Title: 1841/1851 - GILSON (Holcombe area)
Post by: beansoup on Tuesday 12 July 05 09:57 BST (UK)

Hello

I'm currently working on the top end of my Gilson/Heal tree and am trying to find parents or siblings for Charles Gilson (born c1830/31 in Holcombe, Somerset).  He is shown as married to Matilda Heal(Hale) on 1861 and their eldest child, Temperance Sarah is born in Wales in 1854 - their other children are all born in Somerset.  Unfortunately I cannot find a marriage registration for Charles and Matilda, so am unable to find father's name for Charles.  Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you.

Su

Hi Sue

Thank you - this looks as if it will be the right family - James and Susan(nah) and Lydia are in Stratton on the Fosse on 1861, and this family has links to that village as well.  Richard and his family are living next door but one to Charles in Holcombe .... looks very hopeful indeed!  I'll research a bit more based on the different ages!!!

Many thanks.

Su

Here is the family in 1851 census Su. Charles does not appear to be listed for Somerset-perhaps he is already in Wales
