Kimber from Burbage, Wilshire.

[Ali from NZ]

Hello,
I'm trying to track down my Kimber family from East Grafton / Burbage area.

I have good info up to ...
(1st Generation)
James Kimber
- Born: c. 1786, Burbage, Wiltshire
- Married: (1st) Elizabeth Haywood
7 Nov. 1808, Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire
(2nd) Hannah Jones
16 Aprl 1836, East Grafton, Wiltshire
- Died: 1854, Wiltshire, England

(2nd Generation)
James Kimber's parents
James Kimber and Rachel Dixon- they were married on the 25 Sept. 1786, Burbage,Wiltshire
This James was also married twice - 2nd marriage to Sarah Hillard on the 30 Sept. 1792, Burbage, Wilsthire.

(3rd Generation)
James Kimber's parents
This is were it gets interesting - the above James Kimber's mother is Frances Kimber and she married Thomas Bartholomew on the 2 Nov. 1760 at Burbage, Wilshire, meanwhile her son James Kimber was Bapt. on the 8 October 1760, a couple of weeks before his mothers wedding.
I’m not sure why James took his mother’s maiden name of Kimber and not his father’s name of Bartholomew – unless Thomas is not James’s natural father and Thomas married Frances and raised James as a step-son. Going by James’s christening date (Oct. 1760), he was at lest a couple of months old when Frances and Thomas married in Nov 1760.

(4th Generation)
Frances Kimber's parents are
James Kimber and Frances _____ they were married c. 1729, Burbage, Wiltshire
- James was born c. 1706, Burbage, Wiltshire.

So I'm hoping that someone might be able to search the Burbage Parish Records for me and fill in some gaps of births, deaths, siblings etc.

Thank you

You can do it yourself here:

Besides parish register transcripts there's much more there: for example, an index to people named in wills (there are some Kimbers there, I see).

Hi,

I’ve not used this site before but randomly found this ( not sure I’m replying properly) Go on a site called family search there is a ready made family tree! Search James Duck kimber ☺️
