Devon / Re: William & Ann Nutt - Barnstaple

Hi,

I have found that Nutt and Nott seem interchangable in 19th century.

This is from the A2A website at http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/

North Devon Record Office  B 28 Z/2/319  1830

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Re: BRACHER - Andover

Our John Bracher (the one born in Andover) was in South Molton, Devon in 1861 and 1871.

I believe I might have found his baptism now.  John Blatcher bap 26 February 1796 in Andover, mother Clementina, no father mentioned.  However there is also a brother Samuel Blatcher bap 3 June 1800, father Samuel, mother Clemna.  I'm happy with the Blatcher name instead of Bracher as two of John's own children were baptised with the surname Blatcher in Taunton and the rest Bracher.

Thanks Jebber

I'll look into that one, although Andover and Lymington and quite a distance apart.

Thanks Grandma, oddly enough I had just returned to this message from reading that very thread about Miss Bracher. 

There may well be a connection, but our branch of Brachers were long gone from Andover by then, and in fact even from Taunton, they moved on to Barnstaple in Devon in the 1840's.

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / BRACHER - Andover
« on: Wednesday 31 August 11 11:22 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

Your opinions or suggestions would be appreciated ...

In my husband's tree we have a John BRACHER born around 1798, married in 1821 Taunton, Somerset to Hannah WOODLAND.  He states on every census from 1851 to 1871 that he was born in Andover, but I cannot find a baptism.

There are a couple of other BRACHERs in Taunton around this time, Daniel, born around 1806 in Somerset (according to 1841 census) and Samuel born between 1810 and 1818 Taunton (various census), but no baptisms for them.

There are also a couple of interesting burials for BRACHERs in Taunton.  Samuel BRACHER age 60 buried 15 April 1821 and Clementine BRACHER age 59 buried 29 December 1822.

So, I decided to approach from a different angle and try to find a Clementine married around 1798, near Andover and BINGO I found Samuel BRADSHAW marrying Clementina BAVERSTOCK in Andover in 1794 (on FindMyPast).  Bearing in mind that BRACHER is possibly pronounced Bratcher, (Bratcher/Bradshaw?) do you think this marriage is a possibility? :-\   (Further evidence, Clementina's father is possibly called Daniel).

If anyone has access to original Andover parish records I would appreciate any further information given on the marriage register.

Sorry it's so long and thanks in advance.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Cause of Death

Hi

I think the typhoid idea is probably not as strong as the drunk up/down (possibly alcohol related) suggestion and having read PrueM's post and checked myself I can see that 'epota' is 'spots' (OCR scanning produces some wild transcriptions sometimes!).

Thanks to both of you

Oh gosh, now I'm confused.  This is something completely different.  More investigation needed I think.
Thanks for your reply

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Cause of Death

Thanks for your replies. 

FreckNeale, I'm afraid I can't scan it as my scanner isn't compatible with my laptop.  I have compared the handwriting with the rest of the certificate and I'm sure of my interpretation. 

Evie, The translation of epotus sounds promising.  Do you think this could be an alcohol related cause of death.  The man in question was a wine merchant's porter for many years until he died, perhaps he imbibed a little of the juice along the way!

You've given me food for thought.
Thanks

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Cause of Death
« on: Wednesday 17 November 10 16:03 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone help with the meaning of a 'cause of death' on a 1876 death certificate please.  It says 'delirium epota or epotic'.
What on earth is that?

Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Sue
