Title: Ponters from Bath England
Post by: icini on Saturday 22 January 05 22:04 GMT (UK)

I am interested in James and Mary Ponter from bath Somerset. Both born circa 1808- Mary died 1884, and James before 1873, but no exact date. I have 1851-1881 census information .  children wereJames. William, John, Hester, Ruth (twins), Edward, Elizabeth. My direct line is William 1836-?. He married Fanny Morris in Wales.  I can follow them but I would like to fill in some dates, for others. and see what happened to the siblings if possible.  many thanks to all those who can help...Donna

Hi Donna, that's really interesting. Did did William Thomas Ponter (1834-1864) die in Swansea? or Britton Ferry?

You mention Giants Grave..this is in a village called Britton Ferry, My James Ponter and Elizabeth are recorded in the 1861 census also living in Giants Grave his occupation is an Engineer.

Kind regards
