Charlotte & Julia were already in Kingsbury in 1841, so really dont know what to make of the 1851 PoB - probably Kingsbury all along ?
There is a place called Charlton Mackerell .... all in the same sort of area ...

Hi - yes, its consistant as Woolavington - but the only Hooper claiming that as a PoB in 1851 census is a Judith born c1839 - in 1851 she is in Bridgwater Union Poor House ....
In 1841 theres a HASPER family in Wool* - daus Judith & Julia .... looks like HAS, not HOO but you never know !

Hi all
Hasper has been mis-transcribed - it is Hooper. There were 2 daughters Judith & Julia but the names seem to have been swapped around. Maybe Judith died, though I can find no evidence of this. I am descended from their brother George. Other siblings: Deliah, Vincent, Henry, Judith & Charles have gone AWOL. Edwin (sometimes Edward) was transported to Van Dieman's land. James died 1847. Jemima died in Bridgwater workhouse age 1 in 1850. Samuel moved to the Banwell/Yatton area. Still trying to track down the rest of them :)
