James Digby Who were his parents?

[sandiep]

have been trying for a long time to trace the parents of James Digby born c1818 Boreham Essex

In 1859 he married Jane Stent and on this cert it said father James Digby deceased.........it also said James was a widower...... and the 1851 census has him age 32 a general dealer with a wife Mary age 29 b Stratford Essex.

James & Mary had 5 known children
Hannah b c1842
James b c1844
George b c1846 all born Stratford Essex
william b c1851
Amelia b1857

James & Jane had 4 children
Jane Elizabeth b 31/3/1861 our line b Stratford
Ada Sarah c1865
Elizabeth c1864 these 3 born Hertford Essex
Frederick James c1873

so love to hear from any decendents and if anyone can shed any light on either James 1st wife or his parents I will be eternally grateful

Have you tried the parish register?

if as I presume you do mean have I visited Essex Record office No
but I have searched other sources and have now sent for his marriage cert to first wife Mary Scutt maybe his father was still alive and his profession will be on this
the ammount of James Digby,s from Essex is endless...........I guess what I am hoping for is another descendant who may have got further back than me...I am happy to share I have a number of certificates

Not necessarily. For example, you could order it through the mormons as an alternative to going to Essex.
