Still stuck after a year Help please?

[JeannieR]

Hello Rachael

I do not know if you are aware, but on the1841 census, AbiaH Parker is living at Hope Mansel, Herefordshire.....

Richard Parker 80 (1761 ) born Herefordshire
Abiah Parker 35 (1806 ) born Herefordshire

Address. Hope Mansel. Registration District Ross

As in accordance, 1841 census ages were rounded up/down by 5 years

Hope Mansel is in the Forest of Dean, not far from Ruarden.
I cannot find any trace of William and the children

As boundaries have changed, I wonder if it might be worth asking on the Herefordshire board ?

Regards
JeannieR

Hi Jeannie, that's a different Abiah. She's still in Hope Mansell in 1851 - HO107/1976 folio 325 pg 4, looks like her age was rounded down a bit more than 5 years! She was baptised in 1794, daughter of Richard. Her death reg Abiah Parker 74 june qtr 1868 Ross vol 6a pg 278.

Thank you again for all of your help, Ive left messages also on the Forest of dean site Ive had some messages back. I will buy one of Abias children's marriage certificate when i next get paid.

Kind regards to you all

the marriage certs will not help you with the maiden name of Abia, but would give you the name and occupation of their father. You need to get one of the birth certificates to find out her maiden name. I gave you the GRO refs on your previous post and there's a link to the post in reply 1 on this post.

Whoops sorry got it wrong again!!!!! I'm not a natural at this at all, will check what you all said about the certificate before i order one. and i will let you know what her maiden name is.

Thanks
