This is the Lagden Family History from Census data in Essex.

Essex, Suffolk & Norfolk genealogy, census, marriages & other stuff. SUPPORT World Vision .
 

This is an effort to put the Lagden family on the map in genealogy circles. This is in the first instance quite a crude attempt at grabbing all the data that is available, listing it in a crude form of tables and lists, and then attempting to put all the pieces together like a big jigsaw.

Here is a brand NEW link to the Lagden in Saffron walden Saffron Walden Lagden - It probably needs a lot more work, but is a starter.

My own family, the Wildings are a little difficult to trace, then I found a lot of data from my grandmothers side, linking to the Littlechilds in Kelvedon Hatch and back to Doddinghurst. This is being documented very crudely too. In 1819, John Littlechild married a Sarah Lagden, and there we have it. Incidentally, the Lagdens and Littlechilds appear to have been farming alongside each other for some time, with obvious links at Overhall in Ashdon, plus many other places I am sure, and both families seem to spread around the county (in particular around Brentwood and Ongar) for a large part of their history.

There are lots of Lagden and Littlechild marriages to add, these will go in the Essex marriages database soon

Essex Marriage data for Essex - Searchable through a php link to a mysql database.

You may also like to check out the many Lagden that have arisen in the 1841 census, much of this has gone online and can be searched through this Search Engiine

Just to tidy things up - here are the Lagden / Totman  links  - Lagden & Totman Links

Have you checked out the SEAX info that is available - I have! Some is for viewing at : Lagden - SEAX

I am putting detail to the Wills and other detail in the SEAX document - like this data from the ERO today (13/9/2003)

Here is a Lagdens in Stebbing / Thaxted update

and here is a brand new story : We have this family in Stebbing 1841: the Lagdens in Stebbing / Thaxted & Other places

Plus, a really weak page on the Lagden - Totman links

Lagden & Totman Links - I have been getting quite excited all evening to do this page, but sadly there is not much info that I have. Time to update with some Boyds Marriages in my database (You know this web site is completely live, and Uncut).

News from the 1841 Census:

I already have all  / most Doddinghurst and Kelvedon Hatch covered - plus lots more too - see the Search Engine link, but these are new details found: Actually, I have lots more too, but write faster than I can type!

Stebbing 1841 (coming very soon)

We not only have a couple of Lagdon families but a confirmed Charlotte Lagden who married a Daniel Bambridge in 1827, they had children Sussannah and George (and maybe others). - Thanks to Glenys for this data.

4 - Emma LAGDEN b./ch. 07 Mar 1799 Little Abington
Note: Frances and Emma have consecutive records in the christenings transcripts; for Frances the record notes born 07 May 1799 for Emma it notes born 07 Mar 1799 - I've assumed they were both christened in the same day and some confusion arose as to the dates of birth - they are probably not twins.

------
That is not me saying I.
I have not yet recorded the christenings of the children of John Twinn LAGDEN (b) & Mary WRIGHT but I have them on microfilm.

Most of the above is partly conjectural, as anything that did not take place in Little Abington was not yet verified on records. However, since LAGDEN is a relatively uncommon name it appears that there is a good chance of the above being correct. I am trying to find ways to obtain copies of records from places in Essex named above. I would prefer to have my own copies of the records than to look at LDS microfilm. Also looking for ways to get marriage records from Saint Martin in the Fields [Westminster, (Middlesex), London] as I suspect Henry LAGDEN (h) and Elizabeth got married there but I have a date that doesn't fit.
 

Here is some stuff I got from a fee paying site - my stuff is better and cheaper - it's freee.
