Boseley's of Bucklebury
« on: Saturday 07 July 12 23:16 BST (UK) »
Hello - I haven't used this site before so I hope this is the right process.

I am looking for information pertaining to Adam Boseley (c1817) and his father (Jonathan) - both of Bucklebury.
I am able to find Adam (quite clearly) in post 1841 census - however the 1841 census is very faint. . . I am unable to find "adam" - but there is someone transcribed as "Hiram" - which I think might be him.  He appears with a John Boseley who could well be his father. . .  however there appear to be two John/Jonathan Boseley's (1788 / 1791; one born to William and Mary the other to Henry and Fanny) . .  is there anyone who has been able to read / can read the 1841 census clearly???? 

Hoping that someone can help as I'm at a bit of a dead end.

Kind Regards
Naol    :)

That page has a lot of Bosely/Boseleys on it. Someone has entered a correction for Hiram on ancestry but have only changed the spelling of his last name not his first name. I went back to the previous page and there is a Jonathon Bosely age 50 there with a wife Maria? and others including a rachel at the top of the original page wth hiram on it.

As you say so faint and difficult to read.

 HO107/25 book 5 folio 8 page 10
FindMyPast has Jonathon, Maria and Rachel but not the names of the other two older children.
ancestry has them as
Jonathan Bosley 50, Maria 50, Richard 15, Denner 16, Rachel  11

The trees on ancestry seem to have a bit of a dilemma as some have him marrying Catherine Sarah Herbert and others Sarah Tuggey. There is a Lucy Tuggey on the same page as Adam and Catherine Sarah Herbert marriage on FreeBMD but no sarah tuggey marriage 1838-1851.

I know you probably know all this but I am just trying to get some background.
Whilst searching the 1841 the other Jonathon 1791 was in Berkshire but from memory wasn't born in the county.

The trees on ancestry also had this info and a couple had added the surname Adams to Vine.
Bpt Adam Bosley 14 Oct 1817
at Bucklebury, Berkshire   
Father Jonathan Bosley 
Mother Vine

Thank you for looking so quickly Crisane  :)

I'm still in a muddle though as I can't prove that "Hiram" is in fact "Adam".  

The head of the household where Hiram was recorded was (I think) a John Bosley and wife(?) Mary.  They appear in the 1851 census.

I know that Adam's parents were Jonathan and Vine (nee Adams!) married 1812.  Three children - Sarah 1812 / Jonathan (jnr) 1814 and Adam 1817.

The Jonathan that you found married Maria (Kimber) in 1820 - it is possible that Vine died somewhere between Adam's birth (1817) and 1820, and Jonathan remarried. . .  still doesn't link Adam/Hiram to the correct father. . . . I am in a pickle!!!  Just hoping that someone else knows something that I don't!

Kind Regards
laon :)

Where did you find Vine Adams details?   I was rather inclined to think Vines was a surname. Not that that line of searching has turned anything up yet.

The faint 1841 is definitely John and Mary both of which could have been mistranscribed I suppose and meant to be Jonathon and Mary but to get Adam as Hiram wrong also may be stretching it a bit.
This is ancestry's transcription
John Bosley 50
Mary Bosley 35
Hiram Bosley 26
William Bosley   
 ? Bosley 2

Just noticed mary is a lot younger than John and would have been 9 years old when she had Hiram. That is if the transcriber really could make out Mary's age.
 
 I will see if i can find a Hiram after 1841.   

Added: No I can't find a Hiram Bos*l*y in a census post 1841 so far.

Hi again!
 Re Vine:  There is a parish birth record for Adam to parents Jonathan and Vine.  Also found a marriage on the old IGI site for Jonathan to Vine Adams... also a birth for Vine Adams 16.5.1795 in Bucklebury to parents Adam Adams and Francis (nee Hall - I think).

As for the Hiram / Adam dilemma - I can find nothing (BMD or Census) for a Hiram Boseley / Bosley - which is why I ended up wondering, as the dociment is so faint, could the name have been mis-read by the transcribers as "Hiram" . . the last two letters do fit !!!! Wishful thinking perhaps?

Kind Regards again
Laon

Like you I can find no other reference to a Hiram Bos*l*y on censuses and FreeBMD for marriages and deaths.

Oh to have the old IGI site back :)

Sorry I couldn't be of any help.  Well at least I may have helped set your mind at rest that you aren't missing anything :)

Just a last minute thought
I wonder if there is any point in gettng in touch with the person who entered the correction to Hiram's surname on ancestry?  If they thought he really was Hiram then they may have further info.
