MARS(T)ON family in Oakham
« on: Thursday 30 April 20 17:59 BST (UK) »
I have been researching the MARS(T)ON family for many years. I have established a family belonging to Thomas MARS(T)ON and Mary all baptised in Oakham beginning around 1735. I have been trying to find a marriage for Thomas and Mary to no avail. Nor can I find a birth for Thomas. There is another MARS(T)ON family in Oakham, namely that of John and Mary, having children at roughly the same time. There is an earlier family, William or Will and Sarah, who had a child, Thomas in 1698, But he was buried in 1699. I had thought that these might be his parents. Any help at all with this would be much appreciated. Thank you. Kamar

    Thank you so much for that. I didn't know he was a baker. This is such an elusive family every little helps. Kamar

Have searched all the records I have and cannot find a ma. in Rut or Leics.
I assume you have Thos and Mary's children -  Mary, Thomas, Thomas, Elizabeth, Isabella and William

The only bp  for the father found is Thomas  11/4/1712 in Uppingham s/o Robert (no mother's name given).
Date wise it is ok but none of his children was called Robert so I'm doubtful.

As you say an elusive family.

Best of luck
DEXTER-  pre 1800 Rutland & Lincolnshire
DAWSON -  Wymeswold Leics

MARSH- Willoughby on the Wolds
