I have been trying to trace a branch of our family tree and have come up against a sticking point. Jane Hudson born c.1824 d.1865 Buried Earl Stoham Church Suffolk
The Jane Hudson we are missing information on was the first wife of Edmund Baker of Gipping, Suffolk. They married 7 August 1855 at the parish church of Benefield, Oundle District of Northhamptonshire.
The information we believe to be correct from later Gipping Cencus gives her date of birth around 1824. Her Place of Birth is confused, on the marriage Certificate it is Livedon (a Lyvedon is near Upper and Lower Benefield?) but listed as Benefield on the later Gipping Cencus. (However Edmund is also spelt incorrectly on the marriage certificate as Edmond.)
We believe her father was John Hudson of Benefield
and her mother Elizabeth Hudson born c1785 (from Gipping 1861 cencus)
An IGI search comes up with a christening of a Jane Hudson on 27th June 1824 at Benefield, Northhampton. But no maiden name of her mother.
John Luke Hudson and Edna Hudson acted as Witneses of the Marriage. There are also IGI christening returns for these two names along with another Elizabeth Hudson with the same parents and parish.
We believe Lyvedon is/was a hamlet of Benefield west of Oundle, but have as yet found no positive match as yet for Jane Hudson on a search of Northhamptonshire 1851 Cencus.
We have no idea how they met however there do appear to be a large number of Bakers in the area but it is a relatively common name.
We are also unsure why they required a marriage by Licence if she came from that parish.
Any informatin would be appreciated if you can help.
with thanks
