St.John# OUTLAW

  General Notes:

Baptism info and confirmation of parents from Ann-Marie Ell. I later found the record in Northants CRO - no additional information.

In the 1777 Militia List for Northants (supplied by Susan Tall) St John Outlaw is listed as Farmer of Irthlingborough.

Marriage date from the Pell/Outlaw pedigree in the Northants FHS Library, Wellingborough.
Birthplace from the same source. And death location, although this could just mean buried in Irthl, which we already knew, and not necessarily the same thing.
They didn't get married in Irthlingborough between 1780 and 1785, or I couldn't find it anyway.

The 'Phipps Family of Towcester' ;
http://northamptoncastle.homeip.net/towcester/books/NNAQ%20phipps.htm
states "Two children predeceased Pickering Phipps; Hannah, born on March 4th, 1807, and died October 9th, 1828, aged 21, unmarried; and Edward, who was born on April 6th, 1801. This Edward Phipps married the daughter of Mr. St. John Outlaw, of Irthlingborough, and had four children; two sons Pickering, and Edward who still resides at Towcester, and two daughters one of whom married Mr. W. Rice (Rice's foundry), of Brier Hill, Northampton; and the other first Mr. Thomas Pain, of Felmersham, co. Bedford, by whom she had a son and a daughter now deceased, and after his death Mr. James Barry.

1824; in grant of custody of a lunatic to the care of his wife he is described as a farmer of Irthlingborough.

Docs in Northant CRO; Affadavit signed by St John and Eleanor stating that they knew Simon Oliver Taylor of Irthlingborough, deceased, and his two wives. Not sure of purpose, didn't read in detail (running out of time!) dated 1830.

In the Outlaw pedigree in the Northants CRO he is described as the youngest son and "owner of estates sold to G.Lovey(?)" last bit of that was hard to read.

12 Mar 1831; St John Outlaw signs an affadavit (held in Northants CRO with a copy of the family tree) stating that; he is the son of Thomas Outlaw and Sarah. His mother died approx 48 years ago (when he was about 27). She said she was one of two daus of Wm Underwood of Irthlingborough aforesaid Gentleman deceased and Sarah his wife, formerly Sarah Bush, spinster and that she had only 1 sister named Ann who married the Rev Robert Smith of Great Wilington(?). Goes on to say basically that his aunt always maintained there were only two children and that the dau Elizabeth who died aged 1 month and is in the Irthlingborough PR's was never mentioned to him. Not sure of the purpose of this document !
NB; Death approx 48 years ago matches what we had, although he was ~30 when she died, not 27.
