DOCUMENTATION

IGI also has 4 possible chr entries for Hull for the time period 1748-1753

BURIAL: most probable burial date is 27 Feb 1814 age 54 Holy Trinity. Note that there were several John Meggitts in Hull at the time so it's hard to document that this is our John Meggitt.

CHRISTENING: Holy Trinity, Hull Parish Reg Bishops Trans; FHL film 990828.

MARRIAGE: St. Mary, Sculcoates Parish Register Bishops Trans; FHL film 919438

BURIAL: Holy Trinity, Hull Parish Reg Bishops Trans; FHL film 990830. Abode: Hull. Age at time of burial: 68. This date agrees with date given in Manti temple records for the death of Elizabeth Meggitt.

CHRISTENING: Holy Trinity Parish Reg Bishops Trans; FHL film 990828: son of Betty Metcalfe

PARENTS: Family records (fam rec source is Manti Temple records) gave father's name as "Mr. Metcalf," mother's name Elizabeth MEGGITT with her death date 20 Jan 1830. However, her burial record (date 20 Jan 1830) gives her name as Elizabeth MEGGITT. MEGGITT was supposed to be her birth name, METCALF her married name and she would have been buried under her married name. Was Meggitt her birth name as family records stated, or her married name? Next found the marriage some 30 yrs earlier of John Meggitt & Elizabeth Metcalfe, followed by the birth of 3 children. 14 years prior to this marriage is the chr of Thomas, son of Betty Metcalfe. Finally found the 1766 chr of Elizabeth Metcalf, father Thomas Metcalf. Searched for a will left by John Meggitt or someone to provide the proof that Thomas Metcalf was the illegitimate son of this Elizabeth Metcalf who later married John Meggitt. None found. Did find that when J.E. Metcalf Jr did LDS temple work for his ancestors in 1888 he did a baptism for John Meggett born 1810, died 1827. This John Meggitt is known to be the son of John Meggitt & Elizabeth Metcalf, thus proving that the Elizabeth Metcalf who married John Meggitt is Thomas' mother (why else would we be doing her son John's temple work?). Birth father unknown, Bastardy Bonds search negative.
