Looking for the parents of Thomas Creamer 1750 Olney Buckinghamshire England

Question

Thomas Creamer died 1837. He was married to Sarah Watts, they had 4 children, all born in Olney. I have checked in the Olney Parish records, family search etc

Answer 1

How certain are you regarding the year of birth for Thomas Creamer?  The only death registration I can find for 'about 1837' in Buckinghamshire is Q3 1837 Newport Pagnell district and that is for a Thomas Creamer age 54 which would give a yob c1783 - although it should be noted that civil registration only began on 1st July 1837, so any deaths before that date would be recorded in parish registers only.

With the above information, there is a baptism in Olney Bucks for a Thomas Creamer on 16th August 1783 with parents Thomas and Sarah (plus a daughter Elizabeth to the same couple baptised on 21st August 1781).

Comments

Thank you. I am not completely certain about the birth date, but the Baptism record mentioned is the right Thomas Creamer. No further forward on finding his parents. He may not have been born in Olney as I could find no mention of his birth in the Parish records. He was married there. Thanks for your interest.

Also his marriage date was 8 Sept 1776, so this would suggest his birth date would be abt 1750, possibly 1755
