Wiltshire / Re: Kesiah SMITH

Wow so much info thank you so much I am hoping that my brick wall has now a few cracks in it It seems that the elusive Kesiah told a few porkies about her age as on her death certificate she is listed as 104 in 1870 but as she was registered by her daughter-in-law who apparently was losing her marbles a bit as well its not suprising really.Kesiah was my late husband's 5 x gr-grandma and I'm so pleased to get a little more info Thanks once again

Wiltshire / Kesiah SMITH
« on: Monday 29 August 11 13:26 BST (UK)  »
Hi I am looking for any trace of the above as far as I can gather she was born in Wiltshire in a place called 'Evesley' ??? about 1780 her father was John Smith and her mother Repentance Smith. She was supposedly married to a James Jenkins in Portsea in or around 1814.I live in Kent and travelling is difficult for me.I have a record for her in 1820 living at Sticelet Cottage on the Isle of Wight and her husband by then is a fisherman.I have her death certificate where she is in 1870 when she died but can find little information about her at all

Hi I have received kezia's death cert and on it is stated her age of 104 and her cause of death as natural decay !!! she was registered by frances Jenkins and the place where she died as Gurnard ,Northwood.The cemetery records for Northwood go back to 1865 but there is no record of her burial there . would burial records for her be at the newport Records office .by the way its seems to be the right one as she is recorded as the widow of James Jenkins (Farmer) which would be the one who had Dukes Farm in Rew Street.

Hi its only me again I spent a bit of time sorting out some of the Jenkins tree and looking at the census info on 1841 it gives jame as 50 and his wife as 75
then 10 years later in 1851 James is 64 and his wife is 80.
I have sent off for Kezia's death certificate, and also James' one Hopefully it will say where they were when they died. neither of them were buried at Northwood cemetary I wonder if they went back to where she was apparently born in Everley in Wiltshire I will let you know when I get the certs. I had a bit of info about the Jenkins family from a distant relation who said that she understood  they at one time lived at Deborne Lodge on the Cowes/Gurnard road. its facinating how this is all building up a bit at a time .I was very lucky doing my side of the family as they more or less stayed put for about 8 generations in a small village in north east Scotland
