Hi there = In 1851, Jasper Guy (now 30) was living in the house of Charles (27) and Eliza (21) Gale - and their little daughter Elizabeth (2) and little son John (1) - and was employed as a house servant, with his wife Joanna and daughters Elizabeth, Sarah, and Mary Jane (6 months), and son William (5). His youngest son Samuel was born in 1858.
In 1861, he was still in Sherborne with his wife and daughters Elizabeth and Sarah (aged about 12) – where are Mary James and William - and little Samuel (aged 3). Jasper Guy was now a farm labourer; but somehow, later, he became a gentleman’s dresser – he is described also as ‘servant at Mr Penny’s’.
Most likely this was The Reverend Charles Penny of Abbey Street (Hunt & Co.'s Directory of Dorsetshire, Hampshire, & Wiltshire 1851).

Unfortunately this is an old 2005 thread and wickedlemon hasn't been back on Rootschat since 2006 but they may still get notification of replys.
