Hi, just trying to find if the following two people had any children..

Robert Nunn born 1811, re-married in 1842 to a ANN WEBB born 1823..
In Chevington..

I think his first wife Hannah Stigwood died early in life....Not quite certain of the above dates............ Many thanks..
John

John - what was his occupation? - there are several possible matches.

Where is Chevington? Was he born there or married there?

Hi MarieCelestes - Chevington in Suffolk and born in Chevington, sadly I don't know his profession - I believe he died in Chevington in 1886..

I can't see a Robert Nunn with an Ann in Chevington and the couple appear to have married in the Newmarket Reg District rather that Thingoe that covers Chevington

Marriages Mar 1842 (>99%)

NUNN Robert Newmarket 14 141
WEBB Ann Newmarket 14 141

Are you sure its your man that married Ann in 1843 cos the age of the one that died in 1886 is with the same lady in 1881 that K posted the 1851 for & in the right area

Hi All,
K looks as though she's got the right Ann Webb, I had it as 1842, but you could be quite right with 1843, and the area could be Newmarket, I certainly can't see any 'Mahalah' in the family...
I have Robert Nunn born 1811 = married Hannah Stigwood in 1834, then apparently she died in 1835 = they had one child called James in 1835... As the death of Hannah was 1835 and James born in 1835, I can only assume she died in childbirth [not sure].. then in 1842 he married a Ann Webb...
I'm fairly certain that Hannah Stigwood died...
Many thanks JULIE - K - SHIRLEY and MARIECELESTTE..
Hope I'm not confusing everyone.....

Sorry - I can't see a family on the census that would match the detials you have given or a James Nunn born 1835 with father Robert Nunn. in Chevington.

However I have found a tree on Ancestry that lists a Robert Nunn b 1811 in Wood Ditton, Cambridgeshire with wife Hannah Stigwood who is listed as dying in Chevely in Cambridgeshire in 1837. They are listed as having James b 1835 Wood Ditton in Cambridgeshire.

A marriage of Robery Nunn to Ann Webb is listed in Newmarket in 1842 and Robert is listed as dying in 1848 in Newmarket. The couple are listed as having 3 children Arthur 1842 Newmarket, Alfred 1845 and Walter 1847.

This looks like the family in 1861 after Ann remarried

K - Many thanks for all that hard work - Tremenous.. Don't know how to thank you, except.. "THANK YOU"...............
John

Sorry Julie - I hope the above is the family John was after, who originated from Cambridgeshire. and the place names of Chevington and Chevely are being confused

Hope you feel better soon

Kayx

Thanks John - I was afraid it didn't make much sense.
