    Unhappy Brick wall with Lucy Fayers or Fairs

    Hi hope you may be able to help me I have hit a brick wall with Lucy, I believe she was born in Suffolk abt 1813 she had a daughter Ann Rogers Fairs, born in 1835 she sadly died in 1853 and Charles Rogers Fairs 1838 on both children baptism records only the mother name is on the record. I am sure the children's father was William Rogers . I found this probate record.

    28th April The Will of William Rogers late of Ipswich, In the county of Suffolk, Mariner in merchant service who died on 16th April 1874 was proved at Ipswich by Charles Rogers Fairs of Ipswich a Mariner one of the Executors.

    William was born in Suffolk abt 1809 I have not found a marriage for William and Lucy . I can not find any information on Lucy Fayers or Fairs.
    If any one can help, I would really appreciate it.
    Kind regards Sue

    From the sources I have gathered for Suffolk (burials) and Western Suffolk (baptisms and marriage) while researching my own family, I have found these, which or may not be helpful:-

    Lucy Fairs, daughter of John and Ann, was baptised in Groton, Suffolk, on 17th May 1778.

    Lucy Fairs, illegitimate daughter of Lucy Fairs, was born on 14th February 1799 and baptised in Boxford on 3rd March 1799. Boxford and Groton were neighnouring parishes.

    Lucy Fairs married Thomas Crisp of Sudbury in Boxford on 7th August 1803.

    Lucy Fairs married John Steward in Willisham on 18th March 1813.

    Lucy Fayers, daughter of John and Mary Fayers, was baptised in Great Ashfield, Suffolk, on 27th June 1819.

    Lucy Faires was buried in Ipswich on 1st November 1838, aged 26.

    Lucy Fairs was buried in Coddenham on 7th January 1866 aged 59.

    Lucy Fayers was buried in Cockfield on 7th February 1889 aged 91.

    The surname seems to have been common in some parts of Suffolk, with at least five different spellings: I have seen Fairs, Fayers, Faires, Faiers and Fayres.

    In case you do not have this info,

    I believe she was born in Suffolk abt 1813
    Where di you get this from? Maybe you need to look for the death cert to see what is entered!


    1839 Marriage Ipswich William Rogers to Sarah HURN ( phonetically fits in with the other household member Thomas HEARN) Volume: 12 Page: 488

    Getting this cert would confirm William's status Bach / Wid

    Sarah Rogers 30

    on both children baptism records only the mother name is on the record
    Have you looked at the Parish Register entry or the BT or transcription on line? The original source should always be consulted....
