Ramsey Parish Record LOOKUP needed - Overall

[Galium]

The Hunts baptism index shows 13 children of James Overall/Overal, all at Ramsey, and this agrees with the Ramsey PR transcript.  Possibly John did not live long enough to be baptised in the church?

Children of Robert Swain baptised at Ramsey:
10 August 1677 John (Swaine)

24 May 1681 Booth (Swaine)
28 August 1682 Dorothy
29 February 1683/4 Thomas (Swaine)
16 November 1685 Robert
13 May 1688 Carrina (Swan)
13 September 1689 Catherine
7 April 1693 William

For the last four baptisms Robert is 'Mr Robert'

I don't see a baptism for Robert who was buried in 1682.

There was a Dorothy Booth d/o William, lab. baptised at Ramsey 2 September 1660.

I can't see a marriage at Ramsey for Robert and Dorothy.

Thank you Galium, that is awesome 

I am just working through the Swain wills now, and with look out for Booth's as well

Robert may have been from Leverington, Cambridgeshire...I wonder if they married there?

Well Galium, I found Dorothy's father's will in Ramsey in 1679

England & Wales, Prerogative Court of Canterbury Wills, 1384-1858
Probate:    20 Jan 1679/80
Written: 4 Nov 1679
William Booth of Ramsey, Gent
Mentions:
Wife Elizabeth
Daughter Dorothy Swaine the wife of Robert Swaine of Leverington, Isle of Ely, Gent

I wonder if you could have a look and see if there are any siblings for Dorothy Booth in Ramsey?

2 August 1655 Elizabeth Booth d/o William
18 October 1655 Francis Booth s/o William lab.
31 December 1656 John Booth s/o William

I don't see any others in Huntingdonshire in this time frame.  William didn't marry in Ramsey.

Thanks for checking Galium...interesting that two are baptised in 1655

Also interesting that William is described as a 'lab'...by his will in 1679 he is a Gentleman!

I wonder if there are two William's....

Amyway, I will squirrel this information aside to investigate further
