ARC TBC - Richard Chatwin & Esther-1st generation
Posted: Sun Jan 09, 2011 8:59 am
I have spent the day tracing the Chatwins that married into my Cutler line....
Talks about confusion with Cutlers/Hadleys/Chatwins all inter marrying and living in the same street!
Its a wonder they all didn't all end up with buck teeth playing banjos!
Before I start adding the second generation I have some puzzles on the first generation.
The parents of Joseph and his siblings are Richard Chatwin and Esther Bashford.

A Harriet Bashford is a witness at their son Joseph's wedding so there is probably a family connection there.
I have estimated Richard's year of birth from the burial records.
Esther appears on many census and 1793/1794 matches those and her death.
What I need is confirmation of their wedding date.
Most people have 28th March 1814 in Birmingham.
Since their first child was born and died in 1813 I find that suspect.
I can find no record of their marriage.
Esther's birth date is generally given as 2nd August 1794 in Egdbaston but once again I can find no record.
