  • Does anyone live near Threekingham/Threckingham, Lincolnshire?

    We went to Threekingham over a year ago and took some photos of the church. OH's earliest-known Lincolnshire ancestors came from there -

    William and Lettision Dawson who had Ann c. 1739 (baptised April).

    Thanks to the brilliant FreeReg I have found the witnesses for Ann's marriage - one being Edward Dawson. I hope he is a brother, but the two other brothers don't feature in the baptisms, although the girls do. I can't find a baptism for Edward either.

    Edward marries and Eleanor (various spellings) and they had a fair few children - three Edwards, all of whom died.:( They have a daughter called Lettision, so it looks hopeful he is a brother or family member.

    To the point - if you google you find that inside the parish church there is a slate memorial to Edward Dawson who died in 1787. Free Reg indeed has a burial for Edward Dawson Yeoman 7 April 1787.

    I would love to know what is written on it - no doubt we will return in due course, but not for a while.

    Of course, if the church is kept locked, it won't be easy to view it! Barring that, I could get contact details and ask the present vicar what it says!

    Elizabeth - the Lincoln Archives have many folders with memorial inscriptions done by local FHS members (I think).

    If Threekingham is one of the completed parishes I don't suppose the Archive would charge much for telling you what it said!

      Thanks, Anne, I'll bear that in mind. (I think we shall have to make another trip to Lincolnshire.)
