There is also a connection with the parish of Polstead.
From at least 1776, the first Wade family (Edward Wade (abt 1742 - 1808, died in Fingringhoe) and his wife Elizabeth Cardinal (b abt 1742 - 1803, died in Fingringhoe)) were living in Polstead - we can see this from the baptisms of Thomas (1776) and Samuel (1778). In 1782, my ancestor Edward Wade (son of Edward & Elizabeth) was apprenticed as a carpenter to someone in Stoke, Suffolk - this parish is right next door to Polstead. This presence in Suffolk further explains why Edward 2 ended up married to Sarah Pritchett (in 1791), who was resident in St James, Bury St. Ed's.
John Whittaker Cooper's father, Thomas Cooper, was born in Polstead in abt 1723. When he married Mary Whittaker in Ramsey in 1755, his abode was Polstead. Quite soon after their marriage, they were in Fingringhoe (their first child was baptised there in 1757). In fact, John Whittaker's grandfather, (another Thomas Cooper) lived in Fingringhoe in the 1730s, but was back in Polstead in by 1767 when he wrote his will.
What I can't decide at the moment is if the Wade family is related to the Whittaker family or if the Wade family were employed by them in some way. Edward Wade 1 is a labourer when he marries (according to the licence), and he and his wife mark. They weren't the same rank as the Coopers, who were farmers who owned land. Before moving to Polstead, they were living in Layer-de-la-Haye, next door to Fingringhoe, so could've known the Cooper/Whittaker lot that way. By 1773 the connection existed because this is the baptism of their daugher Sarah Whittaker Wade. I haven't been able to find out very much about the Whittakers.
I'm now wondering though if the Pritchett family knew the Coopers, through Sarah and Mary witnessing each other's marriages.
Another connection - which could be a coincidence, but there's so many overlapping connections going on here, so who knows - Mary Marsden/Waynman/Nice's brother, John Marsden, lives next door to Charles Stone in Colchester on the 1851 census. Charles Stone is the son of Thomas Lewis Stone & Elizabeth (née Wade). Elizabeth, born in 1771 in Fingringhoe, is the daughter of Edward Wade 1 and his wife Elizabeth!
