Re(2): Jaques in Bubwith / Breighton IP: 92.27.10.136 Posted on 19/7/2009 at 10:12:58 PM by Philip Jacques
Hi Colin - So sorry i have not replied but have not been too well recently but hopefully on the mend now. Yes am looking for his parentage and i have the PR records for Bubwith and checked the entries but so few Jaques entries. I also know the Codicil he signed for Robert Hepton (Hedben?)but have not seen the contents. Something i have just found out that Robert Hepton's Mother was an Ann Walker who married in Seaton Ross 1725.Seems strange that James Jaques married another Ann Walker in Seaton Ross in 1770. James signed his marriage entry, quite neatly too - so i assume he was educated - which for a labourer would be quite something. This in turn got me thinking about Education at the time - i note that Bubwith records reveal the Burial in 1763 of James Spence "Shoolmaster of Bubwith" Do you know if any records exist of the School or pupils?
