The dates of the birth and death of the Angelina Foot that is buried in the Civic Cemetary also fit in with when they were living in Dorset and fits in with the dates they had their other children. Hopefully the details around the burial might help. Cheers Steph Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

If you check on FreeREG, you will find alot of HAYSHAM baptisms there in the 1700s. Bridgwater is about 8 miles from Ashcott.

The place given on the Indices on FreeBMD are Districts, not towns. If you click on the place name, it will give a list of all the parishes (towns & villages) covered in that District. You could then (as far as possible) check the baptism /census records for each to see if you can find record for her which would give the parent's names. I've had a quick look at the Index and the entry appears to be: Allena FOOT birth registered Dec 1/4 1874 Bridport District. Checking the census records for 1881 there is an Allena FOOT aged 6 living with her parents Francis & Jemima at Shipton Gorge which is in the Bridport District, so I don't think this is the Angelina who died in Dorchester in 1877. (Further records show Allena in 1901 and her death in 1936 also) It's possible that Angelina's birth wasn't registered as it wasn't compulsory until 1885.

In order to check on parents names, you have to purchase the certificates at £9.25 each from the GRO. The information on FreeBMD is from the GRO Indices, which give you the reference numbers required to order them. See http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/ for details. Unless you find a baptism which would give the parent's names, there is no way of knowing whether this Angelina is your missing child. I see that Angelina was buried in Dorchester Civic Cemetery, you could contact Dorchester Town Council to see if there is any more information on the cemetery records. See www.dorsetforyou.com under Cemeteries / Funeral Records in the A-Z index for details on how to contact them.

Dear Richard, It is possible that the Licence & Allegation haven't survived, however the records for the Salisbury (Sarum) diocese are held at the Wiltshire Archives in Chippenham (confusingly called the Wiltshire & Swindon History Centre)- because Salisbury is in Wilts. See their website - www.wshc.eu for details of their holdings and how to obtain copies. There are many reasons for marriages to be by licence, but as the CLAVILLs were the local gentry it was probably to show their status and affluence. >From Wikipedia: 'Marriage licenses were introduced in the 14th century, to allow the usual notice period under banns to be waived, on payment of a fee and accompanied by a sworn declaration, that there was no canonical impediment to the marriage. Licenses were usually granted by an archbishop, bishop or archdeacon. There could be a number of reasons for a couple to obtain a license: they might wish to marry quickly (and avoid the three weeks' delay by the calling of banns); they might wish to marry in a parish away from their home parish; or, because a license required payment, they might choose to obtain one as a status symbol.'

And maybe a little more on this: FreeReg has the baptism in West Pennard, of George (one of the sons in 1871) with parents James and Elizabeth GILLETT. All these births are registered in Wells, and in March 1871 there is a death registration for James GILLETT aged 37 yrs, at Wells. I have not found a positive match for a marriage of James and an Elizabeth. Just another piece of the puzzle maybe. And a correction to my earlier posting - 1881 Mary E A GILLETT aged 10 yrs , born West Pennard, is in Marnhull, boarding with the schoolmistresses.

Hullo Robyn Thank you very much for your reply, I will try the Dorset Record Office in Dorchester. I think that both John Cull and Honour Clavil were of a very young age, possibly 12 or 13 years old, and their parents were classed as gentry. I am trying to obtain a copy of their Marriage Licence and allegation to determine their parentage.

Author: reiterkirk Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.england.dor.general/6251.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Thank you for your reply. I think you are right that George and Ann(e) had their very first son in 1800, born and buried in St. Marylebone, Westminster, Middlesex. 1) But George and Ann were they married in St. Marylebone? Or were they married in Ashcott, Somersetshire? I do know that George and Ann (after 1801) lived some years in Ashcott, Somersetshire. They had 4 children there. If I could find the record of their marriage (about 1798) I could probably find the father of George and the father of Ann(e). Maybe someone could help me? I guess that AnnŽs surname before married was Hemmet or Hammett (??). One of her daughters was christened Francis Hammett Haysham. Another daughter Margaret Jane married Reiter called herself Margarete Jane Hemmet Haysham Reiter. 2) Could anybody help me finding the baptismal record of Ann(e) Hammett or Hemmet (about 1777) ? Probably in Ashcott, Somersestshire or in St. Marylebone, Westminster, Middlesex. IF she were a Jew, would it then be recorded in a special place? According to HEYSHAMS OF SOUTHWESTERN ENGLAND (Hissem Family), George Haysham (1776) should - perhaps - be the son of Thomas Haysham (1742). 3) But who was Thomas Haysham? Many thanks for any help.

Hmmm. Interesting indeed. The rest of the children of that Elizabeth in 1871 are spread far and wide in 1881. Two sons are with an unmarried uncle in Fifehead - Richard SANDFORD a farmer. A daughter, Mary A E is in West Pennard, boarding with a schoolmistress. Like John, I don't see this Thomas anywhere in earlier censuses. And no sign of the older children after 1881 either. I think you would need some birth certificates of the later children to sort this lot out.

I have been researching my Great Grandmas family. Her name was Mary Angeline Foot. She lived in Jersey Channel Islands with her mum Angelina Le Goubin and her dad George Foot. George was from Mintern Magna in Dorset. He moved to Jersey and married Angelina in 1869. They had some children in Jersey and then moved back to Dorset for a while where they had a child called Richard in Chirell, Dorset. They moved back to Jersey where they had a few more children. When I found the 1911 census I found that they had a child that did not survive to adulthood. I have traced all the children they had in Jersey, so I think this child was born in Dorset. Angelina is a family name and I have found an Angeline (Angelina) Foot who is buried in the Civic cemetary in Dorchester 1877. She was 2 when she died and was born in St. Peters, Dorchester. I can't find a baptism in St. Peters and her fathers name is not included in her burial register. I have found an Angelina Foot Free BMD death index born 1875 died 1877 in Dorcehester Dorset. I have found an A*lena Foot on the free BMD index birth born end 1874 in Bridport Dorset. However none of these records are really any use until I can see them and the parents names. I don't want to pay for any records yet as it is a bit of a long shot. If any one can do a look up I would really appreciate it Many Thanks Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Ann This will be Marnhull. I would expect this is Thomas Collins Gillett birth registered Jun 1841 Sturminster district. The 1891 census shows he was born in Marnhull, although the 1851, 1861 & 1871 censuses give his place of birth as Stourton Caundle.
