James Jefferies (Week 5 - FFFFMF)

[kiterunner]

There's a William Jefferies marrying a Jane Jefferies 4 Apr 1771 at Mangotsfield. Or a Samuel Jeffris marrying a Jane Jeffris 28 May 1764. There seem to be a lot of Jeffrieses around there, all marrying each other!

lol

I will get the death cert as she is bound to be a relative.

Thanks for your help Kate!

I can't say I mind about James and Elizabeth as I was never too happy with James' baptism. I'm quite happy to exchange him, esp if it's for the right person

Maybe my 1802 Elizabeth didn't realise she was b in a neaby parish, not Mangotsfield?

[kiterunner]

There are loads of Elizabeth Jeffries baptised in nearby parishes!

[kiterunner]

A few public trees on ancestry have your Elizabeth being the daughter of Robert Jeffries born 1776 and Jane born 1776. But none of them has much info showing where they got this from, nor info about Robert or Jane.

[kiterunner]

Looking through the baptisms, that means the owners of those trees think she is Betty Jennings Jeffery baptised 19 Jun 1803 at Dyrham, daughter of Robert Jefferies of Marshfield and Jane Jennings who got married 19 Jan 1795 at Dyrham. But there is a Betty Jeffries who got married in Dyrham in 1825 so I don't think they're likely to be right.

[kiterunner]

Actually I think your best bet is going to be to get that Jane Jeffries death cert - there are so many Jeffrieses around there!

[Merry]

I am getting it Kate!

I can't get wildly enthusiastic about this line - I don't know why not. They get quite interesting in the later part of the century. Maybe it's because I feel it will be difficult to pin down the right people for certain......

Staple Hill. Mangotsfield, Bitton, Kingswood and Potters wood are all close together and within walking distance of me. Here is a link to South Gloucestershire burials http://www.bafhs.org.uk/burial-data/...er=j&start=200

Thanks Anne - there's another site made much more tricky to search after a re-vamp!
