Hi
I have been researching an
ancestor John Archer showing on 1851 and 1881 census as being born abt 1814 in
Stanford Rivers and 1861 and 1871 census as being born in Munt Essex. I have been unable to find a village called
Munt are you able to tell me if it is known by any other name. On the Family Search site i did find a John
Archer born in 1814 in Theydon Mount and was wondering if this is the same
village. If you know anything of a
village called Munt I would appreciate your help.
Thanks Deanna Clay

Dear Deanna
There isn't a village called
Munt in Essex. Stanford Rivers and Theydon
Mount are neighbouring parishes.
Mountnessing is a few miles away.
You might wish to investigate
further clues by looking at the Essex Place Names Project which can be accessed
via www.esah160.blogspot.co.uk

Thank you for your reply to my
enquiry and the link you sent. I was > able to find Munt mentioned on there
as a parish. Munt appears to have been
the original parish with these place names Munt (parish); Theyden Lessington; Theidon
Parva. This obviously later became Theydon Mount. Thanks again for your help

Many thanks for this. I am a member of a History Group covering
this village so this will be of interest to members.
