HEMBROW FAMILY No. 2

Ancestor of Andy Connellan, 

information on this page was compiled from Parish Registers and census returns.

RICHARD HEMBROW 

Richard married Sarah Daw, on 13th August 1784. They had possibly 11 children. 10 I have baptisms for, John is not recorded, my hope is that he was missed out of the registers. Thomas baptised 20th February 1785. Ann and Joannah both baptised 30th May 1788. Rachel baptised 3rd February 1793 aged 9 months. Elizabeth baptised aged 11 years 2 months on 28th September 1806. Sarah was baptised 14th April 1816. Then Richard aged 16 and 3/4, Susanna aged 13 and 1/2, Charlotte aged 10 and 3/4, Charles aged 7 years 1 month, were baptised together on 10th June 1817. It is possible that Charles is John, as the dates match up.
