Walter Jennings Heathfield 1851 to 1871

[pavane]

Hi,
I am looking for Walter Jennings in Heathfield or district. By 1881, he had married and moved to Glamorgan:
Walter   JENNINGS   Head M M   30 Gardener Heathsfield,
Somerset, England   High St   Llandaff,
But he probably wasn't married by 1871.

BTW There are at least 3 Walter Jennings born in the Milverton area between 1848 and 1851.
The other two are known to be related to me.
One moved to Exmoor and one to Wellington (Little Jurston farm).

Thanks for that.
I think this Walter is the one who moved to Wellington, but it is still very useful. The Alfred in your list is definitely my great-grandfather.

Thanks Alli,
There are the two which I already know about.
James is my great-great- grandfather, and William is his uncle who moved to Exmoor.
It is the third one I am looking for!

I have also found a Walter Jennings in Monk Nash, Glamorgan 1871 born 'Morton' which I think may be Norton.  I will post the details in case you need them.

Two servants in the household of Daniel Thomas (Farmer).  I've included another servant as he appears to be from the same area as your Walter so I wonder if they travelled to Wales for work together?

Mount Pleasant, Monk Nash, Glamorgan, 1871 

James Cornish 21 Hillfarrance, Somerset, Farm Servant 
Walter Jennings 20 Morton, Somerset, Farm Servant

RG10/5418 Folio 50 Page 12

Hope this helps

Thanks for the information. I will try to match it against what I know.

Hope I'm not too late to join in!   The Walter Jennings that you are looking for is my great grandfather!   He was indeed the Walter listed in the 1851 census as living in the Dairy House at Way House in Somerset.   Charles Jennings lived in the same Dairy House, so I would hypothesize that he is a brother to William Jennings. Walter's father.
I have the marriage certificate for Walter Jennings and Harriet Hinde in Wales, and it shows his father as William a Gardner. 
I do know of the other two Walters, one in Milverton and one in Essex, and wondered how they are connected.   "Walter" seems to have been an important family name at the time. 
I'd be interested in communicating with other Jennings.
