Hello Lyla, i've just seen your "Bedfordshire Interests" post. I notice that it is quite a while since you wrote it but i too, have Whitbread & Hutchins that i am researching in Beds. Poli.

Hi Poli



My interest is in Edward Whitbread born c1796 Eversholt. His second marriage was to the widow Sarah Poney nee Hutchins born c1799 Woburn. I have not managed to trace either of them any further back but would be very interested to hear about your Whitbreads and Hutchins. Perhaps we might be able to find a connection between our families.



Regards

Lyla

Hello again, The Hutchins name has only appeared in my research in the last couple of weeks and as yet i haven't got much [if anything] on them i'm afraid.

I have a Thomas Hutchins marrying my 3rd. cousin Harriet Copperwheat in 1890. They married in Wooton Beds. The father of Thomas was named James. No birth dates for either so far. Copperwheat is a direct line of mine.



Whitbread---my earliest is Samuel b 1796 married to Elizabeth Dormer. They married in Marston Beds. in 1816.Their children were--Lucy,Rachel,Sally,Hannah,Joseph,John,Samuel & George.



Hannah & Joseph married brother & sister John & Eliza Thompson [ Thompson is a a direct line of mine].



If any of this 'rings a bell' let me know. Regards Poli.

Hi Poli



I can't see a connection as yet but have made a note in case I ever do. It might be useful for you to join the Whitbread mailing list at rootsweb.

One of the members is doing a one name study and might be able to tell you a lot more.

I've got some details on the Thos. Bates who m. Mary Ashby in Toddington in 1836.

Hi skypescraper



Was Thomas the son of George and Hannah Bates? If so I am connected through his sister Elizabeth.

Hmmm. I haven't verified that yet... but I am descended from them if so.
