Hi Keith

That's very generous of you. If Caxton is transcribed could you see if there is a marriage of William BRIGHT to Elizabeth in 1819-21 - their eldest child was baptised in Caxton in 1821.

Many thanks

David in wet windy and thoroughly miserable south of France

My first customer, David, how exciting!
Of course I'll look that one up for you.  Incredibly it was 71 degrees fahrenheit here in Cambridge yesterday...

David,
I hope I haven't duplicated too much of what you have already.
The marriage at Caxton on 10th October 1820 of William BRIGHT and Elizabeth CORKETT (signed her name with a x), both of this parish, by Banns.  Witnesses: Samuel Corkett and Geo Smith.
I'll give you listings of all the CORKET/CORKETT and BRIGHT marriages, baptisms and burials I found for Caxton in the transcripts in a book covering 1741-1851,
Marriage: on 29-04-1788 between John CORKET (x) of this parish; and Mary CHAPMAN (x) by Banns.  Witnesses: Edward Bullen and Henry Anable.

Baptisms: 13-03-1796 Charlotte daughter of John and Mary CORKET
25-11-1798 Samuel son of John and Mary CORKET
03-01-1802 Elizabeth d. of John and Mary CORKET
22-09-1805 Robert s. of John and Mary CORKET
22-04-1810 Sarah d. of John and Mary CORKETT

I'm guessing that the Elizabeth CORKET, b. 1802, is the bride of William BRIGHT in 1820, and they appear to have the following children baptised:
12-08-1821 Charlotte daughter of William (shoemaker) and Elizabeth BRIGHT
11-01-1824 David son of William and Elizabeth BRIGHT
05-02-1826 Amelia d. of William and Elizabeth BRIGHT
25-05-1828 Mary Ann d. of William and Elizabeth BRIGHT
25-09-1835 John s. of William and Elizabeth BRIGHT.
(N.B. William's occupation throughout given as shoemaker)

Just to throw a few more pieces of your family jigsaw in, here are the burials:
09-03-1806: Robart CORKET, son of John and Mary, infant
03-08-1813: Charlotte CORKET aged 18
31-01-1832: Sara CORKET aged 22
30-07-1835: Mary CORKETT aged 66

and finally, burials for:
27-10-1835: Elijah BRIGHT aged 4
01-11-1837: Elizabeth BRIGHT aged 36
12-10-1851: Mary Anne BRIGHT aged 23

See how some of those burials tell of sad premature endings to some of those lives...
very best wishes,
Keith

Thanks very much Keith, just what I wanted.  All of the other Corketts are a bonus, and I didn't have baptism dates either for the Brights, just the year, so nothing has been duplicated.

Thanks again

David

David,
Glad to have been of assistance...With you in the South of France and me just a couple of miles from the Cambs Record Office, feel free to ask again for any look-ups there...

Hi Keith,

When on your next visit to the CCRO would you be so kind to look for the birth of James Hayden of Thriplow c.1775 

I have found two marriages for a James Hayden in 1799 on the IGI, one to Mary King at Thriplow 9 June and the other to Mary King at Barley 16 June.  I don't know if they are the same couple but have based James' birth from this year.

Any help you can give me Keith will be much appreciated  :) :)

Cheers Juddee from Oz

Juddee,
Will have a look in both the Thriplow and Barley transcripts on Friday, hopefully.  Though I've just had a thought - Barley is in Hertfordshire.  There seems to be quite a lot of slipping across the County line that I've come across recently...

Keith,

Thank you for that.......just whenever time permits  :) :)

I think that James (David's grandfather) is the link to David and Ann living in Thriplow as they are entered in the 1851 census for that town.   Perhaps David went to Thriplow to work for rels...who knows  ??? ???

Looking forward to seeing what you may find Keith  ;D ;D

Cheers  Juddee

Hi Keith

... and while you're there, could you check for a Martin marriage please? From the 1841 census, there is the following household at North Brink, Wisbech St Peter:

James Martin, b. 1772
Ann Martin, b. 1806
Hannah Martin, b. 1816
Mariah Martin, b. 1828
Mary Martin, b. 1832
Roady Martin, b. 1833
Elizabeth Martin, b. 1837

Judging from the dates, James' wife is not amongst that lot. Would it be possible to locate James' marriage to see who his wife was?  (I have the suspicion that those younger ones are grandchildren.)

There seems to be quite a few Martins in the area, so if there are too many James Martins, please don't waste any time looking further - I'll be content with what I already have.

Many thanks from yet another warm, sunny, clear day in Cyprus.
