Francis was baptised in 1757 at Gt.Leighs, the youngest child of
John & Ann SPEAKMAN. The SPEAKMAN
yeoman farming family however was based in nearby Terling, and Francis was
living there when he married Ann Martha SIMONS at Writtle in 1778. Their only child, Ann Martha, was baptised at Terling in 1779
and in 1781 he signed the perambulation of the Terling parish. Some time later however Francis and Ann moved to the
neighbouring parish of Gt Leighs.
Francis’ wife was buried there in 1808 and in 1811 Francis was
described as a farmer of Gt Leighs in the will of his sister-in-law, Ann
HART. Frances died in 1813 and was buried in Gt.Leighs aged 57. |

From his
age at burial, Francis was born about
1756. He was of Terling when he married
in 1779 but was buried in the adjacent parish of Gt.Leighs. There is a suitable
baptism at Gt Leighs:
C 13Oct1757 Frances s John & Ann SPEAKMAN
Frances
SPEAKMAN is not a common name and as further proof of this baptism, the 1813
will of William SPEAKMAN, farmer of Terling, mentions his brothers Robert,
Francis and Thomas. Baptisms of all
brothers have been found also sons of John & Ann SPEAKMAN.
Ann Martha
SPEAKMAN-6 was C at Terling on 31 Jan 1779 d of Francis and Ann Martha. There is a suitable m the preceding year at
nearby Writtle:
m 14Jul1778 Francis SPEAKMAN of Terling
& Ann Martha SIMONS by licence at Writtle (the allegation was not found at
ERO)
C 31Jan1779 Ann Martha d Francis & Ann
Martha SPEAKMAN
the admon
of Francis states that Ann was his only daughter
B 10Jan1808 Martha Ann SPEAKMAN
despite
the reversal of the usual forename order, there seems little doubt that this is
the correct burial; right time, right place, and SPEAKMAN is not a common name
B 19Mar1813 Francis SPEAKMAN of Gt.Leighs
57 [b 1756]
granted May1814 to only daughter: Ann Martha SMITH wife of John
