Morgan and Marguerite Bates Research​

Source: James Riley Jennings 1967

Since World War Two, Morgan and Marguerite Bates, searched the original Parish Records of St. Clement Daines England. From the Baptismal records are noted four sons of William and Mary Jennings. They were: 

  • Henry Jennings, Bap. Sept. 29, 1642. 

  • Robert Jennings, Bap. 30 Oct. 1642. 

  • John Jennings, Bap. 5 Oct. 1645. 

  • Isaac Jennings, Bap. 14 Aug. 1647. 

The records of births, deaths and marriages of numerous other Jennings are also of record but the relationship is not indicated. At the time of this search the church had been bombed out but the records had been rescued and moved to other quarters for safe keeping. 

The Bates search covers many other parishes with dates as late as 1825. The records of St. Nicholas Parish, Desford, London, collected at County Hall, West Minister, are of special interest because of the occupations among the Jennings. The time was in the late seventeen and early eighteen hundreds. There was a ship captains, Copper Plate maker, a Rigger, a Sawyer and many Sailmakers. 

Note: Morgan was the son of LaSalle Bates and Nellie May Jennings
