Foundy?
« on: Wednesday 12 February 20 21:54 GMT (UK) »
Hi. I'm wondering if anyone has come across the name Foundy? It's a new one on me. She is my 5th great-grandmother. I know from her parish burial record that she was born around about 1772 and died as Foundy Graham in Feb 1832 in Castor, Northamptonshire. Her husband (though I've found no record of a marriage) was John Graham. Between the years 1792 and 1819 I've found baptism records of 15 children, all in Ailsworth, Northamptonshire. What I'd love to know is her maiden name and where/if they married. I came across a possibility in Foundy Tilcock, born 1772 in Sandy, Bedfordshire but then I found what looks like a burial for her in 1777.

I wondered about those 2 Burial also.

Without seeing the actual Parish Record could the second one be a Bapt?

But if born 1778 she would be only 14 if she had her 1st child 1792 :-\
