Have received information from David Walsh regarding the Francis line, including the family bible entries which confirm the names given earlier.

Following this information I believe I may have found the death of Rebecca Francis (wife of Thomas, mother of Rebecca Francis/Badger) and it looks like she may have lived longer than we expected.

Freebmd gives a Rebecca Francis Sept 1868 Merthyr age 88.  The family bible gives her birth as 1780.

There are too many Thomas Francis between 1840 and 1850 to determine which is our Thomas.

on the badgers front.
I have found that Edward badger bought an house near the star inn Caedraw, Picton street. on 1841 Cenus james and family are living at picton street. in 1851 census James is still living at Picton street and there is a edward badger Not spelt correctly bager and a ann living at the same address the one edward bought. Is this Ann, James sister ? it has it as Daughter.

Also found a marriage of a Edward and a MARIA bashfield married in kingswinwood 1810. There are no entries for any edward marrying an edward   open mind I think.

Are you sure that James is on your 1851 census. 
I have the 1851 census: HO107/2458 Folio 428 P45
Where the name is recorded as Bodger with:

          Rebeca, Maria, Mary & Elizabeth
          and lodger John Prior, who we believe is Elizabeths father

We have James dying in 1846.

I don't have immediate access to the 1851 census to see if Edward is a second seperate family in the house.

Ann was shown on the 1841 census as 15 years old.

I notice that the Francis family has made an appearance in this discussion.  For what it's worth, I have Francis ancestry from High Littleton and Farmborough, adjacent to Paulton.  I believe they came up from Compton Dundon , near Street.

Hi Colin

I think our Francis family are definite Pembroke folk - we do seem to have moved around a bit on this topic that started at Paulton!
