Family History, Dackombe Chart 1000 John Dackombe and Mary (Margaret?) Davies

The following relates to the information we have about Aquila’s involvement with the Worshipful Company of Pewterers. – 20th March 1734 Thomas Wheeler present Aquila Dackombe son of John Dackombe of Wrexham in the County of Denbigh gentl. 17th June 1742 Aquila Dackomb bound apprentice of Thomas Wheeler turned over to John Carpenter. 28th November 1746 Mr Aquila Dacomb attended, accepted the cloathing and was cloathed accordingly £20. Aquila Dacombe and his wife Jane and their children are named in the Will of his Uncle, Robert Dackombe. It actually leaves a lot of money to the children of Aquilla which I suspect was because he had debts and this was to help the surviving children. The Will of Robert is to be found in the Will section of this Web Site. Using the Web I also found the Item printed as part of this footnote which definitely relates to this Aquilla. I do not know the meaning of it as yet. However as Great Carter lane is mentioned in the Will of Robert and it appears here to an Aquila Dackombe it must be the same person. Dackombe (Male) Address(es): Great Carter Lane Date: 1772 Subscribed to England’s Bloody Tribunal: or, Popish Cruelty Displayed. Containing a compleat Account of the Lives, Religious Principles, Cruel Persecutions, Sufferings, Tortures, and Triumphant Deaths, Of the Most Pious English Protestant Martyrs, Who have sealed the Faith of our Holy Religion with their Blood.

London Subject: history, religion Geoffrey MANN sent the additional information regarding Aquila DACKOMBE and his apprenticeship in July 2003 Aquila DACKOMBE son of John DACKOMBE late of Wrexham in the County of Denby, Gent, Deceased, apprenticed to Thomas WHEELER, Citizen and pewterer of London for 7 years in the sum of £31 10/- [on reverse] 22 June 1738, the within named Aquila DACKOMBE was turned over to John CARPENNER Citizen and pewterer at a Court of Assise --- [attached] Memorandum that of Saturday 28 July 11th year of George II it was considered by a court before the Mayor and Aldreman of the City of London in the Guildhall that the apprentice named be wholly discharged from the William HOUGHTON and Isaac HANCKELL executors of the Thomas WHEELER deceased and be turned over to some other Freeman. Public Record Office Information - The Fleet Marriage Registers of clandestine marriages that took place in London covering the period 1667-1777. There are some 400,000 entries in the registers (including some baptisms) performed at the Fleet prison, Mayfair chapel and the Kings bench prison amongst others. Geoffrey MANN contacted me by email on 11th June 2003 with the information for this marriage. He writes on his email; this is the Aquilla who was in such money trouble so perhaps the Fleet Prison was a cheap wedding option. A clandestine marriage was a marriage conducted by a clergyman without requirement of banns or license. These marriages were normally performed outside the home parishes of the bride and groom and often took place in prison chapels. The most notorious of them all was in the chapel at the Fleet prison in London.

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.
