St. Mary & St. Michael, Trumpington

SS Mary & Michael Church in Trumpington, Cambridgeshire, England. The “SS” stands for St. Mary and St. Michael. This church has records from 1599 and can be found in the Cambridge University Library. The village of Trumpington is directly on the road A10 going south to Royston, Herfordshire, to where the Elbourn family migrated. See Genealogy of Trumpington. Also see Trumpington Local History Group. Or see Genealogy in Hertfordshire. See Spelling of Elborn.

Trumpington

Trumpington is the city in Cambridgeshire, England, where members of the Elbourn family lived. It is also a farmhouse near Rock Hall on about 282 acres in Kent Co., 1^st District, according to the Assessment of 1783 Kent County – Maryland State Archives, see http://msa.maryland.gov/msa/stagser/s1400/s1437/html/1437ke.html. Reuben Elburn is listed on the same website in the 1^st District, p. 5, MSA S 1161-7-1 1/4/5/50. Perhaps look up in Maryland Archives. Also see

William Elborn was baptized in 1714 in Trumpington, Cambridgeshire, England.

James Elburn born 1 Jan 1740 in Trumpington, Cambridgeshire, England, son of William and Elizabeth; the Elborn family is also prominent in Cambridgeshire besides Hertfordshire, but both of these 2 following records show that James’ parents were John and Rebecah. One would assume John was born 1730-1750 and in Hertfordshire, but no record has been found. However, 2 records for a John Elbourn are found in Cambridgeshire, and one is in Trumpington, John Elborn, christened 25 Jul 1739, son of William and Elizabeth. I have noticed Elbons from 1714-1752 appear in Trumpington, Cambridgeshire just NE of Hertfordshire when I searched for Elbourn using the dates 1680-1780, and the names Henry, Anne, Elizabeth, John, Susan, William, and James appear. Then these families progressed SW to the northern towns in Hertfordshire, and continued progressing south through Hertfordshire and perhaps to London where some embarked for America. Nowadays one can understand why Hertfordshire is a desirable place to live as it is a short train ride into London. I plan to visit this area in September 2013 and will report on my findings thereafter. The best website for research in England that I have found is findmypast.co.uk.

Children of John Elborn and Rebekah, 2.1

3.1 Henrey Ellborn, christened 30 Jan 1762 in Sandridge (next to Saint Albans), Hertfordshire, England, son of John Ellborn and Rebeckah. He died in Saint Peter, Saint Albans, Hertfordshire, England, where his family had moved; his burial date was 15 Dec 1853, which would indicate he lived to age 91.

3.3* James Elborn, christened 9 Jul 1769 in Saint Stephens, Saint Albans, Hertfordshire, England, the son of John and Rebecah Elborn.

There are 4 adult James Elborns not far from St. Albans which could also be him.

James Elborn married Anne Gamm in 1784 in Cambridge Holy Sepulchre, Cambridgeshire.

James Elburn married Sarah Ward in 1793 in Marylebone, London.

James Elburn was buried in St. Marylebone on 23^rd January 1828 was 59, so he was born in 1769, and St. Marylebone is only 20 miles away from St. Albans.

James Elborne married Sarah Maria Finch on 21 Nov 1796 in St. Albanss St. Peter; His parish was St. Margaret Westminster in London. He was a bachelor at the time. It is quite evident that daughter Sarah Elborn was christened 27 Oct 1799 in St. Martin in The Fields in Middlesex, from Westminster Baptisms Transcripts as the daughter of James and Sarah, and named after her mother. Perhaps his wife Sarah had died, because in the same location of St. Martin in The Fields in Middlesex, James marries Hannah Mead in 1799 and has daughter Sophia Peat Elbon on 24 Feb 1801 at that same location.

James Elborn married Hannah Mead on 21 Apr 1799 in St. Martin In The Fields, Middlesex.

James Elburne married Hester Roddie at Amersham, Bucks in 1788.

James Elborn and wife Elizabeth at the All Saints Church in Cambridgeshire 26 Sep 1769 on The National Archives website of England. As James was only “born” in 1769, this must be another James.

http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=010-p28&cid=4-3-2#4-3-2

These are records of the Parish of St. Edward King and Martyr in Cambridge, England, and held by the Cambridge County Record Office in Cambridge.

The following record is difficult to understand; it shows James Elborn bapt. 26 Sep 1769 at the All Saints Church in Cambridge, England, as evidence shows from The National Archives at the KEW in London, England, with wife Elizabeth. A settlement certificate means exactly that…a listing of who was settled in an area. Evidently, each parish had its own rules, but it generally meant they had been in the area for at least a year. This Elborn family originally came from Cambridgeshire and moved to Hertfordshire, England. For details, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poor_Relief_Act_1662.

Settlement certificates can be very useful as they can tell you a person's origin - just because they are living somewhere it doesn't necessarily mean they were born there. Under the Old Poor Law system everyone had a right to legal settlement in the place they were born, and they were the responsibility of the parish if they were ill or in need. However, the problem came when they moved elsewhere as the parish/town they went to didn't want the cost.

I think this link will explain things far better than I can and it also tells you about removal orders and settlement examinations.

“A” James Elborn(e) married Sarah Maria Finch at St. Peter’s Church, St. Albans, on 21 Nov 1796, giving his place of abode as St. Margaret’s Westminster which is in London, and Sarah’s parish was St. Peter’s St. Albanss. It is quite evident that daughter Sarah Elborn was christened 27 Oct 1799 in St. Martin in The Fields in Middlesex, from Westminster Baptisms Transcripts as the daughter of James and Sarah, and named after her mother. Perhaps his wife Sarah had died, because in the same location of St. Martin in The Fields in Middlesex, James marries Hannah Mead in 1799 and has daughter Sophia Peat Elbon on 24 Feb 1801 at that same location. Then no more child births are listed (that doesn’t mean there weren’t any) in all of England for James at that time.

Also in England are James Elburne who m. Hester Roddie at Amersham, Bucks in 1788 and James Elburn who m. Sarah Ward at St. Marylebone, London in 1793.

3.4 Sarah Elborn, christened 20 Aug 1770 in Saint Peter, Saint Albans, Hertfordshire, England, the dau. of Wm? and Rebecca Elborn, the original clearly says Wm.

3.5 John Elborn was christened on 28 Mar 1773 in Saint Peter, Saint Albans, Hertfordshire, England, son of John Elborn and Rebecah. He may have been the John Elbon who married Ann Lovett of Northchurch on 30 Oct 1781 in Watford, Hertfordshire, England.

3.6 Unnamed Elborn, born in St. Albans, Hertfordshire, buried there on 9 Nov 1775 as the child of William, mother not named.

Richard Smythe, Susanna Smythe's father, settled on the Eastern Shore.   In November 1618, he patented 950 acres.  In the census of 1625, that were only fifty-one Europeans listed in the eastern Shore at the lower tip.  Richard Smythe's patent was a day's sail north of this settlment.   He was listed as a Jamestown resident in 1624 prior to becoming an Eastern Shore resident.  He was an attorney in Jamestown and believed to have some link to Sir Thomas Smythe of the Virginia Company.  Besides wife, Alyce and his daughters Susanna Smythe and Alice Smythe, there was a son Richard. He died in 1659 leaving 450 acres of land then called Captain Thomas Neck in Accomack County, Virginia to his daughter, Susanna.
