Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / Re: Hampshire Burials - Clanville

Hi David,
Well, we must be fairly closely related, Letitia was my great-great grandmother.
I reckon she was baptised on 26th Aug. 1838 ( not 1843), married to Henry Dore on 23 Aug 1866 and died on 30 Sep 1930. Her first child was my great grandfather Frederick Waite for whom there were no birth/ baptismal records. He was aged 2 in the 1861 census so was born about 1858/9. At that time she was about 19 and amazingly the father Henry Dore was only about 13 being born on 9 Jul 1845. After her marriage to Henry she went on to have another son Henry born 22 Apl 1867.
I have records of her having 12 siblings including Richard who you mention, and also a George who died aged 11 having fallen down the well of the Rev. Thomas Lockton in Clanville.
It would appear Letitia never looked after her illegitimate son. According to the censuses he was living with his grandparents George & Mary (nee Green) in 1961 and then with his uncle Richard and wife Martha in the next two censuses.
George Waite was baptised on 27 Dec 1789 and married Mary Green (bap. 22 Jan 1792) on 18 Nov 1811 in Weyhill. George had 11 siblings. His father was James Waight born in Hampshire c. 1755. and died 29 Aug 1844 in Penton Mewsey. The first 3 siblings were born to Sarah who died in Sept 1785. The remainder to his second wife also Sarah (nee Wallis) She was bap. 21 Jul 1769 in Owslebury. Married James on 28 Jul 1789 in Penton Mewsey and was buried 21 Feb 1855. Her parents were William and Sarah Wallis.
I can't get back further than that but have further dates etc for siblings.
Don't hesitate to contact me for more info. It might be easier to email further details ??
If you have any info I would of course be most interested.
All best wishes
Tony
