Research Note

Cleared database error 602. Birth location formerly marked as Yorkshire/London. Checked Yorkshire and marked uncertain. Leaving note as unsourced.

There are three children born at Ely after the marriage there on 14 February 1710/1711: Elizabeth 1712, Isaac 1714, and Thomas 1715, all of Thomas and Elizabeth Morden, all baptised at the same church as the marriage.^[2] Have attached Elizabeth and Isaac to their mother, but not Thomas as he would clash with George. George appears to have been born in Haddenham from the church record above, with mother Sarah. There are children of Thomas and Sarah Morden at Haddenham 1712, 1714, and onwards, so this looks like a separate couple from the Ely one. The Haddenham children are on FreeReg.^[3] I could not find any sources for Yorkshire.
