Can't find a christening for Charles

Ann King Wissett mother Ann

Henry William Wissett mother Anne

There's this christening for a Charles Henry King 1796 Bray Berkshire
parents named as William King & Anne Wissett
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JQ16-678


I wonder if these are the marriage entries for Charles King & Mary's
daughters marrying surname Wissett

1837 Mary Ann King Wissett
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2DH7-3KV

1847 Ann Maria King Wissett

Another christening where father is named as William King

Isaac King father William King mother Anne Wissett King
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JQDF-KPF

he married as Isaac King or Wissett 1819 Lavenham Suffolk to Charlotte Clover
and appears to be buried St Peter & St Paul 27/3/ 1820 Lavenham Suffolk age 22
as Isaac Wissett

Thanks again keyboard and Ladyhawk. The children in London are definitely John Turner and Celia's. They lived in that area before going to NZ.
The King Wissett idea is interesting. Could Celia have dropped the Wissett from her name? I do know that she had sisters. I found the marriage certificate of Mary Ann King Wissett and it states her father is Charles and his occupation was listed as Cordwainer (which I looked up an is a shoemaker) so that information matches.

Forgot to add this not sure if info. already been given but just in case.....

burials

Charles King age 64, 30/3/1860 St Peter & St Paul Lavenham

Nothing for Celia  but mentions Anne Wissett child Charles King Wissett, says she married
William King 1793 - you would need to verify info. http://historyofsuffolk.co.uk/cosford/lavenham/d303.html#P8129

Have just found these transcription entries for  Suffolk Baptism Index 1538-1911
these children were illegimate and Chr St Peter & St Paul Lavenham
mother Anne Wissett

Anne King Wissett 15 Mar 1801
Susan 21/01/1806
Sarah 10 Jan 1811
Elizabeth King Wissett 10 Jun 1813
from Elizabeth’s christening entry her father’s occupation noted as a Tailor
She married as Elizabeth K Wissett 14 Aug 1831 Lavenham to Smith Goold

Thanks for more interesting information to think about. If Celia were illegitimate that might explain why she went with just King. It does seem weird though that there isn't a Charles King born a bit earlier than 1796. There are also lots of Charles and Celia's on the link you sent but no fit the story as far as dates go. One of the family members in Australia was trying to work this out many years ago but sadly she died. It was also before so many things were online. It would be great to solve this little mystery. Thanks for all of these leads!

  So frustrating trying to find a Celia, but baptism Susan 1806?

Also Sarah Turner was baptised 22nd September 1841 born 16th December 1838 along with an Ann b 13th September 1841 St Stephen,  Coleman Road Father John occ Shoemaker Mother Celia
So Martha =Ann

I just noticed on the last website that there is a Henry Ambrose who married Ann King. Henry and Ann were witnesses on Celia's marriage certificate. Maybe Ann was Celia's sister or cousin. It is also possible that Henry was as well. Just to throw another name in the mix, when Celia and John Turner lived in London they testified at the Old Bailey in a case of a man who stole things from their house. Staying in the house was Abbott King (he was the son of Wm King and Ann Abbott of Lavenham) who also testified.

He was a relative for sure but maybe another cousin! Lots to think about.
