John Strand (1704-1750)

John Strand was born in Suffolk in 1704. He was baptised on 13th April 1704 in Stoke-by-Nayland, Suffolk. His parents were John and Mary Strand (nee Jacobs). His siblings were Robert, Jacob and Samuel.

Marriage
John married a woman by the name of Mary, but where and when this occured is currently unknown. It is likely to have occured around the years of 1724-1726.

Mary's maiden name is also currently unknown. Knowledge of her first name has been determined from the baptism of their known child.

The couple settled in Stoke-by-Nayland and had one known children there. A William Strand was also baptised in Stoke-by-Nayland on 01/01/1728 who could potentially be a child of this family, but has been ruled out at this stage due to his baptism being only 5 months after the other. It is likely there were several couples by the name of John and Mary Strand in Stoke-by-Nayland at this time.

Death
John was buried in Stoke-by-Nayland on the 2nd Febrary 1750, aged approximately 46.

His wife Mary would outlive him by only one year, and was also buried in Stoke-by-Nayland.
