Title: Robert Woodward 1768 Batheaston Somerset
Post by: Kiaya on Saturday 21 November 15 14:21 GMT (UK)
HI, I am looking for information about a Robert Woodward born 1768 in Batheaston Somerset.  He died in 1829 and was buried there.  He married Hester (surname unknown) who was also from Batheasten born around 1770, she died and was buried in Batheaston 9 November 1845.
I am trying to find a marriage record for them.  Can anyone help?
Many thanks, Kiaya

Hello Kiaya,

I have had a look on Find my Past an excellent resource for what your after but drew a blank with search on two specific Parishes, Batheaston and Batheaston St Catherine. Unfortunately not knowing Hester/Ester's last name it may prove a bit difficult and I am no expert on Somerset.

You could give it a try with possibly a wildcard search.

Hi Kiaya,

If Hester WOODWARD, did not die until 1845, she should be on the 1841 Census have you found her?

On http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl, the only death recorded for December Quarter 1845
(oct,nov, dec) is for a hester WOODMAN.   Her burial is recorded as:-

9th November 1845 burial Heater Woodman, born 1770, Batheaston Somerset you can see this on:-

On the 1841 Census she is recorded as:-
Civil Parish -   Walcot
Hundred  -    Bath Forum
County    -           Somerset

Piece - 970, Book 4. Folio 36. Page No - 28.

Hester Woodman  70 (1771)  Laundress  born Somerset
Edward Morgan      6  (1835)                             "       "
NOTE ANCESTRY HAVE HIM AS "NORGAN".

Can you confirm the surname you are looking for?
