I was searching for these details on this list seventeen years ago with limited success.  I am asking the same questions again in the hope that in the time that has passed, new information could have been found or new list members may have some knowledge. I am seeking information concerning John Padman and his ancestors. John Padman was born about 1757 and married Susannah Swannack/Swanach on 5 May 1781 and was buried on 12 February 1813 at St. Swithins.  At the time of his burial he was described as a gardener who lived at Back Lane parallel to Broadgate. Susannah Padman was buried on 14 September 1811 when her age was recorded as 53 years which would mean a birth about 1758. The couple had six known children all christened at St Swithin's Thomas 1785 (1810) 1855 married Ann Cawston Elizabeth 1787 (1808) married George Webster John 1790 (1812) 1827 married Mildred Towell Eleanor 1794 (1817) 1821 married Thomas Flatters Ann 1796 William 1799 (1842) 1845 he married Eliza Ann Dow and died in New Hampshire U.S.A. Thomas  and William both became Methodist ministers. I am descended from one of Rev. Thomas' family members who came to Australia.  Rev. William went to Nova Scotia and then New Hampshire   There is very little known about the other siblings and nothing is known about John and Susannah's background or ancestors. ANY additional information will be very welcome Regards Chris ADELAIDE, South Australia

Strange, there seem to me very few Padmans in Lincolnshire. One in the Christ Hospital School book (Enoch) and one inquest (Robert). The only Padmans in the Lincoln City Baps & Burs are the ones you have quoted, although it states that Susannah's age in the BTs is 54, different from the parish register. There are no other Padmans in any of the other bap/burial indexes. Several in the marriage indexes. They must have come in from somewhere else, but there are none in the Index to Settlement Certificates, although not many have survived for the Lincoln parishes. There is only one Swannack in the Lincoln City Baps/Burs, not Susannah, although that name is quite common in the Horncastle area. Alternatively could it be derived from PATMAN? I suggest a look at Family Search (IGI section) to see where the name appears in the 18th century. According to our index the marriage of John and Susannah took place on the 5th June 1781, not May - I just checked the online parish register and our index is correct. John Padman was able to sign his name, Susannah Swanack (sic) made her mark. We have indexed so much now that the scarcity of the name does point to their arriving from somewhere else.

Chris - although I can't add any information about the PADMAN family, in the 18th century my SWANNACK ancestors were living in Reepham and Branston.  However, I can't identify a Susanna in my family to match your dates - incidentally, was she recorded as a spinster or widow?  On the other hand, my 5xgreat-grandfather William SWANNACK's sister Mary married a William FLATTERS in 1788 at Timberland, and their children were baptized in the Dunston/Waddington area.  William FLATTERS's youngest brother (William was born 1766, the first child of their parents' marriage) was named Thomas, and he was baptized in 1786 at Nocton - so he may have been Eleanor's husband if he survived infancy.  I know little more about the family at this time, but William SWANNACK is recorded as owning properties in Nettleham and Reepham in 1799.

A smattering of newspaper articles relating to the Lincoln PADMANS - there are more, the following being accessed from the 'Findmypast' website - afraid it is subscription based. If you didn't already know - your John PADMAN senior was a gardener in his own right - perhaps a 'market gardner' who rented land in the City of Lincoln? Stamford Mercury, 20th September 1811 - Friday's Express Edition - Lincoln Death Notices. 'On Thursday last, whilst engaged in milking a cow, Susanna PADMAN, wife of John PADMAN, gardner, of this city, aged 53.' Stamford Mercury, 19th February 1813 - Friday's Express Edition - Lincoln Death Notices. 'On Wednesday the 10th, Mr. John PADMAN, of this City, gardener' Stamford Mercury, 28th December 1827 - Friday's Express Edition - Lincoln Death Notices. 'On Suday the 16th (or 18th) inst., Mr. John PADMAN, flaxdresser, of this City, aged 37, leaving a wife and five young children in a state of great distress.' Stamford Mercury, 16th January 1835 - Friday's Express Edition - Gainsborough Death Notices. 'At Gainsborough, on the 5th inst., Lois youngest daughter of the Rev. Thomas PADMAN, Wesleyan Minister.' St Swithin's - Lincoln John PADMAN, 37 yrs of Broadgate - buried 19 Dec 1827.
