Puddephatt family from Chesham,Bucks.
« on: Sunday 29 June 14 07:49 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I have been trying to resolve this issue for a number of years now & may have already posted a request for help on this website some time ago (sorry to repeat myself if that is the case).

One of my direct ancestors is a Joseph Pudivat (born c1703) who married Elizabeth May 24/10/1725. I have all the Puddephatt BFHS records (B,M & D) from the 17th century to the 1900s & have been unable to trace Joseph's parentage (no father is named on the marriage records).

Many varying sources have recorded his parents as being a Joseph (sometimes John) & a lady named Hannah but I have been unable to trace the original source of this information & do not want to enter it onto my tree without being sure that it is correct.

The most likely parents,that I can trace from the BFHS records, are a Henry & Elizabeth Pudivat of Ashley Green,Chesham who had several children baptised (frustratingly) just as a 'child of Henry & Elizth'. However,if this lineage is correct,Joseph did not name any of his sons Henry (quite unusual for the time & the family) but did name sons John & Joseph,which makes me think that his father may have been Joseph/John (but then again none of his daughters are named Hannah).?????

I don't want to give up on this but I just don't know how to move forward.   

If there are any Puddephatt experts out there could you please help?

Regards

Coreen

Hi

If you put "Pudivat" or "Puddiphat" into "SEARCH" from the Rootschat menu (above)
you will get the posts where the words appear.

That will get you uptodate (there aren't many posts)

Hi Ray,

Tried that - found a few,some of which were from me! No further forward I'm afraid. Thanks for input.

Hi

Probably isn't any help but could your Joseph possibly be from Hertfordshire, Rickmansworth in particular as it's a short hop into Chesham, there are quite a few Puddephatt families in Ricky including some of my own ancestors.

Unfortunately I'm not at home at the moment so can't check anything for you but if you have no luck finding him I will have a look next week when home.

Hi Maddie,

That's always possible - although I did visit HALS a while ago & couldn't find any trace of him. Some of my Puddephatts & other families from around the same area were born in Great Berkhampstead and/or Bovingdon in Hertfordshire.

If you don't mind it would be great if you could take a look next week.

Thank you

Coreen

Hi Corrinthian
I see what you mean about the baptism's being listed as 'a child of...'how unhelpful!

only a thought, but have you checked the Posse Commitatus for Bucks? I know it doesn't list b, m or d's and it isn't a census but it is very useful as it does list adults in an area and Ashley Green is one of those areas.

HI again Corrinthian

Just as a thought, have you tried to look for a will of the suspected parents.?
I know that a will of one of my ancestors who also lived in Ashley Green [Hog Lane] wrote a brilliant will naming all his children - including one we didn't know about. and it was roughly the same period. should be available from National Archives [on line] for about £3.00

Hi Kay,

I have searched for a Will via both the Buckinghamshire Wills database & HALS but with no luck. Haven't heard of the Posse Commitatus before but will give it a try.
