With regards to the findings of the yeoman....On the Wiltshire county council site...well here is the link to save any more confusion..
http://history.wiltshire.gov.uk/heritage/wills_search.php?community_in=Bramshaw

You will see Joseph Russell in this list for copies of wills.
I can't remember everything I looked at but I am sure I found that Joseph Russell had his own
manor/estate. Perhaps Thomas meant the Russell estate belonging to Joseph Russell was where he was born? Especially if Thomas's parents worked there.

I have since found a Russell Mill lane in Wiltshire.

With regards to my relatives living in Moor park...I had several generations there in the lodge. My Great Great Granddad James Green born 7 Nov 1840 and his father before him, Benjamin Green and his father before him, James Green born 22 July 1871 was born in Moor Park and worked there and he married his wife there Ann Webb who also lived there.

With regards to the tithed house with job...I am referring to my Granddad Edward Green, born 25.12.1905 in Croxley Hall Cottages, Rickmansworth. My Granddad would have a house to live in which came with his job. Also, added bit of information...yes, my granddad Edward, was a twin.

Hope this helps.

Thank you all for making me feel most welcome.

God bless.

Gill.

Hi Gill

Let's do the easy bit, first?

Re: 1841 What you are thinking of as "Not born in parish" is actually (the census column) "not born in County" ie (not even) born in Hertfordshire, often shortend to "nbic".

Ray

ps where are you, geographically?

Me...right now this second...on my sofa. lol. Hampshire.

In the book of marriages, Hertfordshire, on Thomas Goodman and Zilpah Harding's marriage info it says that Thomas Goodman bachelor is of this parish. Therefore the Thomas with Mary cannot be the same Thomas as the Thomas with Zilpah. Unless they were lying??

Hi

Re marriage "of this parish" has nothing to do with where they were born (necessarily) but where they were living at the time of the marriage.

Re census "not born in county" has nothing to do with the detail of residence at time of marriage.

Thank you Ray for your comment re the thread. Gill you are correct in saying that you are good at research. You do manage to root out some interesting stuff on the national archives. I had a feeling that I wasn't getting all that was there re Goodman. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing your findings.
