Pearson's of Spratton, Northamptonshire 14th century to abt 1830

numbers12 — 2009-09-20 09:43:21Z

Does anyone have any information about the really early Pearson's in Spratton, especially when they arrived in Spratton, probably from East Yorkshire before 1419. Early spellings of the name are Pirson, Person, Persoun.

Has anyone else traced their direct male line back to THOMAS PEARSON, of Spratton, Northamptonshire, temp. Rich. III, and handwritten is the date 1483 which may refer to the date he was granted his Coat of Arms, and if so did you get any useful information from the College of Arms?

Crick Northants 1700's families

senatorjack — 2009-09-04 11:44:14Z

These are couples in my direct line born in Crick Northamptonshire England. William Thomas Iliff (born 1788) married Elizabeth Cooper (1790) in 1825. John Iliff (born 1747) married Mary Marson in 1781. Humphrey Iliff married Ann Powers in 1735 in Crick.

Thomas Cooper (born 1759) married Martha Bucknell (born 1762) in 1787. John Cooper (born 1731) and Martha Cowley (born 1737) married in 1756. Thomas Bucknell and Elizabeth Sabin (born 1722) married in 1746. Thomas Cowley (born 1710) and Eleanor Mordant married in 1732. William Sabin (born abt 1695) and Elizabeth watts (born abt 1699) married in 1719.

If you have additional information abt these families I would love to hear from you.

Re: FRANK DORLING NORTHAMPTON

manddallan — 2009-09-04 09:39:36Z

Just a couple of suggestions

There were lots of Dorlings in Suffolk so perhaps he came from there.

Also Frank might not be his first name. He could be recorded under his other Christian name. eg if he was J. Frank, then could be John, James or whatever.

Also I believe you listed her as Gertrude B. Hunt. The marriage might be under whatever the B stood for.

My Gr-grandmother was a Hannah Jane, in various records I see her recorded or signing as Hannah, Anna, Jane, Jennie.

Perhaps Gertrude never married either "husband" but just lived with them. She wanted to be respectable, so told everyone she was married.

The directories are good as I presume they are similar to ones I have seen where the list residents by name and they list streets with residents. There is the possibility the family living there rented rooms to Gertrude and her families.

Hello Janet
Do you have any information on the PERKINS Family? My grandfather, Harry Perkins was the village butcher and his father, George Frederick was also the butcher. Harry and Alice had 12 children, Joan, George (my dad), Isobel, Tom, John, Christine, Fred, Albert and Phyllis. Babies John and Mary died in infancy when the family lived in Towcester.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Re: The Right Wrights Please

numbers12 — 2009-09-20 09:26:49Z

I'm also descended from Brookes Wright, bap 1 May 1709, married Ann Worley through his eldest son John, bap 10 Jan 173. He married Abigail Goodman 8 May 1750 and their daughter Ann, bap 14 Oct 1753 married Jonathan Blencowe, a widower, 11 Apr 1774. The name Brookes does seem to crop up a lot in the Wrights of Brington - does anyone know anything about the reason for this? I've got 5 Brookes in my tree, the earliest baptised 1633.

Also, do you all know about The List of Families in Brington for use of Viscountess Althorp - it dates to Jan 1780, and through this I discovered that Ann, 27, spins and is a drunken and scold! I've just realised to my horror that on my tree (Pearson/Pigg) I haven't listed the source for this information - have to go back through my disorderly notes. All the families in Brington at the time are listed.

Another wonderful source of info was Aspects of Brington by Dr Stephen Mattingly. Blast - just checked on amazon.co.uk and it's currently unavailable, but if you google it then some sellers have it 2nd hand. I've found it invaluable. Anyway, I've saved some relevant info from the book onto my tree as stories. There are also some interesting snippits from early wills - looks like the Wrights were flamboyant characters.

William Reynolds c1771

steveclark89 — 2009-08-18 12:29:59Z

Looking for any information that can help trace William Reynolds c1771, profession Shoemaker. He married Grace Margaret Meades (c1771) in 1793 in Banbury St Mary, Oxf and had at least 4 children that I am aware of :John 1796, Sarah 1803 and Jehoiada 1805 all born Bloxham and Charlotte who died in Banbury in 1803. In 1806 I believe that he was a witness to the marriage of John Reynolds and Katherine Higham both from Edgecote Northants but also married in Banbury, Oxf. As I have been unable to trace either William Reynolds or Grace Meades in Oxford I am wondering if they were also from Northamptonshire and that maybe Charlotte was born there. Can anyone help shed some light on this families origins. Any help much appreciated. Emma.

John and Sarah are living at Blockley, Worcs. on the 1851 census. Children range in age from 14 down to 1. A birth certificate of one of the children would give mother's maiden name, which may help to find parents' marriage.
