Just to add to Thelma's census records I think I've found Joseph with his parents and many siblings in Clothall. Clearly, however, both the Clothall branch and the ones Thelma found must all be related. 1851 census: Clothall, Hertfordshire 107 - Piece 1709 Folio 58 Clothall Bury Farm William SALE Head Mar 45 Farmer of 430 acres b Herts Hinxworth & wife and 6 children & governess Martha BLAXILL Servant U Nurse maid b Herts Aston & 3 other servants Clothall, Hertfordshire 107 - Piece 1709 Folio 51 Clothall Village Charles BLAXILL Head Mar 55 Farmer of 127 acres employing one labourer b Suffolk Walpole Martha BLAXILL Wife Mar 49 Farmer's wife b Northamptonshire, Brington Ann BLAXHILL Daur Un 27 Farmer's daur b Herts Bennington Nathaniel BLAXILL Son Un 24 Farmer's son b Herts Bennington Robert BLAXILL Son Un 23 Farmer's son b Herts Bennington Joseph BLAXILL Son Un 21 Farmer's son b Herts Aston Sarah BLAXILL Daur Un 20 Farmer's daur b Herts Aston James BLAXILL Son Un 17 Farmer's son b Herts Aston Richard BLAXILL Son Un 15 Farmer's son b Herts Aston George BLAXILL Son Un 11 Farmer's son b Herts Letchworth Henry BLAXILL Son Un 10 Farmer's son b Herts Clothall Mary BLAXILL Daur Un 7 Farmer's daur b Herts Clothall Elizabeth BLAXILL Daur Un 6 Farmer's daur b Herts Clothall John BLAXILL GrandSon Un 1 Farmer's son*** b Herts Weston ***The relationship column originally had 'Son' in and 'Grand' was added afterwards - presumably they didn't spot that they needed to change the occupation column as well. > Hi Joanne > > I can't help with church records I'm afraid but I have the 1851 Herts > census so I had a look for your people and found these > > Film 107/1709 Folios 158-171 Page 16 Living at Warrens Green, > Weston > Joseph Barker head mrd 52 Ag.Lab b.Weston, Herts > Sarah Barker wife do 50 Straw Plaiter do > Mary Anne dau Unm 27 do do > William son do 21 Ag.Lab do > Sarah dau Unm 18 Straw Plaiter do > George son Unm 8 Scholar do > > P20 Friends Green, Weston > Charles Blaxill head 28 Farmer 48 acres employing2 men > b.Bennington, Herts > Ann wife 25 b.Stevenage > George Watson visitor Unm 19 Groom b.Baldock, Herts > > Folio 172-192 P28 Village, Weston > John Blaxill head 25 Baker b.Bennington > Mary Howard?Blaxill wife 22 b.Weston > John son 4 do > > Film 107/1711 Folios 69-89 Page 7 Culling Hill, Bennington > Robert Blaxill head 50 Darllman?
