x g.grandmother.
Charles Albert Heaton my husband’s g.uncle was baptised at St Luke’s Church, Chelsea in 1840
Elizabeth Day my 3 x g.g.aunt was baptised at St Peter & St Paul, Belton by Grantham, Lincolnshire in 1788. There was another daughter called Elizabeth baptised in 1785, I presume she must have died. Following the first Elizabeth, a daughter called Ann was born in February 1787 and died on 9 April 1788, when the 2nd Elizabeth was only 3 months old, about 5 weeks after Elizabeth’s baptism. The poor mother had already lost her first child aged 5 in 1785.
John Thomas Brand my g.g.uncle died in Manchester in 1899 aged 40. He was the g.grandson of Charles Gilchrist below. I don’t know the cause of death, his is just one on a list of many certs to purchase eventually.
Charles Gilchrist my 4 x g.grandfather died in Boston, Lincolnshire in 1829. He came to England as a member of a troop of the Fifeshire Cavalry a Fencible unit. He was born about 1770 in Scotland, but I can’t confirm his birth. I found a probable one on Scotland’s People, but the only link is that both Charles and the father of the child on the baptism record were gardeners and the mother’s unusual maiden name (at least in England) was given to some of Charles descendants as a middle name.
William Benson my 4 x g.grandfather was buried at St Cuthbert’s Church, Aldingham, Lancashire in 1837. Unfortunately, just a few months too soon to have a death certificate with a cause of death shown. William was a weaver when he married but whether he stayed with that profession or not I don’t know. Certainly his eldest son, my 3 x g.grandfather was a farmer.
And most importantly Adam one of my grandson’s was born this day 1997. Happy 16th birthday Adam.
