Dear Cheryl

I think I contacted you about a year ago regarding a WILLIAM SANGER, Corkcutter from Wilts who moved to South London (Lambeth and Southwark).

Well, I can now give you some more information for your files.  Not sure exactly what info you note on your files - whether it is purely a name and area or more detailed info, but I'll give you all I have and you can pick out what you need.

WILLIAM RANDELL SANGER was born 1791 in St Thomas, Salisbury, Wilts. He was a Corkcutter.  (his father was a Christopher Sanger born South Newton, Salisbury, but I do not know his occupation - although more than likely a corkcutter. Mother was Mary WHEALE)

His grandfather, WILLIAM SANGER b1716 St Thomas Salisbury, was also a Corkcutter. 

William Sanger b1716 had a brother named CHRISTOPHER SANGER b1709 St Thomas Salisbury - also a Corkcutter by trade.  This Christopher then married and lived in West Hatch of Tisbury.

I stumbled across these references on the Wiltshire Marriage Licence Bonds - both William b1716 and Christopher b1709 were Bondsmen at various marriages.

If you happen to come across any more Sanger corkcutters during your research I would be very glad to hear of it as it could well be that they are all related to my tree!

Many thanks and kind regards

Athenalaz

ps - I ordered the back issue of your article in PFH mag and it was excellent.

Dorset Lookup Requests / Re: Dorset baptisms search - SANGER

Thank you, April.  I will keep a note of these baptisms.

My Sanger famly are proving very difficult - I can't believe that they didn't baptise any of their children but it's beginning to look that way.

I appreciate your help.

Regards - Leah  :)

Much appreciated - Leah

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: 1861 St George, Southwark lookup please

Hi Shanko

I know you were asking for census info on this Mason family, but since this is proving quite difficult (the only Charlotte Mason I found on on the 1871 census was living with her married sister, Frances Carrington and brother in law Richard Carrington in Southwark - it stated Charlotte's occ as Hair Net Maker - Charlotte's age stated as 20 yrs).

I then found this birth entry, which might be her:

MASON, Charlotte
September 1849
St George Southwark 
Volume 4
Page 73

and a marriage for Keziah Mason:

Dec qtr - Lambeth - 1d 514

Found a Keziah Mason on 1871 census, aged 21, living as a lodger in  St Marylebone - occ machinist.

Not sure if any of that will be of help, but it's all I could find.

Regards, Leah.

ps (could William Mason have died before the 1861 census or do you have him alive at any point after that?  If you are just going on what the marr cert says, it could be that Charlotte did not mention her father was deceased). Just a thought.

Hi again Cheryl

Re William Sanger, cork cutter - it appears that at some point in the mid-1820s he ended up in London (one of his sons states being born 1829 Lambeth on a census report) - would cork cutting have been more popular in London by any chance?

Just wondering if this is the reason they came to London from Bristol.

Dorset Lookup Requests / Dorset baptisms search - SANGER
« on: Monday 27 June 05 15:02 BST (UK)  »
Hi would anyone be able to do a search on any of the following Sangers born in Dorset. I have already had the Bristol parish records searched and didn't find any of these, so am hoping they will be on the Dorset records. Am just having to try all of the West Country parishes.

William Sanger bc1815
Jane Sanger bc1820
Christopher Sanger bc1823
Charles Sanger bc1823

Parents - father: William Sanger
             mother: Mary Ann Sanger (nee Webber)

They were married in 1812 so these children would have been born any time after that - although from later census records it looks as though Charles and Christopher were born 1823 (twins - unless census ages are wrong) and Jane's is circa 1820.

Seems a huge gap from the time this couple married in 1812 so I am sure there are other siblings that were born that I have not found yet (they may have died young).

I have found a record for an older son, William, b1812 in Wilts with parents of these names but not sure how to confirm this is my family as William and Mary are common names.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Regards - Athenalaz

Hi Cheryl

Found these forums by doing a search on Cork Cutter as I was curious to find out what exactly that meant. After reading all these posts, I now know!

Saw that you were asking for anyone with cork cutters in their ancestry so thought I'd add mine to your collection:

William Sanger born circa 1790 (don't have a definite place of birth, but he married in Bedminster, Somerset so possibly he came from there or Wilts - tons of Sangers in the West Country).  He had at least 6 children - all of whom state their father's profession as "Cork Cutter" on marriage certs - and he was deceased by 1848, possibly by 1841 when his children were living alone in London. His sons didn't carry on with their father's profession - all but one of them became tin plate workers.

If you happen to have any info on any Sanger cork cutters, I'd be glad to hear about it.

Regards - Leah
