Hello Bonnie - if you don't have the 1841 census reference: St Mary Magdalen, Bermondsey 7 Totford Place, Deckinger? Road Charles STEWART 20 Wool stapler Mary Ann 20 Ann 2 George 1 month All except George listed as not born in county. There is a William NASH aged 65 Labourer, living in Wilton (Mary Ann's birthplace?) in 1841 with daughters Caroline 20 and Susannah 15. Appears to be widowed although mhas a wife Mary in 1851. His birthplace listed as Ditchampton. According to IGI Caroline and Susannah are the daughters of William and Mary NASH. There are STUART/STEWARTs in Hampshire but could not see a likely George. IGI has a George and Ann STUART baptising several children in the timeframe but no Charles. Hope this adds a little - apologies if you have all this already.

Thanks Patsy for the information on my Stewart/Stuart Family and also the Nash Information. I had just found them in the census just a couple of days before you posted. There is a Charles Stewart who died in 1854 in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, and who I highly suspect could be my GGG Grandfather. In an earlier post I mentioned that the family was last living in Trowbridge in 1851, then later his wife Mary Ann married William Nash in 1855 in Melksham, Wiltshire. I wrote to the Wiltshire.gov.uk to see about who might be the informant and she wrote back to me saying it was a coroner's case so there wouldn't be an informant. Does anybody know how one might go about getting a copy of the Coroner's report, or what it might contain that could prove this could be my GGG Grandfather. I was also wondering if their are any online indexes to cemeteries in the Trowbridge area. Thank You. Bonnie James USA
