Title: Grace Pittard
Post by: PLB on Saturday 31 January 15 05:01 GMT (UK)

I am trying to confirm the date of birth of Grace Pittard. She married William James Nurton in 1845. The 1861 census has her born in Kingsbury in c1822 (based on her age). The death of Grace Nurton in 1895 has her born in Chard in 1818 (based on her age).
It would also be very helpful if I could find a baptism or birth certificate confirming her parents.
Many Thanks

In the 1871-1891 census years she lists her birth as Hennock, Devon.   Her marriage cert would confirm her fathers name.

A tree on Anc.  lists her baptised in Hennock, Devon 27 Oct 1817 (data supplied by Drewsteignton Online Parish Clerk) with father William Pittard(who died in Kingsbury Episcopi, Somerset) in 1848 age 74 and mother Jane Kensole (died 1874 in Kingsbury Episcopi age 94) As Grace's husband died in 1869 so he may have given her birthplace as Kingsbury in the earlier census years.
