Manship/Manchief?
« on: Monday 05 June 23 18:23 BST (UK) »
I have abit of a brickwall here.

I have a Richard Manship (Some records write surname as Manchief) who is married to a Lucy. I cant find anything more of these two prior to these children's baptisms.

I have the children as -
All baptised at Leicester, St Mary de Castro.

John Manship, bapt 1737. Married Winfred Johnson (As John Manchief), 1761 Leicester, Buried ?
William Manship, bapt 1740. Married Ann Hickton, 1771 Nottingham. Buried 1777 Nottingham.
Richard Manship, bapt 1742. Buried 1757 'Richard, son of Richard Manchief'
Robert Manchief, bapt 1745. Buried 1766, Leicester St Mary de Castro, 'Robert Manchief'.
Henry Manship, bapt 1747. Married Mary Hanstone, 1776 Leicester. Buried 1782 Leicester.
Samuel Manship, bapt 1751. Married Elizabeth Sibson, 1776 Leicester. Buried 1822 Leicester.
There also appears to be two daughters Elizabeth and Lucy, I cant find a baptism at the moment just a burial 'Elizabeth Manchief, daughter of Richard, buried 1757' and 'Lucy, daughter of Richard Manchief, buried 1763'.

Lucy, Wife of Richard Manchief, buried 1755 Leicester.
I think Richard is the Richard Manchieff (Transcribed as Manchiett) who is buried 1775 Leicester, St Mary de Castro.

There also appears to be a William Manship in Leicester who baptises a son William 28 Dec 1734.
There is also a burial for a William Manship and also perhaps an Ann but I cant make out if it says Manship or wife etc, 15 Jan 1734.

I think the burial is two unrelated people on the same day. I adjusted the image to make it a bit clearer.

There are other similar records, including 'Richard Gibbons & Wm Langham'

Thanks for that. I had a feeling that it could be two separate people but wasn't sure.
