James Banks and Jane Atteridg(e) of Dagnan, Essex

[K Rees]

Seeking advice.

Has anyone come across Dagnan, Essex previously?

Context:
James Banks Hurb [husbandman] of Dagnan, Essex m. 3 Apr 1742 London Jane Atteridg ditto
Fleet Notebooks 1743.

The State Library of Victoria contained a London Curriers' record:
Henry Banks s James  Dagenham Ess labourer to William Hodgson 27 Jun 1761 <free>

Will of Henry Banks, currier of East Smithfiled, Tower Hamlets (1801) recorded mother as Jane and still alive.

Apprentice Henry Banks (East Ham) handover to William Loat, currier of East Smithfield in 1800.

William Loat was also previously an apprentice to William Hodgson, also of East Smithfield.

I would say it refers to Dagenham, just written phonetically.

Thank you for your comments.

One other query and back to the apprenticeship above
to Wm Hodgson 27 Jun 1761 <free>

Would you interpret that date as being when Henry Banks finished his apprenticeship with William Hodgson, and thus, a Free citizen of London?

If anyone can help its on find my past.
I don't have a sub. at the moment

Thank you

Another person called Jean has contacted me in response; and that a Thomas Banks s of James Banks of Dagenham, Essex was also apprenticed to William Hodgson, currier, but on 3 Dec 1768.

She also looking up find my past and found that the Henry Banks, himself, apprenticed a William Newman of Horsleydown Surrey 26 Jul 1794, thus indicating that Henry Banks had finished his apprenticeship. She was not able to find where Henry Banks of 33 East Smithfield, currier, apprenticed his nephew Henry Banks s of William Banks of Eastham around the same times, that is, 1794/95.

Much appreciated.

To any other who may be interested or of help ... my access to resources is now limited.

In reviewing the Banks family of Dagenham, Essex, I have just noticed a word of significance:

[Reference: Will of John Stace of Epping 30 Jul 1751  Messuage called the Globe [see note to12/50-57], in occ. of Eliz. Tanner wid., purchased of late h. John, messuage and garden in occupation of James Banks, and messuage in occupation of Nicholas Archer and Joseph Downell, both purchased of Susannah How, all in Epping Dates of Creation: 30 July 1751 (date of probate)].

The word that I missed was ALL [in Epping] which now could mean that James Banks, actually came from Epping area.
I see that there is at least one Banks family around Epping, Essex: James Banks m. Elizabeth Champness 19 Feb 1738 Epping,

Are there any Wills of Banks around Epping 1700 to 1780 that might give me any further clues?
