  • Well this is a first for me

    I have just received the marriage certificate for John Ingott and Mary Ann Alen 7th Dec 1853 Parish church, Colchester, it shows Johns father as Benjamin Ingott Labourer (no mention if living or dead)

    John was born in 1805, so it is always possible that his father died, but I have checked every database I can think of and even tried google and cannot find any mention of a Benjamin Ingot(t)

    there is nothing....Nada...Zilch....Zero....Zip

    HELP.....

    HI
    I have always taken the view if it does not say deceased then they must still be alive sorry I know that may be the wrong way to look at it but should you find one that looks like a canidate you are more likely to follow it

      Have you found John in 1841 or 1851?

      Or any census for that matter. Where was he born?

            Confused with your dates.
            You say John and Mary were married in 1853 - and that John was born in 1853?

                        Yes, that's only 6 miles from Colchester, though it is a different district.

                          That's risky. I don't have any that say dad is dec'd until 1872, but many did have dead fathers!!

                          Register office wedding do tend to be more accurate though (and non-conformist marriages where a registrar was present)

                            Blimey you lot, I was just gone a minute.:D

                            Ok, Sorry John was born 1805 in Rettenden, Essex

                            He is not on the 1841 census as he was serving with the 43rd foot regiment in Canada.

                            1851 John is at Butt? Road, Colchester, Essex - Chelsea Pensioner

                            1861 John and family are at Butt? Road, Colchester
                            Son - Cornelius b.1854 d.1925
                            Dau - Mahalia b.1856 d.1861

                            There was another Daughter Frances but she died in 1859

                              Surely that can't be him if he married in 1853?

                                Now I did a Benjamin ing* search on 1841 but must have missed that, Hang on just going for a look

                                just seen why it didn't come up, Benjamin is spelt - BENJIMAN

                                  So the 1851 ref I posted was the right one?

                                    Think searching Ben* Ing* has more luck

                                        Ben Ingot in 1841 was shown s aged 50, but he's still a possible if his age was rounded down (just! lol) But he may be a brother or cousin or whatever. Do you know if John had older siblings?
