Research notes
Was Thomas from Walthamstow or Suffolk?
- 1841 census states born Essex
- subsequent census that really do look to be the same chap, remarried, show Long Melford, Suffolk
- Suffolk wins in my book given the family of Daniel and Margaret appear to have moved from Long Melford to Saffron Walden by the time son Charles was born.
- They are not far apart.Henderson-2297
What is Thomas' wife Susan's surname?
- trees show Poulton, Ford or ..
- Ford appears to be based on a marriage (12 Jun 1809, Hackney) of a Joseph Pledger and Susanna Ford, both of this parish and single.
- Both X their mark. Witnessed by Jamima Ford and Henry Baker.
- Not too far from Walthamstow, so not impossible.
- Just fits with date of baptism for first known son James.
- BUT 1841 census shows Susan as born Essex, so why not married there?
- And who were James and Elizabeth Young with the family in 1841?
- Young seems a significant name when you look at son Henry's children's names.
- They are of an age to be Susan's parents.
How on earth do this family connect to William Clinton or Jemima Parker where we have a solid set of DNA matches between descendants who share William/Jemima and descendants of Thomas & Susan's sons James, William and Peter
- working assumption is that if Susan is from Essex and Thomas from Suffolk, it seems more likely the connection is on Jemima's side Henderson-2297
