ALL THE
DATA
The
Covington Database holds details of now over 24,500 Covingtons. To sort this
data into bite size chunks and to make it easier to open pages, I have split
the data into alphabetical groups, sorted by Christian name. Just click on your
letter choice below & then scan through the list that appears to find your
selected name
Each record
shows the Covington, Coventon or Covernton with a
unique Ref Number Identifier which can be used in the Search Engine to cross reference with other links,
e.g. parents & offspring. Also included are birth
date, birthplace, father's name & ref no., mother's name & ref no., marriage
details, incl. date, place, spouse & spouse ref no., death details, date,
place & age plus any other info that I have found relating to that
individual.
The site offers a Google Sponsored search engine facility which can provide links

For information: All
those “Covingtons” born as a Covington are shown in uppercase, those who
married into the family name are in lowercase. To help find individuals where
an actual birth date is not known I have established some simple rules, they
are as follows:
Marriage date known but not birth date = Marriage year less 22. (not
particularly scientific but based on the fact that until recent years the
average age at marriage was 22)
First child’s birth date known but not marriage date = Child birth year less 1.
Birth date known but not marriage date = Birth year plus 22. (see
above)
I never guess at death dates and always use the
terms "around ", if I don't really know a date for sure, and
"during", if I know the year but not the exact date. Occasionally
where it is totally impractical to guess at a date, I'll use the terms
"before" or "after". A number of records come from
the U.K. Public Record Office Indexes which often only provide the quarter of
the year that an event took place, i.e. Birth,
Marriage or Death. These quarters are Jan-Mar, Apr-Jun, Jul-Sep & Oct-Dec
and recorded as such in the database.
