Note on Husband: Baker SPEARPOINT - shared note
[spearpoint.FTW]
1. Baker and Elizabeth appear to be the first Spearpoints to have left the C-of-E and defected to the Zion Baptist chapel. Maybe this has something to do with the spelling of his name changing to 'Spearpoynt'. Note also that all the IGI entries for their children are shown as 'birth' rather than 'christening'. I have chosen to ignore this and enter the precise dates under 'christening'.
Note on Wife: Elizabeth HAWKES - shared note
1. The IGI entry for her marriage to Baker gives her surname as Hawkes, whereas the christening records of ALL her children use the name Halkes. I don't really think this is a problem, since the christening records aren't in the conventional C-of-E format. The minister at the Zion chapel has reserved a complete page for the whole family so the alternative spelling is only a single occurence rather than a consistent one over many years. Her step mother's will also helps link things together quite adequately.
2. There is a record of the birth of an Elizabeth Hawkes, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth in Covent Garden in 1754. This is in the on-line IGI and is listed in Jenny Johnson's site. Unfortunately, I don't think it is quite good enough. The IGI shows that there were 5 siblings born in Covent Garden to Thomas & Elizabeth Hawkes over the period 1746 - 1754. But there are also two siblings, Mary and Thomas, born to a Thomas & Elizabeth Hawkes in Folkestone in 1754 and 1755. Since the dates overlap they can't really both be the same family. The Mary Hawkes born in Folkestone is a far better age to be subsequently marrying Thomas Gittens in 1774, so I have to prefer the Folkestone family and ignore the Covent Garden records.
3. The problem, of course, is that the Folkestone family don't have a daughter named Elizabeth !!! But note that there is no marriage record for this Thomas and Elizabeth in Folkestone either. So if they were married elsewhere, then quite possibly their first child was born in the same place. Hopefully it will turn up one day.
