Hi everyone,
I am researching the Urch family from around the Publow/ Pensford area. The only relatives I have got so far is a Winifred Elsie Urch, who was born 23rd January 1907. Her mother was called Lydia, and I think she appears on the 1901 census.
From my limited information I know that Winifred's father was a miner in the local coal mines and that he died when the lift cable, that was pulling him back to the surface, snapped, releasing the lift where it plummeted to the bottom of the shaft and crushed everyone inside of it. I would be very grateful if anyone could give me any more information on the Urch family around the Pensford/Publow area.

Hi Chris,
as no relationships are given on the 1841 census it's difficult to know if the above Sarah Dando was William's wife. Maria has a child from a previous marriage and it's possible that it was a second marriage for William too.
You would need to check this out -
Marriage Sept Quarter 1839 Clutton
William Dando
Sarah Hill Volume: 11 Page: 97
Deaths Dec Quarter 1846
Sarah Dando Volume: 11 Page: 72
I think I just proved myself wrong. ;D Just found this -
Marriages June Quarter 1846 Bristol
William Dando
Maria Wilkens Volume 11 Page: 185
The Sarah with William in 1841 could be his sister.
