Father James occ Grazier - Mother Elizabeth - bapt 21 January 1816

[Paco]

Do you think that could be a Farmer who grazes cows?

[rosie99]

I did look up the meaning as at first I thought it said Glazier but the r looks like other r's on the page  .   Could be a farmer if he was working for himself

[Paco]

It says " a person who rears or fattens cattle or sheep for market" so I reckon he must be a Farmer. I am trying to tie in this baptism with the ones you helped with the other day in Maidwell Northampton, all 4 of those baptisms have father James as a Farmer. Don't know how far it is between the two places, but think I could be on the right track.

Maidwell is eight miles from Great Bowden.

I don't know if you have the marriage:-
James Clarke of Great Bowden to Elizabeth Warren on 5th January 1815 at West Langton - four miles from Great Bowden.
Witnesses - William Clarke and Elizabeth Warren

P.S. There is a tree on Ancestry which has one child baptised in Great Bowden and one, Isabella, in Maidwell
