Am I looking at the wrong family in 1851 as it says born Greenfield, Oxfordshire ?

hi
i was not sure she was born in berkshire they are close togeather you may be right i think william was born in oxfordshire

there is this baptism

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:J3XR-FXZ

Name: Hannah Seymour
Gender: Female
Christening Date: 01 Jul 1798
Christening Place: WATLINGTON,OXFORD,ENGLAND
Father's Name: Benjamin Seymour
Mother's Name: Hannah
Indexing Project (Batch) Number: C03913-1

Greenfield and Watlington are about 2 miles apart, and Watlington might well be where baptisms were performed

how to prove any possibility you find will be the problem, but that baptism seems quite likely

This may be the Hannah above. In which case its not your Hannah Cobb

Says NONE born in county ( Buckinghamshire )

another spreader-outer of records :-)

Mike suggests, if I may make it more readable without using up my entire monitor for one record, that

Name: Hannah Seymour
Estimated birth year:abt 1796
Registration Year:1869
Registration Quarter:Jan-Feb-Mar
Age at Death:73
Registration district:Wycombe
Inferred County:Buckinghamshire
Volume:3a
Page:320

may be the Hannah whose baptism I posted

I don't think there's really any reason to think that ... that would mean she died unmarried in her 70s which was rather unusual.

There are also Hannah Seymour deaths in Wycombe district in 1854 and 1863 before ages were shown ... not a unique name.

I can't find a Hannah Seymour to fit that death record in 1861, to check

still searching for a marriage for Benjamin seymour

malyon, someone must have deleted at least one post right at the beginning of your thread.

Your first post doesn't give anything anyone could use for searching -- what is the relationship between Benjamin and Hannah Seymour, where were they, when were they, what info do you have ... ?

From what I can tell, Benjamin Seymour married Hannah and you don't know her surname.

They had a daughter Hannah Seymour circa 1801 (from the census info).

Daughter Hannah Seymour married William Copps (Cobb?).

So now you have a possible birth for Benjamin Seymour 1775

and you are looking for the name and birth details of his wife Hannah (their marriage would give her name)

is that it?

Just to make one of your last posts comprehensible:

thank you for all that
hannah (Seymour Cobb - daughter of Benjamin Seymour & Hannah) died in barnet middlesex
also william
their daughter hannah married william copps then lived in southwark surrey
their daughter annie was my grandads mother
that is them in 1841 census
that must be her birth parents benjamin and hannah
would like to find if they had other children
thanks again for your help


1861 for info

Name: Hannah Cobb
(you should add her birth surname at Ancestry in each census year)
Age: 64
Estimated birth year: 1797
Relation: Wife
Spouse's Name: William Cobbs
(you should correct his name at Ancestry; it says Cobb on the image)
Gender: Female
Where born: NK
Civil Parish: Finchley


the baptism I posted back when still seems likely to be Hannah Seymour Cobb

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:J3XR-FXZ

Name: Hannah Seymour
Gender: Female
Christening Date: 01 Jul 1798
Christening Place: WATLINGTON,OXFORD,ENGLAND
Father's Name: Benjamin Seymour
Mother's Name: Hannah
Indexing Project (Batch) Number: C03913-1


Is that what gave you her parents' names as Benjamin and Hannah in the first place, or is there some other info?

What do you suppose the likelihood is that Benjamin Seymour born c1790 in Pyrton, Oxfordshire, was a brother of your Hannah Seymour Cobb?

Pyrton is on the outskirts of Watlington

in censuses 1841-51-61-71 in Pyrton

Name: Benjamin Seymour
Spouse: Ann Seymour
Birth: abt 1790 - Pyrton, Oxfordshire, England
Residence: Pyrton, Oxfordshire

If Benjamin Seymour & Hannah had a daughter Hannah, it's quite likely they had a son Benjamin, I would say.

Pyrton (Pirton) seems a very small place, but there are quite a few Seymours in censuses who were living/born there.


for info also, Benjamin Seymour 1775 had siblings:

Henry Seymour
christening: 18 January 1761
EAST HENDRED, BERKSHIRE, ENGLAND
father: Richd. Seymour
mother: Eleanor

Elizabeth Seymour
christening: 31 July 1763
EAST HENDRED, BERKSHIRE, ENGLAND
father: Richd. Seymour
mother: Eleanour

Eleanour Seymour
christening: 29 March 1772
EAST HENDRED, BERKSHIRE, ENGLAND
father: Richd. Seymour
mother: Eleanour



A Benjamin Seymour died in Henley reg dist in 1840, but he was aged 13 (the new GRO index is a boon for age info).

thank you for helping I did find the Benjamin which could be brother of Hannah I could not find the marriage of Benjamin and Hannah or Hannah's birth name
