Many thanks for the info Jon, much appreciated Ann Ann I need to contradict my earlier post. The references to Stourton Caundle should be ignored, this appears to be a different Thomas Gillett, not Thomas Collins Gillett (this Thomas is married to Elisheba Bullock born Holwell, baptized Glanvilles Wootton). At the moment I cannot positively locate your Thomas Gillett (from Marnhull) in a census earlier than 1881. However, in 1871 I can find an Elizabeth Gillet from Fifehead living in West Pennard, Somerset with a son Thomas, age and place of birth as in 1881, but she is listed as a Widow, which is a bit concerning, even confusing. Jon Baker -----Original Message----- Hi list, I have a Thomas Gillett on the 1881 census, saying born c 1842, Mainhill,Dorset. His wife, Elizabeth, whose maiden surname I have yet to discover says she was born Fifehead Magdaline c1837. Could SKS please tell me where Mainhill is or was, Many thanks Ann *************************************** When replying to this message, please spare a thought for your fellow list members, and anyone searching the archives in the future.
