Thanks, I can see the similarity with the S of Sutton.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Cause of death 1852
« on: Friday 31 October 25 18:20 GMT (UK) »
Thank you to you both. The middle initial has been transcribed as 'L' which I can understand, but I'm also not sure if it's actually just part of the 'do'. There is no middle name recorded on the birth, death or baptism records.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Cause of death 1852
« on: Friday 31 October 25 17:03 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone read the first two words of this cause of death? It's for a 12 year old in 1852.
And the same person is on the 1851 census, is there a middle initial for George? There is one shown in the transcription but I'm not 100% sure and no other records show a middle name.

Thanks for pointing out the baptism which I'd missed due to the different spelling. I have the birth certificate of R Sanders (Richard) which confirms Mary Essery as the mother. I think we have the right family, I will just look at the marriages of the children of James and Mary again as the change of jobs seems unusual.

Thank you for your reply and for pointing out John in 1851. I have tracked the other John who married Ann. I'm thinking the correct James and Mary are the ones who lived in South Street, Hatherleigh. What is a bit strange is that James died in 1860, yet this isn't mentioned on the marriage certificates of his children and he seems to vary between a farmer, labourer, gardener, carpenter and surveyor which isn't helping with the confusion.

Devon / Sanders family, Hatherleigh
« on: Tuesday 23 September 25 18:43 BST (UK) »
Hi all, I'm trying to track back from my ancestor John Sanders but I'm getting confused between two families.
John Sanders was b. about 1833 in Hatherleigh and married Thomasin Fursdon in 1853. I have them on the census from 1861-1891, his rough DOB varies from 1830-33. Marriage certificate gives his father as James Sanders.
On the 1891 census there is also another John Sanders b. about 1833 in Hatherleigh.
The 1851 census has two different couples called James and Mary Sanders. One of them has a son called John. The other couple have other children, but in 1841 also have a son called John. I'm trying to establish which James and Mary I want. Can anyone help with this?

Thanks for this. It was John Sanders who married Thomasine, a baptism in December 1832 fits with the census and the rough date of birth of 1833.

Apologies, I didn't realise I'd asked this two and a half years ago! I'm still a bit unsure of the right answer.

Devon / Sanders-Fursden marriage 1853
« on: Wednesday 08 January 25 20:33 GMT (UK) »
Hi all,
I have a copy of the marriage certificate for John Sanders and Thomasin Fursden, married 05.06.1853 in Stoke Damerel. Both born about 1833 in Hatherleigh. I have census records from 1861 onwards. The marriage certificate shows their fathers as James Sanders (gardener) and James Fursden (farmer).
I'm trying to trace both families back but the only Thomasin Fursden I have found is the daughter of Thomas Fursden (ag lab). My theory is the name is wrong on the marriage certificate, and the name James was just written for both. I'm looking for any evidence to prove/disprove I have the right family.
I also have a John Sanders with father James living in Hatherleigh in 1841, but again I'm looking at a way to prove this is the right person.
