Rebecca Mews born in Sopley
« on: Tuesday 01 March 22 16:05 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for the parents and possibly siblings of Rebecca Mews. The details that I have are that she was born in Sopley in 1758 and she married Benjamin Vivian on 19/10/1779 in Sopley. Benjamin also seems to have been born in Sopley on 1/12/1751. He was the son of Joseph Vivian and Mary Mentren. These two could also have been born in Sopley and information on them would also be of interest.
I believe that 'The Genealogist' has details of Sopley BMD I haven't found details else where.
Help and ideas of where to look would be gratefully appreciated.

First, Benjamin was indeed bp.1/12/1751 son of Joseph but this wasn't in Sopley - it was in Christchurch.   His parents Joseph and Mary Mentren married 29/9/1751 Christchurch.

Rebekah Mew bp.28/1/1759 Freshwater, Hampshire, dau. of Richard Mew and Mary Ellinor.   She had 5 siblings all baptised in Freshwater between 1749 and 1763.

Can't see a marriage for Richard and Mary Ellinor I'm afraid.

There was also a Rebekah Mew bp.27/4/1759 Ringwood, dau. of Isaac.

Don't know how you could determine which Rebekah is yours - she and Benjamin don't seem to have named any of her children with her parents names.
