Rebekka Chamberlain married George Vincent in Melcombe Horsey, Dorset on 13 February 1837. Their son James was born there in 1814. George died there in 1838.
I can't find any Chamberlain births or deaths from 1690 onwards in Melcombe Horsey so it is possible that Rebecca came from elsewhere.
I would welcome any message that might enable to illuminate this obscure branch of my family tree. Rebecca is my g-g-g-grandmother.
Greetings to all fellow addicts.

Marriage you do mean 1813 as thread says not 1837?

Did she marry again
William Foot Cross
Name: Rebecca Vincent
Year of Registration: 1841
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
District: Dorchester
County: Dorset
Volume: 8
Page: 75

Ooops, ,sorry. James (son) married there in 1837.

As with many families, the Vincents scattered after 1840. There were many just down the road in Dewlish and they emigrated to Wangaratta. My gggrandfather ended up in Sunderland and then Stockton. another lot came from t'other side of village in Folke. George could belong to either (or both!). There are almost no Chamberlains around so she is likely to be an outsider.
Rebecca could be the same or a daughter. I'll dig into the census for '41 and '51.
Thanks for your help.

Just to confuse matters, it is highly likely that George married ...

Rebecca/Rebekkah Chamberlain/Chamberlayne who was born in Stinsford (outside Dorchester) although I can't prove it. Their son James sometimes lists his birthplace as "Lwr Bockhampton" which is a hamlet within Stinsford parish.

I await delivery of a death certificate for Rebecca Vincent who died in Dorchster in 1854. If it is "my gggggrandmother" then she didn't marry William Cross.

Have you seen this site

Could be but I have no way of knowing unless the death cert confirms that "my" Rebecca had already been "promoted to glory". I am fairly confident that she was born in Stinsford/Bockhampton so more unlikely to be the same.

Yes, the OPC site is simply the bee's knees!

Many thanks for your clue.

Malcolm

Please post death info when you have it then. The search will continue if it is'nt her who has been "promoted to glory". Good Salvation Army words for the dead

Hello,

Thank you all for your information. I have the death cert for the Rebecca in 1857 and it isn't mine. This Rebecca died in Piddlehinton and was the widow of William Vincent, Ag Lab. She was 85 thus birth 1772-ish. Death reported by daughter Martha (onfusing since my Rebecca had a daughter Martha (MY GGGGrandma) but my Martha was in Sunderland by then.

Yes, my Rebecca is almost certainly one of the Stinsford Chamberlains (Chamberlaynes) but I cannot prove it ... yet. I guess it will await a trip to Dorchester and the archive.

James (1838) is the oldest of his generation. My gggrandfather William (b1857) was his baby brother. Shortly after his birth, his parents moved to Clifton before heading north to Sunderland.

Onwards and .... sideways?
