Can anyone help me - I am at a complete loss.

Rachel Chinnock from Ditcheat in Somerset, on the 1851 census as aged 31, therfore born 1820 ish she had a illigit. child John Chinnock 1845 and married James Corp in 1851. what I would really like to know is 'who are her parents'? All my searches have drawn a blank - any ideas?
best regards
Margaret

Hi Margaret,
I've been through the 1841 census for Ditcheat there is only one Jane Chinnock listed,her age is given as 12 though.
H0107/963/3 page 9.
Highbridge Farm,Ditcheat.
William Hatton,45,Farmer.
Eliza Hatton,20.
William Hatton,15
Jane Chinnock,12,Female Servant.

Sorry but it doesn't look like this will help you any further if she is your Jane.There are plenty of other Chinnock families listed in Ditcheat,if you find any more info,maybe I can help.
Sue.

Hello Margaret,
I'm so sorry-I've no idea why I decided to look up Jane Chinnock-put it down to my age.
I've found Rachel,but I don't think it will help you much:-
1841 HO 107/963/3
Ditcheat
Edith Bennett,60
Martha Painter,60
Rachel Chinnock,20.
They all say 'yes' to being born in  the county.No occupation is given for any of them.They all live together,but the only address given is Ditcheat.
Cheers
Sue.

Hello Sue
Thank you for the look up, I am sure that is my Rachel, true I still do not know her parents but it is good to be able to trace her back to 1841, I will keep trying
Best regards

r chinnock spinster married thomas lee 23rd may 1824 by banns

Many thanks for your reply. Can I ask where you saw the marriage record of Rachel, is it something I can look at on the internet?

Hi Margaret

Not what you're really looking for I know but thought you may find this site interesting for Ditcheat.

There are some Chinnock's on there but unfortunately no Rachel.
