Hello everyone, My 3x great-grandmother Tabitha LILES was born c. 1823 in Marshfield, Gloucestershire. I do not know who her parents were as I do not have details of her baptism. They may have been Samuel LILES and Sarah SANSBURY who married at West Littleton on 28th. October 1811 or they may have been Moses LILES and Susannah DOVEY who were married at Marshfield on 28th. June 1819. Tabitha had a brother Thomas LILES who was born at Marshfield either c.1815 or c.1816. Two different transcripts of the 1851 Wiltshire census give his age in 1851, when he was living at Monkton Farleigh, as 30 or 36. If he was 30, then either of the couples above could have been his parents. If he was 36, then Samuel and Sarah may be the likely ones. Tabitha and Thomas may have had a sister, Prudence LILES. A 7-year-old child with this name was buried at Marshfield on 1st. July 1832. Tabitha named one of her daughters Prudence. Tabitha LILES married William HANCOCK in the 1840s, but I haven't been able to find their marriage. At the beginning of their married life they lived at Oakridge Lynch, Bisley, Gloucestershire, but after that they lived at Oldland, Bitton, Gloucestershire. I have LILES information from transcripts of the 1851 and 1881 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire censuses and the Monkton Farleigh baptisms of Thomas's children from the Vital Records Index. Does anyone have any further information on the LILES family of Marshfield, Gloucestershire, please?
