Champion family

[piddington]

Thomas Charles or Charles Thomas Champion and family. Thomas was born abt 1806 most likely in Odiham, Hampshire. I think he is the son of James Champion and Sarah Purdue but cant find a record of birth. His wifes 1st name was Ann need last name for her and marriage. 1st child born about 1836 dont know where. The children born after 1845 were born Averstoke, Hampshire.  Thomas and Ann are my ggg grandparents so any help to bridge this gap would really help.

Do you have them on any census ?  What were the names of the children ?

[Little Nell]

James Champion m Sarah Purdue in Odiham 25 Sep 1807 NB both widowed

This may the first marriage and his wife's death:

James Champion  m Elizabeth Taylor  in Odiham 25 Jul 1784
Elizabeth Champion buried in Odiham 1 Aug 1802 aged 44

Children of James & Elizabeth, baptism dates in Odiham

John 31 Jul 1785
William 4 Nov 1787
Mary 3 Oct 1790
Jane 5 Jul 1793
Martha 5 May 1799

Children of James & Sarah, baptism dates in Odiham

Thomas 25 Oct 1807
Sarah 27 Jul 1810       

The only marriage for a Thomas Champion that I can find and that might fit is this one:

Thomas Champion married Mary Ann Cook  15 Feb 1830, St Mary Portsea   

But then I don't see any children in the area, so I'm not convinced at the moment.  The names of the early children may help.
