Thomas Tidmarsh (b.1748? Worcs/Warwicks.)

[geoffpowers]

Looking for information on the date and place of birth of Thomas Tidmarsh who is becoming something of a 'brickwall' due to incomplete registers on-line.

Thomas married twice, on both occasions in Inkberrow, Worcs., firstly to Sarah Harvey in 1773, and secondly to Mary Hoot(?) - this surname could possibly be Hewitt - in 1783.

I am interested primariky in descendants of the second marriage, a number of whom settled in and around Stratford upon Avon in late 18C - early 19C

The Family Search Pilot site has the christening of a Thomas TIDMARSH on 10th May 1747 in Adlestrop, Gloucestershire to parents John and Elizabeth. Although in the next county, Adlestrop is only about 40 miles from Inkberrow.

Something to think about, perhaps?

Thanks for the input.

Unfortunately, I have previously explored this bit of territory pretty thoroughly, and have been forced to exclude the Adlestop Tidmarshes from further consideration.

Lots of descendents of a Thomas & Mary TIDMARSH who were baptised in Stratford from 1786 onwards (Hugh Wallis's IGI site) one of whom is a Job TIDMARSH who is still alive and kicking in the 1841 census - presumably you have all this information, including census records, already. You say you are interested in the descendents of your Thomas & Mary. Can you let us know what info you have found, so that we don't waste time duplicating information you already have.

All the information I have on Thomas Tidmarsh b.c1748) is contained in my original message.

Yes, I have most of the information I need on my Tidmarsh descendants in Stratford, including Job Tidmarsh.

In the wording of my original posting I was intent on making a clear distinction between the descendants of the second marriage and those of the first marriage to Sarah Harvey; the latter do not directly concern me.

Because of second marriages in two successive generations in the Tidmarsh family, exact relationships are not always immediately clear.

Hi Geoff,
Are you sure that the Thomas who married Sarah Harvey is the same Thomas who married Mary Hoott? The reason I ask is that there is no suitable burial for a Sarah Tidmarsh in Inkberrow around 1780 but there is a burial of Sarah Tidmarsh in Inkberrow 26 August 1813 aged 74.
There is a Thomas & Elizabeth Tidmarsh who baptise 5 children viz Mary, 2x Thomas & 2 x Richard in Worcester St Helens between 1723 & 1733 (A Richard & Thomas are buried there as infants) The Thomas baptised 12 March 1730 at St Helens could be the one who married Sarah Harvey in Inkberrow. They named their children Samuel, Thomas, Elizabeth & Richard.
Thomas who married Mary Hoott in 1783 in Inkberrow does not appear to have children in Inkberrow, if he was the same man I would have expected him to have possibly remained there?

I could visit the church & churchyard if that would help, it isn't far.

Hello, Jeremy!

Thanks for this information. You have thrown a rather large stone into my small pool!

No, I had not considered the possibility of TWO Thomas Tidmarshes in Inkberrow at the same time, and unfortunately do not have access to PR information other than what is available via IGI, which, where death records are virtually absent, so unlike yourself I lacked the means to cross check all the relevant data.

With regard to the children of the Thomas Tidmarsh-Mary Hoott marriage, all those we have identified were baptised at Holy Trinity, Stratford upon Avon between 1786 and 1805.

Assuming there were no other male Tidmarshes in or near Inkberrow 1750-1800, then the Sarah Tidmarsh whose death is recorded in 1813 must be the wife of a Thomas (though her baptismal date is given in IGI as 1749).

I have posited a link for Thomas to the Worcester Thomas and Elizabeth whose children were baptised at St Helen's - but cannot begin to account for a second Thomas there at the moment.

I don't often get caught out, but it seems I may well have done this time around.

On the related problem of Mary Hoott, do you have any idea about her surname, as here again I can find no obvious connections?

Hi, Jocasta!

I'll keep this kind offer in mind.

Hi Geoff,
These are the only Tidmarsh burials in Inkberrow:-

Mary 4 Oct 1768
John 27 Apr 1777
Sarah 26 Aug 1813 age 74
Anne 27 May 1823 age 77

Sarah Harvey was born in 1749 assuming that Sarah who married Thomas Tidmarsh was the daughter of Henry & Eleanor baptised at Inkberrow in 1749. Are you sure this is the one he married?
