Hello, I'm having trouble with the parents of my Rose PRING. Her obituary says that she was from an old Taunton family, but the census data gives her father as being born in Chippenham, Wiltshire and her mother from Broadclyst, Devon. Does anyone have access to the baptism records for Chippenham, Wiltshire? I'm looking for a baptism of a Charles or James D. PRING/RING somewhere between about 1853 and 1856. Below are the census entries for 1881 and 1901. They are the only entries that appear for the name Lily PRING/RING, but the parents names are different in both cases. Any light that can be shed on the identity of Rose's parents will be greatfully received. 1881 Census Dwelling: Castle Green Census Place: Bishops Hull, Somerset, England Source: FHL Film 1341570 PRO Ref RG11 Piece 2369 Folio 5 Page 6 Marr Age Sex Birthplace Charles RING M 28 M Chippenham, Wiltshire, England Rel: Head Occ: Farrier Frances RING M 26 F Broad Clist, Devon, England Rel: Wife Robert RING 2 M Taunton, Somerset, England Rel: Son Lily RING 2 m F Taunton, Somerset, England Rel: Daur Charles BOUNE 18 M Ilminster, Somerset, England Rel: Lodger Occ: Brewer 1901 Census Schedule Number 113, 12 Greenbrook Terr??, Taunton St James Without James D.
