Hello List. Hoping someone can help with a little info on the early life of Elizabeth KNIGHT who's pob was given as HARWICH in the 1851C. Age given as 81. She married about 1793-95, Jonathan JOSCELIN, possibly in Suffolk but maybe in Harwich area. I say "possibly Suffolk" because a son, was baptised in Stratford St Mary in 1796. Other children were born in nearby SFK parishes but I have not found a marriage. I haven't had an opportunity to go through any PR's for the Harwich area. Would there be very many? She was still alive for the 1861C, in Colchester, but died the same year aged 91. It would be nice to know who her parents were and where she came from. I have put various requests for info on this lady on other lists but so far no-one has responded. Thank you. Joan.
Hello, The Suffolk FHS is publishing quite a lot of information on CD and the two main projects running at the moment are baptisms for 1813-1900 and marriages for 1754-1812. (Marriages for 1813-1837 for the county was published on CD some time ago.) From the index CD for marriages in Carlford, Colneis, Samford and Wilford deaneries for 1754-1812: - Jonathan JOCELYN, single, of Stratford St. Mary, married Elizabeth KNIGHTS, single, (probably) of East Bergholt, at East Bergholt on 26/06/1796. The Society should also be publishing a new CD containing marriage licences for the Archdeaconry of Suffolk (the eastern half of the county) for 1613-1750 fairly soon - I loaned the book to them on Saturday. Regards, Charles Fuller. joan wrote: > Hello List. Hoping someone can help with a little info on the early life of Elizabeth KNIGHT who's pob was given as HARWICH in the 1851C. Age given as 81.
