Title: Fensome/Butterfield
Post by: luciacw on Saturday 03 March 12 15:40 GMT (UK)

Hi all,

Looking for more information on the family of Edward Fensome/Fensom, born c1835 in Pepperstock, Herts. I have his parents down as Thomas Fensome, born Pepperstock 1803 and Maria née Butterfield born Berkhamstead 1810. I'm a bit sketchy on this as I don't have Edward on any census prior to his marriage in 1859. I've not been able to find a baptism for him. I wonder if anyone could help confirm or deny whether they are his parents. I'm sure I came to this conclusion somehow but I can't find a record of it in my notes.

Incidentally, I can't seem to find a baptism entry for Thomas Fensome born 1803 either so I seem to have hit a bit of a dead end.

Thanks very much
- Lucia

I have a link to you.  I am descended from Edward's sister Sarah who had twin boys out of wedlock!!  How scandalous.  I have the children of Thomas FENSOM and Maria BUTTERFIELD as George 1829-1829, Elizabeth 1830-1830, Mary 1832-1892, Sarah 1833-1894 and Edward 1835-1899. 

Regards
Lisa

The Fensome's were still in Harpenden in 1940s/1950s.

Alas not related but in the good old days, we had a home help, who came sometimes with her son.  I think that she was 'Dolly' Fensome, but that was most probably a nickname.  He was a strange little chap who was said to like kippers with custard!  Can't recall his name: sorry.

Good hunting

Rosemary was born in Harpenden and grew up there.

Her Fathers name was CHARLES FENSOME  Born approx 1910       Died  approx 1992

We were in Harpenden and the son's name was, I think, Graham.

Good luck...
