Hi just traced Charlotte Trim's parents they were Sarah Moxam and John Trim, her grandparents on Johns side were John Trim and Eleanor Fowler from Donhead Wiltshire. Can I have an official source such as a parish lookup for these people. Also if possible this could link to James Short's parents. Turns out the family moved from one town to another so it's still very likely that the Shorts were from Lincolnshire or Wiltshire. There also might be of Trim Short marrages.

Shows this family gets around. How far is Somerset from Wiltshire? Is it the children not born in Somerset or the parents as well?

A family member who has spent years doing research trying to find the parents of James and Charlotte has said the certificates she has, have nothing on them that suggests were they came from or can help. Seems all very odd. They had 4 boys in England, then moved to NZ and had more children. Why is it so hard finding this couple? There are no details for them in Wiltshire which suggests they were both born there and there are plenty of other Shorts which suggest that the Short family did live in and around Wiltshire. There is also a marrage and births of some children recorded there. There are also no records of them having been born in Lincolnshire were the family are sure they must have come from. Just don't know were to go next. Does their marrage details list anything that can help, do you have access?

I am actually asking for someone else. She states that she belives James and Charlotte were born in Lincolnshire, I think Wiltshire as at least 4 sons were born in Wiltshire. Charlotte was born abt 1809 James 1808 or there abouts. The children you have listed are their children. Another son Ebenezer short was born in Wellington New Zealand in 1845 and died in Sandon/Sanson in 1876 at a very young age. There seams to be a problem obtaining parents for both James and Charlotte, and this is were the problem is. HELP!
