Michael Barraud (5th child of Philip Barraud and Catherine Strang)

6/29/1717 - 1/1/0001

5th child of Philip Barraud and Catherine Strang From information which was probably unavailable to Ms. Barraud at the time of writing the book in 1968, it is now known that Michael became an apprentice to a Robert Manning, an Inn-keeper in 1735, and the citation is clear – “Michael, son of Philip Barraud, of Greenwich, merchant” Whether Michael continued with his apprenticeship as an innkeeper is unclear as, when he married Anne Monk in 1735, his occupation is noted as “Packer” although Robert Manning is mentioned several times in records of London as a general packer, barrel maker, inn-keeper, general merchant and wine merchant in Bond Court, Walbrook. Michael Barraud (b 1717) married Anne Monk on the 7th July, 1735 in London. Anne Monk was born in 1714 and baptised on the 28th August, 1714, the youngest daughter of Thomas Monk and his wife Catherine or Katharina (not confirmed but probably Crosthwaite from Cumberland) Michael Barraud and Anne Monk had 3 children. There are no further records of Michael Barraud or Anne Monk in Parish records or the IGI records for Newington, and their fate is regrettably lost. Whether they stayed in London after 1742 or perhaps emigrated is unknown. It seems most possible however that Michael may have left the employ of Robert Manning in 1741 as, to travel from Newington Butts to the City of London, a distance of over 2 miles daily and across the Thames would have been quite difficult.
