Thomas Green CLAPHAM marriage 1797-1799

[Eyesee]

Trying to find the marriage of Thomas Green CLAPHAM to Mary Magdalen ??, sometime just prior to 1799-1800.

Their first child was named Thomas Picton CLAPHAM born 1800, so her maiden name could have been PICTON. Thomas Green CLAPHAM's mother's maiden name was GREEN.

Second child born Westminster Sep 1801

Third child born Northaw, Hertfordshire May 1803.

She was buried at Northaw, Hertfordshire on 20 May 1803, probably from childbirth complications.

Thanks

Not finding a marriage 

Was he a soldier? There are some Gazette entries for a Thomas Green Clapham.

Ancestry has a baptism for  Henry Charles Clapham 15 July 1807, son of Thomas and Mary Magdalene.  Is this a late baptism for the third child or was Mary still alive??

It looks like they had a daughter baptised 17 Jul 1803 so was it this Mary who was buried in 1803? (perhaps I was just getting confused by your post)

According to Northaw BTs

Henry Charles s/o TG and MM Clapham was baptised 6 Jun 1803.
Mary Magdalen Clapham buried 20 May 1803
Thomas Green Clapham buried 6 Oct 1803.

No daughter baptised 17 Jul that I can see.

With both parents dying close to each other, the children would have been brought up by TGC's three sisters who were living in Watford, and may have thought Henry Charles had not been baptised and had him done again.

Yes TGC had been in the army, so he may have married outside England somewhere.

The baptism came from a transciption on FindMyPast

A Thomas Clapham married Mary Leigh 1794 in Hatfield so maybe a case of more than one Thomas & Mary Claphams around at the same time

Apologies, the baptism for Henry Charles was at St Mary, Watford, Hertfordshire.
