Dorset Completed Look up Requests / Re: Esther or Hester Harding born C1820 Wareham Dorset
« on: Tuesday 30 April 19 17:33 BST (UK)  »
Well thanks a million Rose, Millipede and Annette.  I should have known Hardy was a very likely name especially in Dorset.  Also from previous experience when a name is pronounced with the local dialect it often sounds slightly different.  I noticed there is also two spellings of Esther’s married name Dash and Daysh in the census.  That’s given me a lot more to work on for my son’s and partners family.

The stupid thing is I did so much work yesterday, now I can’t locate a lot of it, feeling confused.  I am sure I will find it if not I will go over it again.

Cheers

Dorset Completed Look up Requests / Esther or Hester Harding born C1820 Wareham Dorset
« on: Monday 29 April 19 15:52 BST (UK)  »
I have Hit a brick wall with Esther Harding.  According to census she was born 1820 in Wareham Dorset and I am looking for the name of her father/mother.

She married Harry Dash and moved to Portsea, Hampshire  Where she remained until her death in 1918.  I have all her census records and marriage, though father of the bride is not mentioned in the online record.

Does anyone have access to church records for Wareham?

Thanks

Yes it is before and after William was married.  It's easier tracing the men, except for Henry.  I guess after Henry died the children were given the heave ho and told to go out and get work, but none stayed with Mary which may mean that she also died. The mind boggles. ???

I have only followed William and Mary both of whom lived in Pontlottyn, Glam  or Rhymney, Monmouthshire respectively. They both show up on the 1891 and 1901 1911 census.   I have not found the marriage of Sarah Ann R Miles known as Annie to the family nor Emma (something tells me that Emma may have died young).  So far I have not found Mary Miles nee Mathews in 1891 census.
I am sure gradually the pieces will come together.  Its a bit like a jigsaw.

Thank you for your reply.  I have thought about that,  I think it is probably unlikely as women had zero security if unwed and not many rights if they were at that time.  I doubt somehow that she would have five children, but nothing would surprise me.

Thanks for finding the birth registrations for Henry and Mary Miles children.  I had seen Williams entry of marriage with the note that Henry was deceased this would have been some time between Emma's birth and Williams marriage.

I have been searching and so far have not found Henry Miles marriage to Mary Mathews or Matthews.  Neither have I found Henry’s birth.  I am erring on the side of Stanton St Quinton as a village where he was born.  Someone has shown up on my DNA contacts as a very distant Miles relative with Miles from Stanton St Quinton, though Henry is not on his tree.

A big positive has been accessing the Mathews side of the family and another surname Meredith.  thanks for your input.

Regards Vik

Well there seems to be several Stantons in Wiltshire, that's what's causing the confusion.  I went through the pages of the 1851 Census for Stanton St Quinton and there are a shedload of Miles families there, but I missed seeing Henry's name.

Now that someone (avm 228) on this forum has kindly found for me the maiden name of Henry's wife Mary hopefully I can get hold of the marriage certificate and get his father's name..

Woohoo progress.  Another name to research.
Thanks a million

I am trying locate any useful information about Henry Miles my GGGrandfather according to a 1881 census he was born in 1846 in Stanton Wiltshire.  As I am not very familiar with Wiltshire I am wondering which Stanton it is likely to be.  For some reason this ancestor is proving most elusive in my searches.  Any pointers and help would be very gratefully received.  I don’t know his father’s name as yet he moved to South Wales Glamorganshire/Monmouthshire.

Carmarthenshire / Re: William Davies b.1794 Llangeler
« on: Monday 10 August 15 08:47 BST (UK)  »
I found it in Dyfed marriages.  I need to get it verified  as it only gave their names and places they were from but as it listed William from Llangeler and Ann from Henllan it is a fairly good chance it is them, I will have to get sight of the original or an exact copy of it as I know from census their years of birth.
