Hi,
I'm looking for Charles Hedges, b. Aston Abbotts 1836
In 1861 he will be married to Sarah and possibly have child Thomas (b.1861).
I'd be grateful for any information as there are two Charles Hedges about, and I'm trying to place the correct one by use of family members.
Connections with Aston Abbotts, Wingrave and Rowsham

Tarajobrien,
Thanks. I need to print this off and work it all out.
On another point I notice one of your area interests is Standon. Would this be Standon in Herts?
Regards

Hi KA
That's great that you can get back to 1650's ;D
Buckinghamshire is not offically available online yet so there is no access to the actual images yet but when they are available i will let you know what the occupations and addresses are.
There is a guy called Rick on this website that has 1841 Herts census, if you post in the Herts look up he is pretty good a replying.
Yep is Standon in Herts, i have the Miles family there - Elijah Miles (his real name was Elijah Smith - his mothers maiden name, Miles is his stepfather's name and it was changed to that sometime between 1871 and 1876) he was born in Anstey Herts was a horse dealer and farmer (like his stepfather) - married Caroline Ann Gault of Standon in 1876 and had 10 kids all born in and around Standon/Little Hadham. What is your connection??

Hi Tara,
Thanks for that.
I've got two ancestors I'm looking for b. Standon.
Joseph Dowton b.1835 and William b.1840. From what I can make out their father could be called Ezaias. Not a name I am familiar with! I didn't think Herts census was available. However, with your information on 1841 availablity, probably worth a posting!
Thanks for all your help.

In response to the message requiring clarification regarding John Hedges and Sarah, the following may be of some help:
John Hedges baptised 10 November 1798 in Aston Abbots to James Hedges and Prudence Badrick married on the 31st May 1819 in Whitchurch to Sarah Kibble born about 1798
They had eight children:
Caroline baptised 17th September 1820 in Whitchurch
George baptised 30 May 1823 in Aston Abbots
Eliza baptised 25th June 1826 in Aston Abbots
Mary baptised 21 September 1828 in Aston Abbots
Amos boptised 12 December 1830 in Aston Abbots
Ann baptised 10th April 1833 in Aston Abbots
Charles baptised 16th June 1835 in Aston Abbots
Jane baptised 1840
I have the same information for the 1851 census as above.
1871 John aged 76 living with Sarah aged 75 and grandson John Higgs in Aston Abbots.
John Higgs was the son of daughter Eliza and her husband William Higgs. they were both deceased by 1871.
1875
18th February, Sarah died aged 70 of Old Age & Bronchitis, John Higgs was present at the death and registered it. (I have a copy of the 1851, 1871 census and the death certificate).

Bec,
Thank you very much. I was particularly interested in the Higgs connection. Charles and Sarah's son, Thomas, was with a Sarah A Higgs as a boarder in the 1881 Census. I wondered if there was a connection. And I'm also grateful for Sarah's death details. Will save me a certificate!
I presume you are connected to the Hedges family. Do you branch off at the Higgs?
Once again, many thanks for your time and trouble.

Hi KA,
John Hedges b 1796 married to Sarah Kimble is my 3 cousin 6 times removed. I noticed your (old) message and thought I would post this. John's daughter Eliza b 1826 married a William Higgs and had two children Sarah and John.
I would like some help with my connection to the Hedges - Charlotte Hedges (Wingrave b1832) (Her daughter Julia is my link into the Hedges family) - does anyone have a copy of Charlotte's marriage cert? I'm thinking that she was unmarried and had four children but I'm not sure - Charlotte is my Great x3 Grandmother and I would love to know if she married and to whom?
Thanks for any help.
Kindest regards

Hi Tracylinks.
Are you saying that Charlotte b. 1832 is the daughter of John and Sarah Hedges? As, according to the 1841 census they have no Charlotte with them. Now, that's not to say she can't be elsewhere in the extended family, but I just wanted to clarify I was reading your posting correctly.
Regards

Hi KA
I hope this all makes sense!
No, my listing for John Hedges and Sarah Kibble (I spelt her surname wrong) is to explain a Higgs connection i.e. their daughter Eliza married a William Higgs and had two children Sarah and John.
My connection to the family is as thus: John's father James b1763 - then James' father James b 1735 - then James b 1693 (John's Great Grandfather who married Hannah Badrick) had a older brother called Richard b1681 - Richard's oldest son was called Richard! b1710 - he had a son called Thomas b 1758 and in turn he had a son called William b 1798. Still with me?
It's William's daughter Charlotte b1832 that I was referring to in my original message. She had four children and it is her daughter Julia Hedges b 1854 that married George Bignell b1853. George and Julia had a daughter called Mary b1881 who is my Great grandmother - she married Alfred Bonham b1882.
Available data would appear to suggest that Charlotte didn't marry and it was this that I needed help with - I would love to put a name to my Great x3 Grandfather if I could!
Hope this makes sense - any help anyone can offer would be gratefully received!
Kindest Regards

Two things to start with:
Have you Julia and Georges marriage cert. And/Or Julia's birth cert?
Have you picked up Charlotte on any of the later census? 51/61/71
Regards

Hi KA,
No Marriage Cert (my original post was asking whether anyone had a copy) and no birth cert (yet!). Charlotte and her four children, George, Julia, Amos and Samuel are all listed as living with their (grand)father William on the 1861 census. They are all listed as Hedges, their mother's maiden name so I'm thinking that she didn't marry hence my thought that she remained unmarried. I can't find anything on the 1871 census for Charlotte or any of the children. I'm still fairly new to genealogy so I may be missing the basics here. Most confused. I think I may have to order the certificates and see what comes up.
Kindest Regards
Tracy

Youngest, George was born 1850. So, theroetically, should be with Charlotte on 1851 Census.
On the ancestory index I can see mention of :1841 Charlotte
1851 Charlotte
1861 Charlotte with a William Hedges - you have found this one
1871 Charlotte
You need to make a separate posting asking for a look up for these three census. Sorry, i don't have access myself. In the meanwhile, on the 1861 census - what did it have as her marital status?
It could well be that she never married. However - last child was born 1857. So there is also the possibility that if she did marry, he could have died by 1861 census - hence not showing up.
So, as well as checking out these census you will need to order certs. Personally I'd go for Julia's birth first. Julia's marriage should mention a father - but I have found in the past that sometimes paternal information is not accurate. Births better, but still not 100%. Let me know how you get on. Regards KA
