0001 | PLUCK | William | The burial record logged is slightly speculative as no age is given. |
0002 | JORDAN | Sarah | The burial record logged is slightly speculative as no age is given. |
0005 | PLUCK | William | He married twice: Mary Negus in 1755 and Elizabeth Wootten in 1764, [see Tree 4]. |
0007 | PLUCK | John | Described as shoemaker in PR record of son John's baptism on 10 Dec 1765. There is an unusual delay between the calling of banns on 11th, 18th and 25th August 1776 and the marriage to Ann Church on 19th February 1777. There is no explanation given. Perhaps John was ill? He died a little under a year later and was buried on 5th February 1778. |
0010 | AUGER | Ann | Banns were read in Littlebury parish church on 13th, 20th and 27th June 1762. ERO fiche: D/P 9/1/3 fiche 1. 30 Jan 1999. They were married on the 28th. |
0011 | PLUCK | John | Parents: John (shoemaker) & Ann. Saffron Walden Charity apprenticeships: "John Pluck 'poor child' apprenticed to Stephen Pluck, cordwainer of Walden in 1779". "Poor child" is sometimes a synonym for "orphan", which helps to confirm the death of his father in 1778. Stephen was his uncle. |
0074 | PLUCK | John | My Littlebury fiche has what looks like the burial in 1766 of an infant son of Thomas Pluck and Ann Westley. The fiche image is very indistinct but the event seems to be between 22 May and 22 July. The NBI gives a date of 11 July 1766. |
0075 | PLUCK | Sarah [?'unnamed daughter of Thomas & Ann'] |
Note in Baptism Register: "curate in charge and parish clerk ommitted (sic) to keep memoranda for Vicar". |
0077 | PLUCK | Ruth | According to the registers the burial took place five days before the baptism. Obviously a clerical error. |
0172 | PLUCK | Sarah | A Sarah Pluck was buried on 21 July 1741 in Saffron Walden. No age is given in the register. |
0401 | CHURCH | Ann | The date recorded here for her burial is slightly speculative as the age is not recorded and she is not identified in any other way. It fits well, however. |
