• Notes

  RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. In studying the records of Stockbury, no marriage or burial record is found for either James or Elizabeth (Clinch) Fuller; however, there is a baptism for James Fuller, 11 Mar 1754, son of James and Elizabeth Fuller, which could be this family. No other baptismal entries found for this couple nor for the father James Fuller as a infant. MARRIAGE: 1. Ancestry.com's "London, England, Clandestine Marriage and Baptism Registers, 1667-1754": James Fuller and Elizabeth Clinch of Thornham, Kent, marr. 12 Nov 1753 London, England. Place description: May Fair Register. Officiating Minister: Keith (1753 Nov - 1754 Mar). Source: Registers of Clandestine Marriages and of Baptisms in the Fleet Prison, King's Bench Prison, the Mint and the May Fair Chapel. Records of the General Register Office, Government Social Survey Department, and Office of Population Censuses and Surveys, Registrar General (RG) series 7. The National Archives, Kew, England. Note: Thornham [sometimes spelled Thurnham], is a parish next to Stockbury, Kent, England This record is intriguing. I did a wide geographical and broad time search on all Elizabeth Clinches born circa 1732 and it is apparent that Clinch is a very Kentish name with a smattering in Cornwall/Devon. I did however find this Elizabeth Clinch born at Westminister in 1731 added by extraction who would be a likely candidate: Elizabeth Clinch (M9KY-8YM) bapt.19 Mar 1731 at Saint Martin In The Fields, Westminster, London, England. On the other hand the marriage record does state she is from Thornham, Kent. Only one Thornham in England in Norfolk, so the corrected Thurnham seems spot on to be in Kent. The baptism for James Fuller, 11 Mar 1754, son of James and Elizabeth Fuller is found in Stockbury, so the 1753 timing looks appropriate for the marriage. They must have moved shortly thereafter from Stockbury since it was the only child born of this couple in this parish. We know Elizabeth was dead by 1769 from her father's will, which does mention James Fuller. The will clinches this (no pun intended) -- I feel this is our Elizabeth, dau. of William Clinch and Ann Knight. I wonder what was the background story of the record source: "Registers of Clandestine Marriages and of Baptisms in the Fleet Prison, King's Bench Prison..." I feel this is our Elizabeth, dau. of William Clinch and Ann Knight. BURIAL: 1. No record found in Stockbury Church records.
