Wincanton Baptism - James KIDDLE approx. 1794

[brc]

Hello,
Does anyone have access to the above baptisms for the 1790s? I would be very interested in any information on the baptism of a James KIDDLE in approx. 1794. Many thanks for any help.

Hi Brian

This one look promising, but do check FreeREG for other spellings and dates.

Hi David,
Many thanks for your reply and the info. It sounds like him. I did not think of checking FreeReg - I will get the hang of this genealogy hobby eventually. Thanks again.

Slightly of track here but I was looking at Family Trees  and most didnt have all the Children;

1841 Census
East Stower, Dorset
HO107/293/15/East Stower
James KIDDLE    46, Wheelwright
Harriett Kiddle    43
John Kiddle    19
Eliza Kiddle    15
Elizabeth Kiddle    10
Ann Kiddle    8
Silas Kiddle    6
Harriott Kiddle    1
All down as born in County

CHRISTENINGS to JAMES/HARRIET-T Kiddle

East Stower, Dorset;
WILLIAM 09 Nov 1823
ELIZABETH 23 Feb 1831
ANN 13 Oct 1833
SILAS 22 Nov 1835
CATHERINE FANNY 01 Nov 1838
HARRIET 29 March 1840

Buckhorn, Weston, Dorset;
THOMAS 19 October 1819
JAMES 18 October 1819
JOHN 17 March 1822

There is a gap 1823-1831 that I cant find any Christenings for them on Familysearch.Org.

As 1st Son is a Thomas what David found for James Parents looks likely.

EDIT James/Thomas have their Chr on Anc down as 10 Oct, image is 18th, Fathers Occp Carpenter
1861 Census James is in Wiltshire, Ocp Millwright. He Marries twice.

1841 Census WILLIAM c 1823 is with Brother THOMAS 1819 and Wife Ann in East Stower.
Thomas is a Wheelwright.
For some reason Thomas says in most Census he is born Wincanton, Somerset.

Sorry if you already have all of this Brian.

Hi Trish,
Many thanks for the reply and the information. I had found the family in the Census and also baptism records. Three things I noticed:
1. James and Thomas were both baptised on the same day in 1819 but in one entry the father is correctly stated as James but in the other (on the next page) is incorrectly stated as Thomas.
2. There is a baptism of an Eliza Ann in 1826 in E. Stour to James, a wheelwright, but the mother is stated as Maria, rather than Harriet. There is a 15 year old Eliza with James and Harriet in 1841, so I assume this is her and that the baptism record got the mother's name wrong.
3. Catharine Fanny was baptised in 1838 but just a few weeks later there is a burial record in the same church of a Catharine Fanny Kiddle, aged 8. So she was born in 1830, perhaps not baptised at the time, but they must have had her baptised in 1838 in the realisation that she was dying.

So the 1826 birth of Eliza Ann and the 1830 birth of Catharine Fanny help to fill the gap you mentioned.
Many thanks agian for your reply and your help. Very kind of you.
Regards,
Brian

James 1794 Baptism on FreeREG seems to be the only one to Thomas/Susanna

It may be that she was also known as Ann?

Baptism FRANCES Kiddle 28 Dec 1794, same Church, to THOMAS/ANN Kiddle, 

There is a THOMAS Kiddle 29 May 1765 to JAMES/ELIZABETH

A THOMAS Kiddle, Widower of Wincanton Married Sarah MARTIN, 25 Dec 1806
