BARHAM'S OF BRIGHTLINGSEA - Brightlingsea
Barham's Looking for any descendant's of Barham's who lived in Brightlingsea, Essex in the early to middle 1800's. I HAVE ANCESTORS THAT DESCEND FROM BRIGHTLINGSEA IN THE 1800's William Barham b. abt 1836 married to Elmira (dont know date as yet) Children Olderthen Barham (my G.G. Grandfather) (other spellings of this name due to transcription error are Oldthan, Oldtan, Olderthan, Phlerthan) B. abt 1842 to 45) Brightlingsea, Essex. M. 24th April 1865 (to Sarah Elizabeth Brook)in the Reg district of West Ham, Essex. She was born abt 1845 in Margate, Kent.) D. ? ? ? ? (still trying to find death entry) Marriage witnessed by William Barham (father of groom) Elmira Barham (mother of groom) (father of bride Francis John Brook) Children: (1891 census) Olderthen born abt 1866, Plaistow, Essex Mary Jane born 22nd Sept 1867, 8, Brunell St, Plaistow, Essex (this sibling is my great grandmother on my maternal side, she married an Edward Middleton, my great grandfather, awaiting marr. cert) Frederick Thomas, B. abt 1869, Canning Town, Essex, D. 1903, West Ham, Essex Albert Edward, B. abt 1872, Canning Town, Essex Minnie Elizabeth, B. abt 1879, Canning Town, Essex Mabel A., B. abt. 1881, Canning Town, Essex Oscar Charles, B. abt 1883, West Ham I am in the middle of trying to find Olderthen Barham Snr's parents, Which are listed on his marriage certificate as William and Elmira. I have found Elmira's death entry in the June quarter of 1919, aged 83 in west Ham, Essex. Im trying to find a death entry for William, but William Barham in Brightlingsea seems to be a common name. I have traced through 1901, 1891, 1881, 1871, 1861, 1851, and 1841 for the family and its proving to be a large family. So lots of research. On Olderthen's Marriage certificate, Olderthen and his father William are recorded as fishermen, and the father of Sarah E. Brooks (Olderthen's bride) is recorded as a pilot. I managed to find William Barham on the 1861 census, he was 25 at this time and he is recorded as an 'A B Seaman' on the census sheet for a ship/vessel called 'Amity'. I have tried checking online for crew lists and stuff for the ship/vessel above and come up with nothing :(. The master of the ship/vessel is named Isaac Orman. The Barham's have my interest in a big way at the moment so im continuing to explore their tree and i'm interested to find out all i can.
