REDMAN in Speen

[Kay99]

Was the 1871 record I posted Millicent with new husband?

Edit - As below

1871 Living in Edgebaston Birmingham and listed as born in Salisbury?

John R Poutney    57 Leather Merchant b Warwick
Millicent Poutney 61 b Salisbury Wiltshire
Mary Ann Dawson 23 Servant
Hannah Pritchard 19Servant

I wonder if the ages are incorrect in the 1881 census and this is the couple living at 322, Bristol Road, Edgbaston.  I think the probate granted when John died in 1888 lists his last address as Bristol Road.

Oops!
Sorry Kay! I see you already posted this early on.
In my defence, can I just say it was on the other page of posts!


However, I can add that her father was John Redman!

This is possibly her; the "R" in John's name is definite there, where other records have "K" (for "Kieves", "Keeves" - but with an "R" it doesn't sound any less probable). A bigger constraint is her age as given - 61 in 1871; great^2 grandfather was born in 1822/23.

That certainly looks promising, and moves her age at great^2 grandfather's birth to less awkward numbers. Although she would have to have been a bit coy about her age in later life. 

Thanks Trish, and to everyone else too. One further question though: in genealogical circles are we content to rest on familysearch results, or should we get a direct image or transcription from the parish registers? I ask as the PRs are 16,000 km away. Might be a researcher near Salisbury perhaps?

Hi Dale,

I think you are slightly closer to the PRs than I am. However, you may wish to contact the Wilts-OPC
who have an on-line parish clerk for Salisbury St.Martin, Wilts at this address;

http://www.wiltshire-opc.org.uk/genealogy/

If you register (its free) you can log in and access the parish directory and look to see if a certain Wilts parish has an on-line clerk and contact that person.

In this case only  the "St.Martin's"  registers for marriages have been transcribed, which is shown if you scroll to the bottom of the page and highlighted in green.

This marriage entry may be of some help;
St.Martin's, Salisbury.
26-9-1799 John Redman (of the parish of Hanley, Dorset) - m - Elizabeth Smith, sp.

If you find you have many baptisms, marriages & burials in Wilts you might like to see if the Wilts Family History Society have produced them on CD;

As a disclaimer; I'm not associated with either organisation only a customer.

Hope this helps
