John fenn Senior was born in 1801 in Coggesshell essex. He married a lady called Sarah, and the Essex records office hold the following information about them. I found the baptism of John Fenn on 17 March 1822 - he was born on 17 November 1821 (a helpful Rector recorded his birth at baptism). His parents were a John and Sarah Fenn. The church was just recorded as Gt. Coggeshall. I imagine it was St. Nicholas.
I also found a sibling for John - Rebecca baptised 13 May 1826 (born 12 April 1826). I was a little short on time (as usual!) and a further visit could probably unearth some more siblings. I did quickly look at the marriages around the 1820s but couldn't see John and Sarahs. However, Sarah could have been from another parish and married there.
I did find a marriage for a Edward Fenn (? John senior's brother) to a Charlotte Bridge on 8th January 1822 at Coggeshall.
Thurther census shows that by 1841, John fenn junior born 1821 had moved away from the family home, and that john and sarah (senior) had 9 more children. The info below shows the 9 children listed on the 1841 census for John fenn and his wife Sarah.
