CURWEN -- England

Legg inn av BarBara » 30 mai 2005 17:11:03

I'm trying again w/the Curwens.

The time period I'm interested in is roughly the 1500s to early 1600s.

I need ANY Curwens/Curwyns/Curwynns in Northants and Leics.

The *specific* places are Leicestershire between Walton and the Northants
border and Northamptonshire, mainly around Sibbertoft and Sulby but,
actually, anywhere else in either county would be welcome.

I have a John Curwen b c1417 in Leics, supposedly dsp, but there is no
proof. I need sibs for him -- if he had any.

I have a Thomas, a priest in Lowick, Northants, who died early in the 1500s,
but he is not immediately related to the Sibbertoft family, though he may be
further out.

I have a Thomas d 1557 in Sibbertoft but have no sibs or parents for him and
no clue as to where he came from -- or when he appeared there. His only son
was Henry d 1597, who reportedly left two sons John and Matthew -- but no
will. I do have the families of these two sons, so the murkiest area is
previous to them.

Please -- any advice or help will be gratefully appreciated.

Thank you,
BarBara

There are indexed abstracts of many of the Leics. Archdeaconry wills. They
strike me as quite a possible source for this problem, from what you said.
As far as I know, they are only available at the Leics. R.O., but someone
may correct me on that. Of course, indexes to both the Leics. and
Northants. wills have been published in the Index Library series, as have
those for P.C.C..

Curwen is very much a Cumberland name, so Leics. and Northants. are further
south than the usual territory. Various sources for printed pedigree
material are listed for Curwen in Marshall, but, presumably, these have been
consulted.

This set of abstracts (years 1563-1802) is available on 27 reels of

corporate author "Leicester District Probate Registry" rather than
"Archdeaconry of Leicester".

John,

Thank you for responding!

Pardon my ignorance, but are any of the above available online? If not, what
is the best way to access them?

Yes abt. the Cumb. name. I'm sure the Northants family hooks up to the
Curwen branch further north, but I haven't yet been able to find the correct
path.

Various sources for printed pedigree
material are listed for Curwen in Marshall, but, presumably, these
have been consulted.

I've consulted several volumes but am not familiar with Marshall. The title
is -- what?
Online? CD? Where might I find it?

Thank you. I appreciate your information very much!

Best, BarBara

The PCC wills are available online as a pay-per-view service from the UK
National Archives, with a free index:
http://www.documentsonline.nationalarch ... /wills.asp

These would be worth checking, as the PCC was the superior court, and was
used by many people of higher status.

I think this must be Marshall's "The Genealogist's Guide" (4th edition,
1903), which lists many pedigrees found in older printed sources.

Apparently it's available on CD from "Archive CD Books", though I can't find
it on their site:

Silly of me - first of all I was using Google to search in the domain
archivecdbooks.org, then when I realised their pages are actually at
rod-neep.co.uk, I was still assuming they would have held on to the
apostrophe in the title!
