  • Logical thinker required .....

    I am trying to track down the children of JOSHUA BUCK (occ: Wheelwright) and ELIZABETH (Bowden) who married in 15/1/1816 at Carbrooke, Nfk

    So far I've found the following all baptised at St Peter & St Paul, Carbrooke,

    Philip 4/2/1816
    Phebe 20/12/1821
    John Bowden Buck 25/4/1824
    Mary 15/10/1827
    Sarah 6/11/1831
    Ann 25/5/1834
    William 18/6/1837
    + Henry who was baptised at All Saints, Wicklewood on 12/2/1819

    so far so good .... or so I thought! I've also found the following who were baptised at Wesleyan Methodist Circuit, Swaffham;

    Sarah dob 31/10/1831 / bapt 21/2/1832
    Phoebe dob 25/11/1823 / bapt 16/11/1823 (bapt before birth ???)
    John dob 22/4/1824 / bapt 11/12/1825

    - do you think these are the same children as those listed above?
    - do you think Joshua and Elizth became methodists, hence additional baptisms? (if so why haven't I found the other children?)

    Yes I do think they are the same people, because on the Methodist record for John in 1825 the mum's maiden name is given as Elizabeth Boughdan. It's badly spelled but is surely the same name!

              lol ..............

              just done a quick google and found;
              Church Records
              Methodist Church
              Primitive Methodist Church: Records exist for the Cambridge Primitive Circuit of which Swaffham Prior is part.

              Wesleyan Methodist Church: Records exist for the Cambridge Wesleyan Circuit and the Cottenham Wesleyan Circuit of which Swaffham Prior is part.

              Children baptised at Swaffham

                I think Sarah and John are the same children, but there could be two Phoebes, either that or her year of birth is wrong on the second baptism.
