Find Ancestors

Hi ,I am having a problem finding Jemima Syer birth,date,& place of birth & also her, father & mother, the information on her , married David Jacobs on the31/10/1824 ST Andrews Church Aldreton Suffolk, 1241 census age 35, her death age 39 7/4/1844,I do have a list of all her Children,( her Son Thomas is my link ) have found other Syers in Alderton a John Syersborn 1776 Alderton, also a John Syers born 1802 4/11/1802 Alderton Baptised 5/12/1802 married Ann Todd 27/121829 , john died 2 rd qtr 1883 age 81 years old,

Have you noticed that on the same 1841 census page there is this family, a likely brother to Jemima

Wondering if this is the marriage for the above couple

Spouse:
Ann Todd

FHL Film Number:918514

------------------------------------------------------------

This may also be a sibling? It's a long shot but worth following through


England & Wales, Non-Conformist and Non-Parochial Registers, 1567-1970

Birth Date:28 Jan 1819

Birth Place:Suffolk, England

Gender:Female

Piece Title:
Piece 2504: Woodbridge Quay Meeting House (Independent), 1785-1837

-------------------------------------------------------------------


I have found the 'possible' father on the 1841 census living alone. This looks like his death.

Might be worth getting the certificate to check the informants name

Of course it could be a completely different family!

David Jacobs (1803 - 1888) his first wife - Jemima Syer (1781 -1844) and his second wife Mary Clow (1832 - 1908) between them David fathered 17 children all born at Alderton and I have found all their names and dates of birth - but part from Thomas my great grandfather (1828 - 1905) and Sarah (born 1830 and who married William Bugg and gave birth to 10 children, all born at Alderton)

I am hitting a brick wall trying to find descendants of my Jacobs ancestors - David Jacobs (1803 - 1888) his first wife - Jemima Syer (1781 -1844) and his second wife

so, according to the above, that birth I posted could well be right - 1781

I find it rather fishy that a man married a woman 20 years his senior in those times.

Is this the family in 1841?

David Jacobs 37 Woodbridge, Woodbridge & Wilford
Jamima Jacobs 35 Woodbridge, Woodbridge & Wilford
Hannah Jacobs 15 Woodbridge, Woodbridge & Wilford
Sarah Jacobs 10 Woodbridge, Woodbridge & Wilford
David Jacobs 4 Woodbridge, Woodbridge & Wilford
Abraham Jacobs 0 Woodbridge, Woodbridge & Wilford

Giving her a d.o.b. between 1802 and 1806
