Hi,
I am looking for Walter Jennings in Heathfield or district. By 1881, he had married and moved to Glamorgan:
Walter JENNINGS Head M M 30 Gardener Heathsfield,
Somerset, England High St Llandaff,
But he probably wasn't married by 1871.
BTW There are at least 3 Walter Jennings born in the Milverton area between 1848 and 1851.
The other two are known to be related to me.
One moved to Exmoor and one to Wellington (Little Jurston farm).

Thanks for that.
I think this Walter is the one who moved to Wellington, but it is still very useful. The Alfred in your list is definitely my great-grandfather.

Thanks Alli,
There are the two which I already know about.
James is my great-great- grandfather, and William is his uncle who moved to Exmoor.
It is the third one I am looking for!

Two servants in the household of Daniel Thomas (Farmer). I've included another servant as he appears to be from the same area as your Walter so I wonder if they travelled to Wales for work together?
Mount Pleasant, Monk Nash, Glamorgan, 1871
James Cornish 21 Hillfarrance, Somerset, Farm Servant
Walter Jennings 20 Morton, Somerset, Farm Servant
RG10/5418 Folio 50 Page 12
Hope this helps

Thanks for the information. I will try to match it against what I know.

Hope I'm not too late to join in! The Walter Jennings that you are looking for is my great grandfather! He was indeed the Walter listed in the 1851 census as living in the Dairy House at Way House in Somerset. Charles Jennings lived in the same Dairy House, so I would hypothesize that he is a brother to William Jennings. Walter's father.
I have the marriage certificate for Walter Jennings and Harriet Hinde in Wales, and it shows his father as William a Gardner.
I do know of the other two Walters, one in Milverton and one in Essex, and wondered how they are connected. "Walter" seems to have been an important family name at the time.
I'd be interested in communicating with other Jennings.

Wendy, you are not too late!
Let me know where to send it and I will give you the tree as I know it.
The earliest member I have is Thomas Jennings, who married Mary Dite in Oake in 1800. He seems to have had brothers Hugh and William, but none of them appear in the Oake baptisms, so I don't know where they came from.

oh dear, we already have a conflict. My Walter from William, born 1811 and Jane would not have had a grandfather born in 1800. Although I suspect that William's fa was Thomas, as his first son was Thomas, as was his. Nevertheless, we are the same family, and can exchange 'proofs'! I hope it is okay to send my email address through here.

I grew up in Cardiff, hence the Glamorgan Jennings, but am now in Canada
