I have just come across these posts and it has solved a puzzle. My great aunt mentioned an uncle killed in a submarine. Her mother was Rose Stainer (who married Walter Wareham) and I now know that this is Richard William G Stainer, Rose's brother.

I have a family history website with Stainer information on it at -

http://www.southwilts.com/site/My-family-history-by-Mark-Wareham/

see under Wareham family and then on the spreadsheet on the tab 'S' for Stainer.

Hi coz,

Harriet is my gurt x 5 grandmother through her daugher Sarah who married George Burt in Fotnhill Gifford in 1841.

The brilliant thing that I have just discovered is that I now live in a part of Salisbury that overlooks where William Vincent died in 1863, when he was staying with his son George. And between 1989 and 1992 I was living in Brown St in Salisbury which is just round the corner from St Anne Street where he died.

I also once stood for an election in Fonthill, before I even knew that I had Vincent ancestors from the area.

You've gotta love family history.

Evidence now found. 1863 will of William Vincent, gardener, of Salisbury and formerly of Fonthill Gifford refers to his daughter Harriet and three sons and other daughters.

Going to transcribe the will and post on my website.

Hello again,

Apologies. This post forced me to go back and re-examine my evidence and I now realise that I did get the wrong lineage.

Harriet was almost certainly not that Charlotee who was baptied in 1799 but was in fact the first daughter of the marriage of William Vincent and Ann Gilbert at Gifford in January 1800. Harriet was then baptised in May 1800 and the reason why this can be safely assumed to be Harriet's parents is because Harriet used almost all the same names for many of her children with James Trew and William Burt as did William and Ann Vincent - eg Sophia, Priscilla, Ann, Elizabeth and Jane. Almost certainly more than a coincidence and without further proof the best evidence to go on..

Hi,

I have done a large amount of work on the Vincents of Fonthill Gifford and can also confirm that Harriet True who married William Burt was originally Harriet Vincent. Harriet is my x 5 great grandmother through her marriage to her first husband James True who was buried 19/10/1823 aged 26.

Harriet was born about 1800/1801 according to the census records, marriage and her burial in 1889 when she was aged 87. As the poster above says the bishop transcripts states, this links with the record in the bishops transcript on 4th May 1800 of a baptism of a Harriet Vincent. I believe that this links to the baptism in the parish register on the very same day of 'Charlotte daughter of James and Susannah Vincent'. This is too much of a coincidence and is the only baptism that fits.

I have then done the Vincent lines back a few generations and the line of Susannah Macey who married James Vincent in 1797.

Cheers

Hello Wendy,

Just to let you know that the Philips line from Anne that married John Marshman in 1680 opens an interesting line. Anne's parents were Richard Philips and Mary Hicks and they married in Croscombe in 1638.

I think Mary Hicks comes from the Hicks family of neighbouring Dinder (there are no Hicks burials around that time or records in the 1641 Protestation Returns in Croscombe). IGI records a baptism of Mary to John Hicks in 1605 in Dinder and John was the son of a Jeffrey Hickes  who left a will in 1611 (national archives).

The Hickes are interesting because I think they were quite well off and held land in Dinder, including I think the land on which Dinder House was later built by the Somerville family.

The Hickes were linked to Westbury in Wiltshire and intermarried with the Styleman family and the Styleman family have a pedigree in the 17th century Wiltshire Visitations.

Not completely proven yet but interesting for further research.

Yes I also checked Pylle because I saw that there were a few there. But no Sarah baptised after 1777.

That's two parishes then!

Few others to try.

Yes I think Hanham and Hannam are the same. Particularly where it was before widespread literacy and it was the parish clerk interpreting the spoken name. I've seen my family name written as Warram in some registers in the 18th century whilst it is Wareham.

Yeh. I expect she is round and about. Will just need trawling surrounding parishes and see if the information exists somewhere. In teh meantime I think there is a good chance she descends from the Hanhams that were in Croscombe in the 17th century.
