Seventh Generation
Richard Valentine, son of
128. Richard Volentine &
129. Elizabeth Dickens.
Born in Oct 1702 in Great Doddington, Northamptonshire, Kingdom of England. Richard died in Houghton Conquest, Bedfordshire, England, Great Britain, in May 1776; he was 73. Buried on 19 May 1776 in Houghton Conquest, Bedfordshire, England, Great Britain.33
There was no recorded birth of a Richard Valentine in the Bedfordshire parish records. All the published parish registers were searched on 3 January 2020 at the Bedfordshire Archives and Records Service in Bedford, Bedfordshire, England. Richard Valentine was likely born in a neighbouring county, probably at Great Doddington, Northamptonshire.
Richard Valentine and Elizabeth Brown had their first two children before they married followed by five more in wedlock. The birth record in the Anglican parish registers of Houghton Conquest for Joseph Valentine clearly states that Joseph was the 'natural son of Richard Valentine, married man, by Ann Holloway, single woman'. The birth and baptismal records of the other children that Richard Valentine had with Ann Holloway and later Phebe Richardson Yoxon do not state the marital status of the parents although refer to the children as natural born sons or in two cases as bastard sons. There does not appear to have been any children from the marriage of Richard Valentine and Ann Casburd; no births were recorded in either Ampthill or Houghton Conquest.
He did not marry Phebe Richardson.
Phebe Richardson, daughter of
130. Robert Richardson &
131. Sarah Claridge.

133. Mary Negus.

William Hall's birth appears to have been erroneously recorded as a death by the vicar in 1755. Given the evidence of no birth for William, it appears mostly like that the birth was recorded incorrectly. The marriage date in June 1755 of Thomas Hall and Elizabeth Drage support this being a birth of their first child rather than a death.
