Daniel Jeffcoat 1835 and 1837 Chislehurst
My 3x-great-grandfather was called Daniel Jeffcoat. He was born at Upper Winchendon in Bucks, was there until at least July 1826, and then his last child was baptised at Holy Cross, Greenford, Middlesex in June 1828.
By 1841 he was at Islington. He was a farmer in Buckinghamshire, and also at Islington. He also was a Guano Merchant. He was bankrupt in 1843/44. I was searching for him on Ancestry and came across a Daniel Jeffcoat at Scadbury Park Farm at Chislehurst, Kent. I'd like to know more about this to see if it is my Daniel or someone different, but I haven't had any luck so far. http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/24...l=ReturnRecord Quite a coincidence, as we drive past this site every week as our daughter and her family live just one mile away!

Thanks, Kate. As I suspected it must be a different Daniel.
It's odd that when I searched the 1840 result didn't show, but I note the different spelling of the surname. |

My daughter has been looking at this again.
Repository London Borough of Bromley Archives Level Item Ref No 1080/1/1/3/1/1/43 Title Agreement for lease Date 30 July 1832 Description Agreement for letting Scadbury Park Farm in the parishes of Chislehurst, Paul's Cray and Foots Cray, Kent between the Right Honourable John Robert Viscount Sydney and Daniel Jeffcoat of Hanwell, Middlesex, yeoman and John Hyde of Northolt near Southall, Middlesex. Sydney agrees to let the property to Jeffcoat and Hyde for 1 year at the annual rent of £207 8s and an additional £50 for every acre of meadow or pasture that is ploughed up. Extent 3pp Access Status Open We think there is a possibility this is our ancestor after all. In 1828 Daniel's youngest child was baptised at Greenford: Name: Joseph Jeffcoat Record Type: Baptism Baptism Date: 10 Jun 1828 Father's Name: Daniel Jeffcoat Mother's name: Anne Jeffcoat Parish or Poor Law Union: Holy Cross, Greenford Borough: Ealing Register Type: Parish Registers Hanwell is just 2 miles from Greenford. He also appears on the 1835 and 1837 poll books in Chislehurst. By 1841 he is at Islington. He might well have lived at Chislehurst for a few years. This is such a coincidence as our daughter lives there now. Scadbury Park is a nature reserve. http://www.scadbury-park.org.uk/ My daughter is going to pay a visit to Bromley Library to look at the document quoted above. |
