I am looking for an ancestor with an unusual name of Denham Tween (or Twinn). He died in Essex but believe he was born in Herts, possibly Ware about 1753.
Its a brick wall,. can anyone help??
The first name Denham has come down my family tree until 100 years ago but wonder how it started,.

Thank you very much for that info. He wasnt baptised in Ware then, hmmmm. That does make life difficult.

Thank you anyway.

There a quite a few Denham Tweens on Ancestry, one as late as 1996 in Luton, Bedfordshire.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

I didnt know about the 1996 one but in my direct line, there was one that was born in Essex in 1904.
But my oldest Denham was born around 1753 but I have searched through nearly every parish in Essex, and that takes some doing I can tell you!!
I cant find a baptism for him

I checked the BVRI discs, Julie, there's nothing there either.
