Somerset / Worle Ancestors 1840ish
« on: Friday 12 March 10 19:31 GMT (UK)  »
The Worle History Society is carrying out a study of the Tithe Map of 1839.  Accompanying the map is a list of all the the landholders and occupiers of the time.  There are about a hundred surnames in each category so too many for me to list here, I'm afraid!

If you have Worle ancestors of that period, and are happy to share the information, we would love to hear from you, as we are hoping to add as much human detail as possible to our modern version. We would welcome any information which you may have managed to unearth and of course we are interested to know where Worle descendants have ended up.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Peter

Hi Valda

Thanks for the link.  Unfortunately I can't replicate whatever you did to get to the Lepard/ Kenward marriage.  I'm getting error messages on "events" and "directory".  Perhaps that's the problem.

Regards

Peter

I have just received the marriage certificate for John Johnson and Julia Kenward 11 Sep 1837.  They were married in and living at Tattsfield (modern Tatsfield? - about 3 miles from Limpsfield).  John's father was Benjamin, which I already  had.  Julia's father was JAMES.

This keeps open the option that Julia=Julia Kember christened  8 Mar 1818 at Limpsfield (parents James and Harriet).  It would be WONDERFUL if somebody check that entry in the Limpsfield PRs.  If not I'll follow up Kerry's helpful tip. 

By the way, Valda, what was your source for the marriage of Richard Lepard and Allice Kenward?  I cannot find it on Family Search.

Thanks for all you help everybody

Peter

Hi Valda

Yes.  I sent off for the marriage record as soon as I received Jane's reply to my original post so I guess it will be a few days yet.

Thanks

Peter

Hi Valda

What a wonderful collection of given names.  I hope I can claim them!

As you say I do need to carefully check the original entry for Julia's baptism.  A misrecording or a mistranscription from Kenward to Kember is not impossible and she does fit very nicely in the sequence of James and Harriet's children.  The right year too!.

Thank you for all the other goodies too.  There's plenty to think about there.

Thank you so much for all that detail.

Regards

Peter

That's interesting, Jane.

William Benjamin was born in Longcot, Berks (near Shrivenham) as was his older sister Charlotte Emily.  She was baptised there and the record tells us that John was working on the railroad (presumably the GWR).  William Benjamin was born 1 January 1841 so it seems that he was taken back to Limpsfield for baptism.

I'm grateful for that as it fills a gap between Berkshire and the family's next appearance in Tonbridge, Kent in the census of 1841 where John and Julia stayed for a while and produced two more children.

Many thanks

Peter

P.S.  As I was typing I see you have posted again!  Yes, I think I shall need to do that as well as looking for Julia's baptism.  Thanks.  Peter.

Hi Kerry

Thanks for the tip.  I will contact them and see what they suggest.

I live in Somerset so it's a little out of my way!  However a trip to the south east is long overdue so perhaps I can work it in.

Thanks again

Peter

Thank you, Jane.

So my ancestors were among the first batch to use this new-fangled form of registration.  I wonder what they thought of it!

I will certainly follow that up with GRO.  Many thanks.

Peter
