Minster in sheppey parish registers
« on: Tuesday 03 November 15 17:33 GMT (UK) »
If anyone has access to the Parish Registers for Minster in Sheppey and/or neighbouring parishes I'd be very grateful if you could look up the following:

Baptism of Catherine Wood circa 1783
and
Baptism of Stephen Mummery circa 1788

I know that Stephen Mummery married Catherine Griffen 13th May 1812 at Minster in Sheppey and that Catherine was a widow.
I have found a marriage on the IGI of a Catherine Wood and Samuel Griffin 29th April 1804 at Minster, followed by the baptism of a daughter Elizabeth Ann Griffin on 6th February 1805 at Queenborough. Samuel Griffen was buried on 7th April 1808 also in Queenborough which is what leads me to believe that his widow was the same lady who then married Stephen Mummery.
I can't find any more info about her daughter Elizabeth Ann Griffen/Griffin - not found a burial or a marriage so if you can find anything on her as well I'd appreciate it.

I know there was a Stephen Mummery born c 1787 in Great Chart but my Stephen gave his place of birth as Minster on the census. If he was not born in Minster it improves the chances of his being the Great Chart one.

Thankyou so much - I can now rule out the Mummerys of Great Chart and concentrate on Minster!
Regards
Sarah

There was also a son John Griffin baptised in 1806 who sadly was buried as an infant in early 1807.

Cannot find anything on a Catherine Wood born c1783 on Sheppey.

This is so helpful, thanks Tony.
I wonder where Catherine came from?

One more favour if you don't mind...

Is there a baptism for Job Mummery circa 1816 in Minster?

Best wishes
Sarah

No Job baptised in Minster

However there is a marriage 4/12/1836 to a Mary Ann [possibly] Parker

No Job Mummery at Minster.  However, there is a Job Gammon the base born son of Maria baptised on 23 April 1815 at Minster.  Might be worth a bit of investigation?  ???
