Has anyone lost a Joseph PAYNE/PAINE born about 1762 somewhere in England. Joseph, my ggg grandfather, who was a widower at that time (what happened to his first wife?) married Jane Rowe in the village of Great Addington, NTH, ENG 29 March 1813. As there are no details in the parish registers of Great Addington for either Joseph or Jane they may well have come to Great Addington from another place/parish. Family tradition states that our PAYNE/PAINE family originated in Thrapston, NTH, ENG which is close to Great Addington but now that I know that all civil registrations for Great Addington are entitled "Registration District of Oundle and Thrapston in the sub-district of Thrapston in the County of Northampton I am wondering whether that's where the tradition concerning Thrapston comes from. So, has, anyone lost a Joseph PAYNE/PAINE from Thrapston (as that's still possible) or anywhere in England? Jim Jim & Bev Payne NEW ZEALAND jr_bjpayne@xtra.co.nz
