Hi Mike I looked up Henry and his family to refresh my memory. 12 children in the family. First 5 were baptised, didn't find a baptism for the 6th. Henry, the 7th, baptised when he was 5, and at least 3 years before he entered the workhouse. Didn't find any baptisms for next 4, the 12th born in May 1845, baptised in July and buried in Jan...the same day as her father who died when 'cliff fell on him at the old works'. Ruth was 8 months and ' buried in the same coffin with her father.' Interesting little notes you find when reading the actual register. The mother was buried the day the 12th child, Ruth, was baptised. I expect that Henry and the now youngest child Nicholas entered the work house after their father's death. Using the TNA site you told us about I found a reference in a letter dated 18 Feb 1852 to Nicholas Latcham age 10 fit for employment. An unexpected mention of Nicholas Thank you again for mention of the TNA site. By the way there has been a lenghty discussion on another group re baptisms and fees. The vicar was not supposed to charge for a baptism. Perhaps some did but it was against church rules. Perhaps some families just didn't really care whether or not their children were baptised and every now and then would be prodded into taking them to church and having any unbaptised children 'done'.

I'd only taken a brief look in the 1881 census, using my 1881 Southwestern census CD, because I have to do complicated things to get at it on this computer, which in some ways is as wayward as my old Acorn. > If you don't find them in 1851 in Wales either, have you considered > County Durham? No, I hadn't got as far as thinking that. Wales sprang into my mind first. I did look in the 1851 Glamorgan census, which I have on CD, and saw a lot of people with the surname JOSEPH there, but no Benjamin JOSEPH. > I have coal mining ancestors from the Bitton area who went north to > Durham.

Hi Jan, Thanks very much for looking in the 1851 census for me. The husband's first name and wife's first names were right and their approximate birth years could have fitted with their baptisms. (Benjamin JOSEPH was baptized in 1827 and Caroline WOODBRIDGE was baptized in 1830.) But as you say, the clear writing of JEFFERIS indicates that the Mangotsfield couple isn't the Bedminster couple for whom I am looking. Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com

I am still on the track of the Bristol family of my Australian correspondent. Benjamin Foord JOSEPH, son, of John and Hannah, was baptized on 23rd. December 1827 at Bedminster. Abode was Bedminster Down and father's occupation was hawker. (Earlier baptisms for his sisters, Caroline and Jane, at the church of St. Philip & Jacob, Bristol, give the information that the father was a pedlar and the abode was St. Philip.) Benjamin JOSEPH and Caroline WOODBRIDGE were married on 16th. December 1848 in Bristol. It's likely that Benjamin was a coal miner. I have been looking for Benjamin and Caroline in Bedminster in Gordon Beavington's 1851 census transcription, but have drawn a blank. Could they be in Wales at this time? Can anyone find them in the 1851 census, please? Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com

The birth of Emily Jane KANE was registered in the March quarter of 1863 at Clifton. The marriage of William KANE and Eliza ASHFORD was registered in the September quarter of 1860 at Clifton. There's a likely match for Eliza ASHFORD in the 1851 Somerset census, which shows her living in Ditcheat. Then, she was a 9-year-old silk spinner in the household of Henry and Mary Ann ASHFORD. Henry, 56, was a pauper pig and cattle jobber, while Mary Ann was a straw bonnet maker. Others in the household were Henry, 18, an agricultural labourer and 12-year-old Mary Ann, a silk spinner. All were born in Ditcheat. Eliza ASHFORD, daughter of Henry and Mary Anne ASHFORD, was baptized on 27th. June 1841 at the church of St. Mary Magdalene, Ditcheat, Somerset. Abode was Wraxall and father's occupation was labourer. A possible marriage for the parents is that of Henry ASHFORD, bachelor, and Mary Ann FURZE, spinster, which took place on 25th. December 1826 at the church of St. Peter and St. Paul, Shepton Mallet, Somerset. This shows how a reply to a question on list can lead to lots of other information.

Hello Josephine Although I also can't find Benjamin Joseph in the Gordon Beavington 1851 census for Bristol, I note from familysearch.org that Benjamin Joseph married Caroline Woodbridge at the church of St Thomas, Bristol on 16.12.1848. His father was quoted as John Joseph and her father was quoted as Thomas Woodbridge. I also note that the Woodbridges lived a couple of doors away from Benjamin Joseph in the 1881 census at Bedminster Down. I'm not sure whether you already knew this about the families. If you don't find them in 1851 in Wales either, have you considered County Durham? I have coal mining ancestors from the Bitton area who went north to Durham. I also have ancestors who emigrated to Australia in the gold rush in the 1850s and who returned to Bitton by the 1881 census. Just a thought. Bernice

Hi Edna, I'm going to need that good memory, more and more, as my other half hasn't retrieved everything in my Acorn's archive, yet. The good thing is that much of our correspondence is in the B & S archives. I'll just have to remember key words to find what I've written over the last decade. Our B & S Barleyfields correspondence, which led the Australian researcher to me, and Marion's census information about the SMITH and KANE family has led me to 14-year-old William KANE in Dauntsey in the 1851 Wiltshire census and 10-year-old Eliza ASHFORD in Ditcheat in the 1851 Somerset census. The Barleyfields link was because my Australian correspondent has a school prize given to one of her relatives, Edgar SMITH, in 1909. Sadly, within a decade, he and his twin brother, Thomas, lost their lives in the Great War. Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com

Hi Josephine I have had no luck finding them in 1881 as yet. There do not appear to be any likely Hannah Eliza's with parents Thomas and Emily.

I am trying to help an Australian correspondent with her Bristol families. The marriage of Thomas SMITH and Emily Jane KANE was registered in the March quarter of 1879 in Bristol.
