Somerset / Re: Hannah Charles

Have spent some time studying the maps in the reference, though I come from Somerset.
I'd say there is no doubt about the clarity of 'Somersetshire' on the clip.
The only possibility I can see for the town/village/farm name as the POB would be Evercreech spelt as Heverchre(c)he.

"I am still puzzled by the Somerset birthplace name given in the 1851 census."

Could you send a snip with the Somerset place name on it? I can't seem to access Ancestry at the minute/see an image of the original.

Could not the two Elizabeth Keightleys simply be cousins, offspring of two brothers?

I haven't had time to study this but frequently brothers used the same names for daughters, especially if one of the grandmothers was Elizabeth.

Could be something like Crowthorp but please post a larger snip so we can see how the writer forms his letters.

There is a will for a John Gerry of Tavistock, 1650, held by the National Archives. Might be worth a look?

The marriage register says they were "both of West Hatch" but there is only one Francis baptized in West Hatch, in 1775, and he is said to be illegitimate and aged 27 (Francis Bryant) !

Unless, of course, Francis was just living/working in West Hatch before his marriage; or the vicar/curate forgot to record his baptism!

Seems like teregram31510 could have the same scenario.

In my case there is a vague possibility that one or other of the unmarried couple had been married to someone else but couldn't prove he or she had died. Perhaps abroad? The male partner always aknowledged his children since they all bore his surname, rather than hers.

In my tree I have 3 children baptised on the same day, one aged about 7, one 3  yrs and a baby of several months. Not unusual at all. Recorded as base born of the mother, since the parents weren't actually married (I still can't  find out why! My brick wall. They lived together from at least the time of this baptism (1810), had 3 more children (1812-17), but never married. The mother died in 1836).
