Henry Thurston 1818 Great Cressingham
« on: Monday 01 October 18 19:55 BST (UK) »
Hi there,
I am trying to research Henry Thurston but have got stuck. Wonder if anyone could help.
I know from 1871 and 1881 census that he was born about 1819 Great Cressingham. He is married to Emma Johnston and have several children. I am trying to find out who his parents are.
I found a christening for 11 Nov 1818 in Great Cressingham with parents of Jeremiah and Judith.
But I can find no marriage for Jeremiah and Judith and no mention of Judith in any records.
In the 1841 census I found a Henry Thurston born about 1820 Great Cressingham but the head of house is Daniel Thurston.
I found another 1841 census with a Henry Thurston born about 1818 but his parents are Jeremiah and Diana.

I am confused about who Henry's parents are or if Jeremiah married again?
If anyone could find any records related to Henry it would be most appreciated.
Thank you
Vicky

When did he marry Emma?

If it was late 1837 or after you can get the marriage certificate to find the name of his father.

He married her in 1864 in Ovington
Can I see that free online or would I have to order a certificate?

Thank you.
I did think maybe Jeremiah remarried to a Diana and there are two marriages of a Jeremiah Thurston to Diana but they are both before Henry was born

So Henry was mid 40's when he married.  I wonder if he had been married before then?

Have you found him in 1851/1861?

I can see marriages for his children online but can't see his unfortunately. 

He has a daughter with middle name Diana.
