Proofs Proofs  
This section attempts to 'prove' that a certain person is the father or mother of an already-proven ancestor, using public records -ideally from primary sources.   
   
PP_143 That Jane Wastell (143) was the mother of Mary Smart (71) PP_71  
Mary Smart, daughter of Thomas Smart, weaver, and Jane was born the 7th of October and baptised on the 1st of November 1772 at St. Mathew Bethnal Green. Baptism  
She had 12 siblings born between 1765 and 1790, all in Bethnal Green - Jane 1765, Mary 1769, Ann 1778 and Joseph 1779 died young, while Thomas 1767, William 1770, Mary 1772, John 1774, Jane 1776, Sarah 1782, Henry 1785, Ann 1787 and James 1790 were still alive in 1829 and left bequests in the PCC Will of their father Thomas Smart. Tree  
Thomas Smart and Jane Wastell were married by licence in 1765 in St. Mary Whitehall, London with the consent of Ann Wastell her lawful mother. Marriage  
Their marriage licence give Jane's age as 19 and upwards. Licence  
This points to the baptism of Jane Wastell daughter of John Wastell, weaver, and Ann in St. Dunstan, Stepney in 1745. Baptism  
She had 11 siblings, 7 or 8 evidently dying young - John 1731, John 1732, Ann 1736, Peter 1737, Henry 1742, Charity 1747, Deborah 1749 and Deborah 1750, and 3 surviving to marry and have descendants - John b. 1734, Peter b. 1739 and William b. 1740. Tree  
This sequence of baptisms points to the marriage of John Wastell of Bethnal Green, weaver, and Ann Mayhew in St. Dunstan, Stepney in 1730. Marriage  
Jane Smart born Wastell is not mentioned in her husband's will, so predeceased him, possibly in Bethnal Green in 1807. Death  
That Jane Wastell (b. 1745 in St. Dunstan, Stepney) is our ancestor has since been confirmed by multiple DNA matches between descendants of her and of descendants of 2 of her siblings - John Wastell b. 1734 and William Wastell b. 1740. DNA  
So the mother of Mary Smart (71),  
Jane Wastell (143), born in 1745 in Stepney,  
married to Thomas Smart (142) in 1765 in Spitalfields, PP_142  
died in 1807 in Bethnal Green, was the daughter of  
John Wastell (286), and PP_286  
Ann Mayhew (287). PP_287  
   
PP_286 That John Wastell (286) was the father of Jane Wastell (143) PP_143  
Jane Wastell daughter of John Wastell, weaver, and Ann was baptised in St. Dunstan, Stepney on the 12th of August 1745. Baptism  
John Wastell and Ann had 4 out of 12 children who survived to marry and have descendants - John b. 1734, Peter b. 1739 and William b. 1740, and Jane b. 1745. Tree  
Peter Wastell born 1739 and his father John, though described normally as 'weavers', were members of the Company of Frameworkknitters of London. Peter had his 'freedom' of the frameworknitters in 1766 by patrimony, based on the freedom of his father John in 1735. Peter  
William Wastell born 1740 had his 'freedom' of the frameworknitters in 1777 by patrimony, also based on the freedom of his father John in 1735. William  
John Wastell born 1707c in the 'Artillery Ground' just outside the City of London, had his 'freedom' of the frameworknitters in 1735 by patrimony, based on the freedom of his father Richard in 1706. John  
No marriage for Richard Wastell around 1707, baptism of John around that date, nor record of Richard's wife (John's mother) has been located as yet.  
John Wastell died in 1752 in Bethnal Green just 2 years after his youngest child was born there. Death  
So the father of Jane Wastell (143),  
John Wastell (286), born in 1707c in London,  
married to Ann Mayhew (287) in 1730 in Stepney, PP_287  
died in 1752 in Bethnal Green, was the son of  
Richard Wastell (572), and PP_572  
?  (573).  
   
PP_572 That Richard Wastell (572) was the father of John Wastell (286) PP_286  
John Wastell born 1707c in the 'Artillery Ground' just outside the City of London, had his 'freedom' of the frameworknitters in 1735 by patrimony, based on the freedom of his father Richard in 1706. Birth  
No marriage for Richard Wastell around 1707, baptism of John around that date, nor record of Richard's wife/John's mother has been located as yet.  
Richard Wastell had his freedom of the Company of Frameworkknitters by service to Peter Buxton from 1697 to 1706. The indenture gives his father as Simon Wastell of Iorchester [Irchester] in the County of Northampton Clarke [Clerk] deceased. Indenture  
Simon Wastell, vicar of Irchester had 7 children with his wife Anne between 1674 and 1687 - Simon b. 1674 in Irlingborough, and in Irchester: Anne 1675, John 1678, William 1681, Mary 1682, Richard 1684, and Henry 1687. Tree  
Simon Wastell, vicar ('clerk') of Irlingborough married Anne Bent, spinster in St. Martin Leicester by licence on the 29th of October 1672. Marriage  
Simon Wastell, vicar of Irchester died in 1688 leaving his wife Anne with several small children including Richard who was 4 years old. Burial  
Richard Wastell may be the one who was buried in Whitechapel St. Mary in 1733. Burial  
So the father of John Wastell (286),  
Richard Wastell (572), born in 1684 in Irchester,  
married to ?  (573) in 1707c in ,  
died in 1733 in Whitechapel, was the son of  
Simon Wastell (1144), and PP_1144  
Anne Bent (1145).  
   
PP_1144 That Simon Wastell (1144) was the father of Richard Wastell (572) PP_572  
Richard Wastell the son of Simon and Anne was baptised in 1684 in Irchester. Baptism  
Simon Wastell, vicar of Irchester had 7 children with his wife Anne between 1674 and 1687 - Simon b. 1674 in Irlingborough, and in Irchester: Anne 1675, John 1678, William 1681, Mary 1682, Richard 1684, and Henry 1687. Tree  
Simon Wastell, vicar ('clerk') of Irlingborough married Anne Bent, spinster in St. Martin Leicester by licence on the 29th of October 1672. Marriage  
This was Simon Wastell's second marriage. His first wife Elizabeth had died earlier in the same year. Burial  
In 1662 Mr Simon Wastell had married Elizabeth Harris in Harpole, Northamptonshire. There were no children born of this match. 1st Marriage  
Simon Wastell was baptised in 1639 in Lillingstone Dayrell, Buckinghamshire, the son of Samuel Wastell, rector and Rebecca his wife. Samuel and Rebecca also had 2 other children baptised in Lillingstone Dayrell - John in 1641 (died an infant), and Elizabeth in 1642. Baptism  
Samuel Wastell had succeeded William Cade as rector of Lillingstone Dayrell in 1635, and Rebecca was the daughter of William Cade and Susanna his wife, baptised in the same parish in 1607. I have not managed to find a record of their marriage.  
Simon Wastell died in 1688 leaving his wife Anne with several small children including Richard who was 4 years old. Burial  
So the father of Richard Wastell (572),  
Simon Wastell (1144), born in 1639 in Lillingstone Dayrell,  
married to Anne Bent (1145) in 1672 in Leicester,  
died in 1688 in Irchester, was the son of  
Samuel Wastell (2288), and PP_2288  
Rebecca Cade (2289).  
   
PP_2288 That Samuel Wastell (2288) was the father of Simon Wastell (1144) PP_1144  
Simon Wastell was baptised in 1639 in Lillingstone Dayrell, Buckinghamshire, the son of Samuel Wastell, rector and Rebecca his wife. Samuel and Rebecca also had 2 other children baptised in Lillingstone Dayrell - John in 1641 (died an infant), and Elizabeth in 1642. Baptism  
Samuel Wastell succeeded William Cade as rector of Lillingstone Dayrell in 1635, and Rebecca was the daughter of William Cade and Susanna his wife, baptised in the same parish in 1607. I have not managed to find a record of their marriage as yet. Cade Memorial  
Samuel Wastell was one of 11 children born to Simon Wastell and Elizabeth his wife in Northampton - John in 1592, Hanna 1594, Elizabeth 1595, Abigail 1597, Samuel 1599, Simon 1601, Simon 1603, Benjamin 1605, Dorothy 1607 Hannah 1609 and Mary 1611. Tree  
Samuel Wastell studied at Oxford University, graduating with a B.A. from Queen's College in 1626, and an M.A. from New Inn Hall in 1628. Oxford  
Samuel Wastell died in Lillingstone Dayrell in 1655. Burial  
So the father of Simon Wastell (1144),  
Samuel Wastell (2288), born in 1599 in Northampton,  
married to Rebecca Cade (2289) in 1638c in Lillingstone Dayrell, PP_2289  
died in 1655 in Lillingstone Dayrell, was the son of  
Simon Wastell (4576), and PP_4576  
Elizabeth Bechinoe (4577).
