Hello Bart. According to the Sedgebrook register his father was Abraham MARKHAM There's no mention of his mother's christian name. Mick
Hello: Thanks Mick!. I actually had this, I forgot about it, and I had Henry Markham's bp date, but no parents, and a conflict of dates, but .... you prompted me at a good time, and have spent an absolute intense number of hours to truly get into this area again. Read me books again, maps, all my notes, printed Notts Visitations, had to go back to some basics, a lot of sorting, a lot, trimmed this area down much, more reading, more sorting, and again. Briefly, I know from years of my own research, that two Henry Markham in Markham books have been confused/combined. This Col. Henry Markham has never been correctly linked, so this must be a first for the history books !!!. I had his bp date, no idea which Abraham. This took time to clean up. But he will be the Abraham Markham mentioned on pg. 26 of The Visitation of the county of Nottinghamshire m. Jane Eyre who have a son Henery Markham*. Abraham Markham of Newbo Abbey, near Sedgebrook, Lincolnshire, m. Jane Eyre, should be the parents of Col. Henry Markham (Commissioner) bp:16-04-1619 at St. Lawrence, Sedgebrook, Lincolnshire. [Henery Markham* bp:1619]: Along with his brother ffrancis bp:1622, are names and genealogy added AFTER the 1614 Visitation to this chart etc. Quite distracting if one thinks Henery Markham* was mentioned living in 1614 !!!. I know one single connected line like this, will have quite some impact on the other nearby associated trees. An awful lot extends from 'Sedgebrook', and connects directly back to the famous Lord Chief Justice, Sir John Markham, and 'Newbo Abbey' probably the most unrecognized place name, meaning, a place name not being properly recognized for region of Markham. 'Newbo Abbey' was apparently VERY CLOSE to Sedgebrook, and Allington part of this family too, just n. of Sedgebrook. [Abraham Markham] that might be mentioned of, or have connections to Allington, is this same [Abraham Markham] of 'Newbo Abbey'. Some offspring married off and lived there!. [Specs]: Just a few blocks away from Col. Henry Markham when living in Dublin, very nearby is one William Markham (Brother ?). I will end off to say, after 20 years of looking into Col. Henry Markham, fragments here and there, if one ever got to put a short book together on him and his life from all primary records, you will find he had the most interesting life, well travelled, well liked, political, very religious, a person of note, a book I would like to read. Cheers - Bart [!!!] .... -----Original Message----- According to the Sedgebrook register his father was Abraham MARKHAM. There's no mention of his mother's christian name. Mick.
