Hi, I have found a lengthy news paper report of a murder in East Coker. It states that George Haine a weaver murdered his wife Mary on the 24 May 1848, they had three children, no names given only ages, one of twelve, the next one and a half, and the other five months. the neighbours were Sarah Randle, Mrs Saint, a woman named Gillingham lived three doors away, Charles Saint, Mary Randle, Eliza Bartlet, a woman named Creek, Samuel Conden a mason, who lived next door on the left- hand side, Ann Saint lived next door on the right hand side, A surgeon named Mr Hansted was called to the house, Dr Nesbit of Yeovil attended the post mortem, Mr Prideaux addressed the Jury, Mr Justice Coleridge summed up the case, George Haine was transported for life. I have more info if anyone is interested. I have a Mary A Haine ( born c 1854 East Coker) Who Married Robert Lacey c 1873 ?, Would any one know anything about these families, are they related if so I would be delighted to hear. Ann

I thought I might find the eldest child's name in the 1841 census but, although there were a few HAINs in East Coker in 1841, there was no George or Mary of an appropriate age Elizabeth Hain abt 1801 Somerset, England East Coker, Somerset Elizabeth Hain abt 1832 Somerset, England East Coker, Somerset George Hain abt 1826 Somerset, England East Coker, Somerset John Hain abt 1796 Somerset, England East Coker, Somerset John Hain abt 1826 Somerset, England East Coker, Somerset Joseph Hain abt 1825 Somerset, England East Coker, Somerset Mary Hain abt 1835 East Coker, Somerset Phillip Hain abt 1838 Somerset, England East Coker, Somerset Samson Hain abt 1830 Somerset, England East Coker, Somerset Samuel Hain abt 1826 Somerset, England East Coker, Somerset Anne South Australia Ann Ryder wrote: > Hi, > > I have found a lengthy news paper report of a murder in East Coker. > > It states that George Haine a weaver murdered his wife Mary on the 24 May > 1848, they had three children, no names given only ages, one of twelve, the > next one and a half, and the other five months. > > the neighbours were > > Sarah Randle, Mrs Saint, a woman named Gillingham lived three doors away, > Charles Saint, Mary Randle, Eliza Bartlet, a woman named Creek, Samuel > Conden a mason, who lived next door on the left- hand side, Ann Saint lived > next door on the right hand side, A surgeon named Mr Hansted was called to > the house, Dr Nesbit of Yeovil attended the post mortem, Mr Prideaux > addressed the Jury, Mr Justice Coleridge summed up the case, George Haine > was transported for life.
