Thank you John I too feel that Charlotte SMITH baseborn dau of Jane SMITH bapt 20 Aug 1786 at Basingstoke, 'from the workhouse'.is probably mine as so many of my ancestors began and ended life in the workhouse.It feels right to me. Also the name Jane is repeated in her descendents. I have further info for the web site but will send off line.

Any > chance you may have her somewhere amongst your Smiths? Hello Maureen the Grigg family is on the website as you know but I only have Charlotte born ca 1787 I have just looked at Hants Bapt Index, which I didn't have when I first put her & Richard into the database, and I thought a good 'possible' would be the Charlotte baptised at Whitchurch on 31 May 1784 to Thomas & Sarah except neither of those two names appear in the names of descendants. The same applies to the Charlotte baptised in 1785 to John & Hannah or Charlotte baptised in 1788 to Samuel & Dinah - both at Hurstbourne Tarrant. Which leaves the Charlotte baseborn dau of Jane bapt 20 Aug 1786 at Basingstoke, 'from the workhouse'. A Jane Smith was born in Sherfield on Loddon in 1766 so right sort of age to be a mother in 1786, Her parents were Thomas & Elizabeth. The one born in Tufton in 1771 is a bit too young, but it is all a bit guesswork.. I am inclined to go with the Basingstoke Charlotte if only because history repeated itself with her daughter Charlotte having a baseborn dau Jane in 1837 The 1841 Census does say Charlotte 'born in county' so I don't think we need to look outside Hampshire. -- John Lewis Debian & the GeneWeb genealogical data server --------------------------------------- >From Kingsclere.
