John Sansum - Tailor of Dursley
« on: Tuesday 15 December 20 17:22 GMT (UK) »
Hi

I am having trouble finding the marriage and birth of Samuel Sansum and Deborah. They had their son John baptised on 5th June 1744 at Dursley, Gloucestershire.

Now John was a Tailor, (he witnessed a marriage Bond in 1768, showing his occupation). This information was found on the Gloucestershire Archive website. On the same website you will see 2 Wills for a 'John Sansum', one 1732, (Occupation Weaver), and another 1749 (Occupation clothworker), both in Avening. It may be just coincidence but all 3 John Sansums are in the clothes trade, so is there a link here?

Thanks for reading this post.

Regards

Eric

Hi Hanes Teulu

I think you are answering the wrong post.

Apologies and thanks for the alert - I'd checked out Sansums last night after reading your post but hadn't intended to post any reply. This morning I've been scratching my head re. the apparent disappearance of several posts I've been heavily involved in elsewhere.. This is a very, very senior moment!! Will delete offending items.

Re the Sansums I was puzzled by timing of these baptisms (FindMyPast - transcripts only) -
Sarah Sansom, 22 April 1744, place Avening, parents John and Deborah
John Sansom, 5 Jun 1744, place Dursley, parents John and Deborah

Also, from memory, did I see the name Sansum (bride) married around 1738 at Dursley where both groom and bride were described as "foreigners"?
