Stephen Puddephatt

[corinthian]

Hi,

Just wondered if anyone out there can help. I am trying to confirm whether or not the Stephen Puddephatt who was born in about 1813/1814 in Chesham, Bucks and who married Elizabeth Adams on 20/10/1833 in Chesham, Bucks and who died in June 1856, aged 44, in Tyler's Hill, Chesham, Bucks (buried 15/06/1856 at St, Mary's Chesham, Bucks), was the son of Stephen Puddephatt (1793-1867) and Lydia Nash (1796-1833). Stephen and Lydia were not married until 16/04/1818, but I know that this doesn't always mean anything.

Via various on-line trees Stephen's parents are recorded as Stephen and Lydia, John Puddephatt and Ruth Elbourne and John Puddephatt and Ann Foord.


Any input would be greatly appreciated.


Regards,


Coreen

Hi Vance,

Thanks for that. I think I've got all of the relevant Wills - no mention of Stephen!

This is just information which you have probably already gathered.
There is a marriage for Stephen Puddephatt to Sarah Barnes 1837.
This looks likely to be Stephen who was previously married to Lydia. He dies 1867 of Brockurst Farm.

Your Stephen is living in Hog Lane in 1841 close to Ann Puddephatt with her sons John and Reuben. Similarly in 1851 he is close to Reuben.

John Puddephatt married Ruth Elbourne 1808
John Puddephatt married Ann Foorde 1816

Are these the same person?
Which John left a will in 1838, I wonder.

There is a burial for a Ruth Puddephatt in 1831 but no age

Hello
Have you seen Stephen Senior's Will of 1867 ? Does that mention any grandchildren perhaps?
He left £3000 so there may be a few small things left to grandchildren and wider family,not just the wife.

This is the Stephen who looks to be the one who married Lydia and Sarah, I think, looking at the names mentioned but worth investigating.

The 1837 electoral roll has
Puddephat, John Jnr Hog Lane, Chesham and Puddephat, John Chesham

The 1838 only has one John in Chesham

The elder John is on the 1841  in Ashley Green Lane, Chesham age 75 so maybe he is the one who married Ruth Elbourne?
