    1. [ENG-SOM] Links from Dundry via Hasell, Kew & Badman, to Kewstoke & Worle
    2. T and J Barry
    3. Hi Josephine Your email of 27 October explains something. Sometime, shortly after the 1851 census, Mary Ann (née Hasell) Kew’s elder daughter Elizabeth Hasell Barnes moved to Worle where, age 15, she became nursemaid to Thomas Quinton Quick, son of Thomas Quick and Violetta Tripp. Thomas was the son of John Quick and Elizabeth Badman who was born in Kewstoke 25 or 28 Dec 1797 daughter of William Badman, bap Kewstoke 1761who married Susannah Light 19 Mar 1783 and was son of another William Badman and Mary Light who married 25 Aug 1759 St John Weston-s-Mare (not of course the same Mary Light who married Moses Kew but very possibly related). This makes your reference to the “baptism of Edward Light to Moses Harler and Mary Light KEW on 22nd. April 1821 at Kewstoke” of particular interest. It explains how Moses could have provided the link between Elizabeth Barnes and her future employer. An amusing result was that early on Elizabeth declared her intention of marrying the infant Thomas and indeed she did on 18 Jan 1872. They had 4 children one of whom was William Moses Quick who was born 20 Jun 1880 and was under 2 when he died but the other three married and had families.. Elizabeth must have been well accepted by TQQ’s family for in1861 she was living with Elizabeth née Badman who listed her in the census as niece. I used to think that this simply meant family friend but in view of Moses Kew’s Badman and Light connections they may have been related very indirectly by marriage. Incidentally, the enumerator in 1861 mixed up the birth places of the two Elizabeths. Tom

    2. I have an Elizabeth Brown born Bristol c. 1826, her father was Robert Brown, mariner. With such a name, it may not be easy, but if anyone has any suggestions on searching for her baptism I would be very pleased, assuming of course that she was baptised there. Best regards, Wendy

Hi Tom, In my previous message, I noted that Moses Harler KEW and Mary Light BADMAN were married on 3rd. April 1820 at the church of St. John the Baptist, Bristol. There is a reference to the baptism of Edward Light to Moses Harler and Mary Light KEW on 22nd. April 1821 at Kewstoke on in Mary Mason's Portbury Hundred site: http://www.portbury-hundred.co.uk/kewstokebaps1813.htm It's a pity that the baptism wasn't for a William. If so, you would know you were likely to be on the right track. Josephine

Hi Tom, Thanks for your response and for further information on the families you are researching. I've spotted a possible marriage for Moses KEW, which you may have come across already, but nothing ventured nothing gained. Moses Harler KEW and Mary Light BADMAN were married on 3rd. April 1820 at the church of St. John the Baptist, Bristol. The marriage was by banns and both were recorded as being of the parish. This marriage is included in the Marriage Index Vol 8 Diocese of Bristol 1813-1837 produced by Bristol & Avon Family History Society. www.bafhs.org.uk Josephine

    3. A big thank you to Peter and Josephine. What a good idea of yours to seek the names of Mary Ann’s father in the records of Mary Ann’s marriage to William Kew, her second husband, where you both found the name John. Moreover, Josephine found that Wlliam’s father name was Moses Kew, something else I did not know. Moses and his wife Mary had 2 pairs of twins plus another child baptised in Winford between 1827 and 1834 but the William that married Mary Ann was not one of those recorded. Judging by the subsequent censuses William was born in 1821-2 but did not seem to have a fixed idea of where he was born, so presumably Moses, a labourer, did not settle in Winford until after about 1821. Moses was buried age 42 in Winford on15 Jun 1837 indicating that he was born in 1794-5. Somewhere I have a funeral card found among the effects left by my wife’s uncle. Moreover, a son of Mary Ann’s daughter, Elizabeth, was given the names William Moses. Moses Kew was probably the son of Francis and Ann Kew because they had a son Emmanuel baptised 24 Jul 1792 as did Moses and Mary on 03 Jun 1827. However, Moses himself seems to have escaped the currently available baptism records, something of a feature of this branch of the family tree. The John that was declared to be MaryAnn’s father when she married William Kew on 9 Dec 1844 is of even greater interest. When she married for the first time at Dundry, to Thomas Barn[e]s her abode was listed as Long Ashton. This was the home in 1841 and 1851 when he was 84 of a John Hasell who was baptised in Dundry 17 May 1867. FreeReg lists his marriage to Elizabeth Williams 4 Jan 1810 and the baptisms of 3 children of farmer John Hasell: Maria 1812, John 1814, and Harriet 1816, at Littleton a hamlet at the South end of Dundry parish, where Thomas Barnes and Mary Ann later farmed. Is it possible that John was the father of Mary Ann, legitimate or not, in about 1801? He would have then have been about 34 and was buried in Dundry on15 Mar 1859 age 92. It is worth noting that even if Mary Ann was illegitimate and even if she did not know her father’s name she might have given it as John Hasell when she married William Kew in 1844. The fact found by Josephine that William KEW and Mary Ann BURNS (sic) were married on 9th. December 1844 at St. Paul's Church, Portland Square, Bristol should not be taken to mean that one of them was truly resident there. The following list of marriages of N Somerset Hasells at St Paul’s Bristol was provided by a descendant of Elizabeth Hasell and George Weaver. Some of the witnesses were the same; Mary Ann Hasell herself was a witness twice, so she was no stranger to St Pauls Bristol. I have added the data on first marriage of Mary Ann which was at Dundry. 15 Apr 1821, Maria to William Frappel 31 Aug 1822 Mary to William James 11 Aug 1823 Martha to William Chard, witnesses William Hasell and Mary Ann Hasell 19 Apr 1824 Elizabeth to George Weaver, witnesses William Hasell and Mary Ann Hasell 1 May 1837 Harriett to Joseph Pool, witnesses William Hasell and Sarah Pool 27 Mar 1826 Mary Ann Hasell to Thomas Barnes at Dundry, witnesses William Hasell and Elizabeth Weaver. Bristol marriage was common among N Somerset residents. So the popularity for weddings at St Paul’s among the Hasells is not surprising and thus the fact that Mary Ann and William Kew chose to be married there does not indicate that Mary Ann’s parents lived in Bristol. The indications that Mary Ann acted as witness at other Hasell weddings and that Elizabeth Hasell reciprocated at Mary Ann’ own marriage, the record of the death of a Samuel Weaver February ? 1822 in her prayer book and the fact that she was listed as born Dundry in all censuses strongly suggest that Mary Ann’s origins lay with Hasells living near to Dundry. Here is the list of baptisms of children of John Hasell (and sound alikes) in all villages near Dundry Baptised name father mother surname abode Father occ 05 Jul 1812 Maria John Elizabeth HASELL Littleton 04 Sep 1814 John John Elizabeth HASELL Littleton Farmer 18 Aug 1816 Harriett John Elizabeth HASELL Littleton Farmer 24 Mar 1805 Ann John Mary HASELL 04 Jan 1807 William John Mary HASELL 19 Jun 1808 John John Mary HAZELL 26 May 1811 Hester John Mary HASSELL 21 Jan 1816 Hyram John Mary HASELL B Sutton Taylor 23 Nov 1817 John John Mary HASELL Sutton Taylor 27 Feb 1820 Martha Millard John Mary HASSELL B Sutton Taylor 13 Dec 1818 Caroline John Susan HASELL Labourer If this list is extended to cover a search using FreeReg for the whole of Somerset and the search is made for Mary Hasell+ rather than John, no likely candidates for the baptism of Mary Ann Hasell with father John found. The 4 most probable candidates are as follows but some families may have escaped FreeReg. Place Birth Baptism Name Father Mother Surname Abode Long Ashton 06Apr05 05May05 Mary Samuel Elizabeth HAZELL Chew Stoke 28Dec06 Mary William Mary HAZELL Stowey 10May06 Mary Thos Esther HASEL Chew M Chew Magna 09May08 03Nov26 Mary Ann Mary HASELL Chew M All the dates are from 1800 to 1826. Samuel and Elizabeth seem promising but surely if her father were Samuel, Mary Ann would have given this name when she married William Kew. I am sorry to be so long replying, the information you provided gave me a lot to think about. Again thank you. Tom

Children aren't supposed to be baptised twice. When this appears to happen it is often the child was baptised privately because they were sickly at birth and not likely to survive. This is sometimes known as a half baptism and could be done by anyone, not just the incumbent. If the child did survive they'd be received into the Church which would complete the baptism. A private baptism might be marked as such (private or PB) and the completion marked as received sometimes with the date of the private baptism.

    1. [ENG-SOM] DOUBLE BAPTISMS
    2. I have Glamorgan ancestors some of whose children were firstly baptised around birth in the local Calvinist chapel, and again some years later in the local parish church. As the mother was a founder member of the Calvinist chapel in question, but her husband had been brought up local church, we presume he had a change of heart and had the second baptisms done. The couple are also buried separately, chapel and church, but this may have been because he was buried with his first wife in the churchyard. When I ventured into 'Ancestry' recently, I was constantly advised that my d.o.b.s and didn't match their records. Wendy

    3. To: eng-somerset-l@rootsweb.com Subject: Mary Ann Hasell born Dundry or nearby about 1801 The origins of an ancestor, Mary Ann Hasell, are unclear. She married (1) Thomas Barn(e)s 27 Mar 1826 at Dundry. Her abode was given as Long Ashton. He died 27 April 1843 and was buried at Dundry on 3 May. The 1841 census Dundry H.O.107/ 938, f6, p4 finds Thomas Barnes 35 farmer, Mary 40, Thomas 12, Elizabeth 5, Ann 6 months, Martha Chard 12 F.S. At each of the baptisms of the 3 children their mother’s forenames were given as Mary Ann. By the 1851 census HO107/ 1938, f172, p38, s160: Mary Ann had remarried: KEW William 29 Farmer 54 Acres Wolton (Walton?) Mary 49 Dundry, Som. with her daughters Elizabeth Barnes 14 and Ann Barnes 10 both born Dundry In 1861 RG9/1768 E9 F113, p19, s101 William and Mary Ann were in Chewstoke aged 39 and 59 These ages point to a birth year close to 1801 for Mary Ann. However, in a search of FreeReg for baptisms of Hasell, Hazel, Hassell etc between 1780 and 1820 it found only one possible match, the baptism of a Mary Ann in 1826(!) as follows: Baptism Somerset, Chew Magna, St Andrew, Register Number 12 Mary Ann, Female, Date of Birth 09 May 1808, Baptism Date 03 Nov 1826 Father: blank, Mother: Mary Hasell, Occupation: single woman, Abode: Chew Magna There are other Mary Hasells (etc) baptised in the parishes near Dundry but none that imply a birthdate of about 1801 and no other likely Mary Ann Hasell baptisms, whereas in her first marriage, baptisms of 3 children, the 1861 census and death age 74 in 1876q2 (FreeBMD Clutton reg. distr.), the forenames Mary Ann were always used. So the above Mary Ann seems worth considering even though her birth year is given as 1808 rather than 1801-2 as implied by the censuses and age at death. It has occurred to me that Mary, her mother, might have been very young when Mary Ann was born, perhaps 13 or 14, hence the birth date of 8 May 1808 might be substantially later than the actual birthdate. Perhaps Mary Ann could not be baptised before she was in her mid-twenties because, if actually born 1801, she would seem obviously older than implied by the 1808 date. Of course all this is pure speculation. In addition to the above records I also have other information including names of witnesses and dates recorded in a prayer book, but this email is already rather long. Some of these seem to pint to descendants of John and Betty Hasell, whose children baptised at Dundry were Thomas 1760, Mary 1764, John 1767, William 1772 and James 1776. Can SKS provide any suggestions or comments regarding the origin of Mary Ann Hasell, particularly the identity of her Mother. Tom Barry
