285th anniversary of the baptism of Elizabeth MARCHANT
Elizabeth was my 6th great-grandmother. Her parents were Richard MARCHANT and Mary EVETT.
She was the eldest of six children. Only one sibling survived to adulthood, her brother Jabez who was six years younger. Elizabeth was baptized 26 June 1726 in Bath, Somerset, England.
Elizabeth MARCHANT married Vickris DICKINSON 15 May 1746 in Comberwell, Wiltshire. This seems to refer to modern day Cumberwell, near Bradford on Avon in Wiltshire. This was Vickris' second marriage; his first wife Martha Reeve left him a widow with an infant son, Caleb Dickinson (1740-1820).
Their first child, Richard was born in 1747, but died as an infant and was buried May 8, 1747. Elizabeth's mother, Mary Marchant (nee EVETT) died less than two years later. The couple's second child and our ancestor Mary Dickinson was born in 1748 and lived until 1799. Mary married Henry CRESWICKE of Hanham Court, near Bristol. Other children are Elizabeth and Richard (both died in infancy), Francis (died at the age of twelve) and Charles, who married Catherine Allingham.
Elizabeth was buried January 21, 1790 in Bristol.

Yesterday was the anniversary of the baptism of Simon DICKINSON
Simon DICKINSON was baptized June 24, 1541 in Bradley, Staffordshire, England. He was my 10th great-grandfather. I have added him to our tree at ancestry.
Simon's parents were Richard DICKINSON (b.1521) and Elizabeth BAGNALL. Richard was a Magistrate who lived at Bradley Hall, in Staffordshire. The couple were married about 1540. Simon was named for his maternal grandfather, Simon BAGNALL
There is some contention about Simon's parents. Some believe them to be James DICKINSON and Elizabeth HASLELOCK.
Here is a fine line drawing and description of Bradley Hall.
Previously I had thought Bradley Hall to be in Bradley, Staffordshire. It seems that it was actually in Kingswinford. There is a local connection to the Gunpowder Plot of 1605.
Simon Dickinson married Katherine SUTTON on February 21, 1541 in Bradley Hall, Staffordshire. They had at least four children: Edward, Dudley, Eleanor & William.
Simon died in 1613 in Bradley Hall, Staffordshire.

Rubbing shoulders with Danish Royalty...
On my mother's side:
Rev. David Lindsay, my 11th great-grandfather, sailed to Norway with James VI of Scotland to fetch Anne of Denmark, daughter of Frederick II of Denmark & Sophie of Mecklenburg-Gustrow. He married them in Old Bishop's Palace in Oslo in Nov 1589. Anne was previously married by proxy to James VI, in August of that year at Kronborg Castle, known as the setting of Hamlet. Anne had tried to sail to Scotland, but was forced back to the shores of Norway, where she travelled overland to Oslo.
In 1589, the king of united Denmark-Norway was Christian IV, who reigned from 1588-1648. Christian IV succeeded his father at the age of 11, and was the longest reigning monarch of Denmark.
On my father's side,
Jacob Bording, my 13th great-grandfather, was the personal physician of Denmark and Norway's King Christian III. Jacob's daughter Johanna Bording married Lucas Bacmeister, my12th great-grandfather, who had tutored Johann & Magnus, the younger sons of Christian III in 1553 - 1556.
