Hi Richie The only marriage on the Hunts Marriage Index of an Eastwell to a Mary was in 1776 in Waresley where Libnah Eastwell married Mary Brunt widow. There is a burial in Gt Gransden on 10 March 1776 of Mary Eastwell, although whether this is the same Mary needs checking. (Waresley and Gt Gransden are adjacent parishes). There is another Waresley marriage in 1784 of Lebbens Eastwell widower and Martha Milton widow, and a burial on 9 Dec 1816 of Lebbeus Eastwell age 68 in Waresley. How sure are you that Thomas’s mother was Mary, rather than Martha? It appears as though Thomas birthplace was Waresley, Hunts in 1789/90, per the 1851 census, although he married in Gt Gransden, Hunts. Great Gransden baptisms/marriages 1683-1876 are on the BVRI, but unfortunately not Waresley. BVRI has the following Eastwell baptisms in Gt Gransden 27 Aug 1811 Martha dau of William & Rebecca (this looks to be an error as all the following parents are Thomas & Rebecca) (possibly this was the Martha who was buried on 9 ?? 1811 at Gt Gransden). Naming the child Martha might be a pointer to Martha being Thomas’s mother’s name. 8 Dec 1814 Frances dau of Thomas & Rebecca 30 Jun 1816 John son of Thomas & Rebecca 29 Nov 1818 Robert son of Thomas & Rebecca (buried 27 Feb 1821 age 2+) 19 Nov 1820 James son of Thomas & Rebecca 9 Nov 1823 Joseph son of Thomas & Rebecca IGI also has christenings in Little Gransden, Cambs: 26 Nov 1827 Elizabeth dau of Thomas & Rebecca 11 Oct 1829 Betsey dau of Thomas & Rebecca Curiously your William b c1813 doesn’t appear. Do you have details of the Eastwells from the 1841/51 censuses? If not I have them. If you think that Lebbeus is the father of Thomas I can probably get more details about him. Hope this helps Regards David richie wright <richardwrightadsl@dodo.com.au> a écrit : can sks help with any links i have a mary eastwell b abt 1776 m to ?? eastwell their son thomas m rebecca cook on 16/4/1811 their son william b abt 1813 m mary townsend on24/12/1837 looking for any dates re bdm for this family regards richie in bowen --------------------------------- Nouveau : téléphonez moins cher avec Yahoo!
