Hello It would be neat if we could make a connection! Shadrach Jenkins is my gggrandfather and came from Bream but that is all I know at the moment as fact. I am trying to get a hold of some ideas to follow for further research. I outline one in my email. I agree that George the lodger is a safer bet for you but if he is 20 then he won't be a brother to Shadrach unless he is a twin. He could well be a cousin. There were a lot of Jenkins in Woodside Bream at the time. Thanks for your info, if I can make a link with any of them I'll let you know, Thanks again Janet Howell ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Wilding" <john.wilding1@btinternet.com> To: "Janet Singleton" <Hywel@risinsun.co.uk> Sent: Monday, May 31, 2004 8:35 AM Subject: Re: [FoD] JENKINS / DAVIES > Hello Janet > > Your message has struck a few chords with me - Caroline Baldwin was my > GGGrandmother!! > > I believe that she married George Jenkins who was 20 on the 1851 census and > shown to have been born in Bath.
