Could some kind soul please look up the Parish Records for the birth of John Wade in 1817 at Fenney Staunton. I need to know the names of his parents as I have conflicting names for his father.

Thanks to anyone who helps me. It is greatly appreciated.

Kind regards, Deb

I looked this up for you a year ago, and drew a blank.

The answer's still the same. There's a John Wade baptised on 1 July 1804, son of John and Elizabeth, and another on 6 Sept 1835 son of Robert and Mary Ann. The only Wade baptisms in Fen Stanton between 1804 and 1830 were all children of John and Elizabeth.

I asked before where the 1817 birthdate came from? Was it from his death record in Australia or the passenger list, or is it a guess based on his marriage? Could he have been older when he married? If you still haven't purchased his marriage certificate, you need to, as his father will be named, and the witnesses may provide a clue.

I still can't find John in 1841 although there's a Rebecca Richardson living at Eaton Ford aged 20 ie 20-24

Since last year I've acquired St Neots baptism transcript. William Wade was baptised on 23 Aug 1846, son of John & Rebekah, labourer; and Elizabeth on 17 Sept 1848, dau of John & Rebecca, labourer

Hi,
I see their arrival, all on the Duke of Roxburgh, 1849. From looking at the old messages i've listed what i think is each place of birth.

WADE, Elizabeth, inft, St Neot's, Hunts
WADE, John, 30, Fenstanton, Hunts
WADE, Rebecca, 29, Eaton Socon, Beds
WADE, William, 3, St Neot's, Hunts


A marriage certificate will be your best bet for getting solid information on the family. It may well be he John grew up in Fenstanton, but was in fact born elsewhere. All this is complicated by the fairly miserable state of Hunts records no IGI.

I see they had at least one child after arriving in Australia:
V18513027 37A/1851 WADE GEORGE H JOHN REBECCA

Do you know when John died in NSW? What does the death certificate say?

cheers,
matt

p.s. I assume this is their marriage?

Rebecca Richardson and John Wade appear on the same page
Year of Registration: 1845
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
District: St Neots
County: Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire
Volume: 14
Page: 276 (click to see others on page)

and there is only one NSW Rebecca Wade death from 1849-1920:
11175/1902 WADE REBECCA HENRY ST LEONARDS

Do these sound right?

The marriage is also on the IGI, extracted so reliable, where John's father is shown as John Taylor Wade.

Dear David,

Thanks once again for replying to my request.

The date of 1817 comes from John's Australian Death Cert and the Fen Stanton comes from the passenger list for the Duke of Roxburgh.

I have got the marriage details from IGI and will now order the certificate.

Cheers, Deb

Dear Matt,
Thanks for taking the time to reply to my listing. I do have John's death certificate and from your 2nd message, I will order the marriage certificate.

Thanks for your help, Deb
