Avis Creek (MMFFFFM)

This information was given to me many years ago, I think I found the marriage and baptism of Sarah in familysearch, but I cannot find it now.

There is quite a lot of info on the Creek family in Trumpington in Find My Past's parish record collection.

They have a transcription for the baptism of Avis Creek on 7 April 1746, daughter of Thomas and Anne.

Thomas and Ann Creek have a son, John, baptised on 21 February 1741. There's a burial for John Creek, son of Thomas and Anne, 18 December 1750.

Henry Creek, son of Thomas and Anne, was buried in October 1748.

Ann, wife of Thomas, was buried on 18 June 1752.

I wonder if Thomas married again. FMP have two marriages for two different Thomas Creeks in 1752:

- Thomas Creek (sen), married Sarah Flack, 18 September 1852
- Thomas Creek (jun), married Sarah Norfield, 30 August 1752.

These marriages may be of interest as well:

- Thomas Creek married Elizabeth Baker, 2 July 1739
- Thomas Creek married Ann Plain, 27 September 1741

There are a number of baptisms in Trumpington to Thomas Creek and wife Sarah. There are no clues as to whether the parents are Thomas (sen) and Sarah Flack or Thomas (jun) and Sarah Norfield!

Susanna, 9 Feb 1755
Elizabeth, 17 April 1755 (buried 19 June 1755)
Henry, 22 Aug 1762
John, 8 April 1759
Mary, 4 May 1760

There is a burial for Thomas Creek, son of Thomas and Sarah Creek, 8 December 1753.

Three burials for adult (I think) Thomas Creeks in Trumpington - 1757, 1760 and 1764.

Sarah Creek, widow, buried on 9 September 1764.

Thanks Shona

I have some FMP credits, but hardly ever look there. There is nothing on familysearch or freeREG at all. The Creeks were an extensive family in Cambridgeshire.

Avis' son John Creek lived in Little Thetford and had many children, as did his children, so there are many Johns, Edwards, Richards, Williams, but no Thomas's interestingly.
The name Avis Creek was used for many generations in our Creek family.

Will look at FMP !!

I think I have Avis' mother incorrect and it should be Ann(e).
