Hi
I'm looking for info on the family and any other details of Charles ANNETTS -Blacksmith who lived in Collingbourne Ducis (or Kingston) between 1814 and 1891.
Thank you

Hi Martin
Have you got any census details or do you want them?

Thanks Mike
I do have a full set of Census Details. I was looking for further info perhaps contained in a book about Collingbourne Ducis.

I've just discovered what prompted my question.
"Julianb" posted the fact that he had a copy of the book "Collingbourne Ducis Families" by Rev John Dryden Hodgson 1875-1896. I wondered whether there was any mention of my ANNETTS family in the book or in any other publication. As I stated previously I have a full set of Census Records for this family.

The Rev John Dryden Hodgson's "book" does indeed mention some Annetts.
Just a little context - he was rector at Collingbourne Ducis (CD) from 1875 to his death in 1896. He seems to have built a picture of the families in the village during his 21 years as Rector. So these aren't official records as such, but more his jottings. They are pretty accurate though, from what I have been able to cross-check.
He records two Annetts families living in Sunton, which I believe is part of the Collingbourne Kingston (CK) parish:
George Annetts, a tailor, with wife, Jane, and sons James, William and Henry, daughter Elizabeth (who was servant to R G Wilson esq of Salisbury; and was confirmed in 1878), and son George Charles born 30 Dec 1868 [I assume the details on the last two children are recorded because George attended the CD church, even though they technically lived in CK.
Charles Annetts, blacksmith, with his wife whose maiden name was Towler.
There are other Annetts in CD, and I will deal with them in the next post.

Other "Annetts" mentioned in the rector's notes:
Ann Annetts, daughter of William Annetts (a labourer from CK), married Charles Bruce CD 30 October 1858. They lived on the Andover Road in CD, and had 13 children (all baptised CD)
Samuel Broad who married Jane Walker in 1883, is shown as base-born, with a stepfather Henry Annetts
[More to come from other sources]

The other info comes from the "alternative" census. It appears the CD enumerator kept an additional record in 1851 and 1861 and Wilts FHS have also published this (as well as the Rector's jottings).
The Annetts' families recorded in CD in 1851 were:
- Amy (74) and daughter Mary (36)
- Jane (83) and sons Richard (41) and Joseph (39)
Stephen (49), wife Hannah, and eight children
- Stephen (49, wife Hannah, and eight children)
The Annetts' families recorded in CD in 1861 were:
- George (37, Tailor) Wife Jane, and three sons
- Hannah (widow 41) and six children
-
And finally, there's references to Annetts' in the book "Collingbourne Remembered - a village history", which is a coffee table book version of research one of the villagers (Pamela Cogdell) undertook .
Court Roll of the Manor of CD: Copyholders included Edward Annetts - the date 26 October 1695 is recorded (which I assume is the date from which the copyhold applied; other dates against names range from 1684 to 1734)
In 1845 James Annetts had a substantial allotment behind the cottages on the Ludgershall Road; Stephen Annetts had a cottage and garden on that same road.
Extracts from the title deeds for the Savernake Forest estate show :
26/3/1731 William Annetts of Collingbourne Sunton, husbandman
20/3/1732 John Annetts, of Collingbourne Sunton, husbandman
20/3/1732 Elizabeth Annetts of Collingbourne Sunton
The book has quite a bit of info from Cora Annetts (descended from George the tailor, I believe) and Reg Annetts who died in 1992. The book also has the will of Edward Annatts, Yeoman of CD dated 7 September 1728, and an item on the old forge where James Annetts lived and worked in 1843.
(I assume you have access to the pre-1837 baptisms and burials in CD and CK? For example that Charles Annetts was baptised in CD on 12 December 1813, son of James Tristian Annetts, blacksmith, and Ann Reeves?)
Hope all this is helpful

Thanks Julian, for all that information on the ANNETTS famlies.
My gr grandmother was Sarah Ann ANNETTS, daughter of Charles ANNETTS and Elizabeth TOWLER. Charles' parents were James Tristian ANNETTS and Ann REEVES.
Do you have any specific information from the book (in addition to that which you have already posted) on these individuals?
Your information is of great interest to me as I have never been to CD.
Tahks again for your assistance

Your information is of great interest to me as I have never been to CD.
Neither have I, Martin :D
Sadly, I couldn't find anything more on these names - I assume because Sarah Ann moved away (eventually to Warminster via Westminster and a brief return to CK?)
Do you have the baptism of James Tristian Annetts in Vernham Dean, Hampshire?
JULIAN
-
Thank you Julian
No, I don't have James, Baptism.
Thanks
Martin

James' baptism has been transcribed as James Thustain Annetts 7 September 1783, Vernham Dean (born 2 August)
Charles Annetts and Mary Thustain married 18 August 1783 Vernham Dean.
Vernham Dean is less than 10 miles east of the Collingbournes, but in Hampshire not Wiltshire.
I hope this is helpful

My ancestor Francis Thomas was married to Rev Hodgson and I was delighted to hear of his notes which have been printed in Collinbourne Ducis families.
Reading your posts I wondered if anyone has heard of the Wiltshire OPC project. (Online parish Clerk) with the aim to cover every parish in Wilts.
Its a brilliant idea to put as much information about a parish and the people who'd lived there together with resouces, photo's, stories etc. Hopefully as people submit information we will help each learn more about our ancestors and how they lived. It will also help people who are unable to visit to get an idea of what it's like. I'm the OPC for steeple ashton and volunteered because I found so much info in the Wilts archives when researching my family but also gained info on other families and was glad to find somewhere to post it at last. I would encourage you to submit anything you've found about Collingbourne Ducis.
I've added my info on Rev Hodgson and my gg aunt Fanny written by my grandmother who stayed with them.

I have only just noticed your posting. I can confirm there is considerable mention of the Annetts in Pam Cogell's book "Collingbourne Remembered", particularly pages 117-122 which traces the family history from William in 1731 to Reg who died in 1992. There are several old phoptographs of the family. I do not see specific mention of your Charles, so they may have been a parallel line.
I am aware there were several Annetts lines in the district and one, William Henry, married into my own family to Fanny Walker in 1895 in Collingbourne Kingston. CK and CD are only 1.5 miles apart and are very closely associated.
If you have a James or Arthur Annetts in your line during the latter 19th century you may be a descendant of John and Francis West. In this case that could be another source of considerable information.
I hope this helps.
-
Thank you for that. The only James that I have is my Charles ANNETTS' father James Tristian ANNETTS (1783-1854). I am aware that there is some connection to John and Francis WEST and their WEST charities.
