Find Ancestors

Many thanks again for all your help guys, I will go over all of this with a 'fine tooth comb' . I have learned a lot from you. Not only the obvious information, but also ideas as to where I might find further information myself. I only have access to Ancestry via the local library - which is 10 nmiles away - and luse genesreunited at home. So my research is 'intermitant' at best. Many thanks.

Hi Dea
"I have no idea where Michael got 'Elaine' from though as she does not appear !!! " Elaine appears in the 1841 census listing Joseph and Hannah Stone and family - but she doesn't appear in the 1851 census - so far - so she may have left before 1851 or married.
She could be working elsewhere.

Thanks Mary - me specs must need cleaning!

That looks a much better fit Mary - where did you find it?

There are a lot of trees on Ancestry have opted for that 1810 baptism (or have copied it from each other)

This one??
Charlotte Fooks bap 27/12/1812 at Symondsbury Dorset by Robert and Charlotte Fooks.
Ann Fooks bap 9/9/1808 Symondsbury
Charles 23/1/1814 crideock
Elizabeth Stone fooks 27/7/1816 Crideock
Robert stone fooks 1/6/1823 Chideock Dorset.

The 1810 baptism in Whitchurch Canonicorum that's been attributed to Charlotte may be incorrect. She married in 1833:

Dorset, England, Marriages and Banns, 1813-1921
Name: Charlotte Fooks
Marriage or Bann Date: 12 Feb 1833
Parish: Burton Bradstock
Spouse's Name: Peter Hallett

The witnesses were Thomas Fooks and Mary Hallett.

On the original register it states they were married "with consent of parents" (that part hasn't been filled in on other marriages). Now, if she was born 1810 then she would be 23 and I would guess wouldn't need parental consent?

Also, her birthplace on census is Symondsbury, I know the two parishes are only 5 miles apart but I'm not sure now about that baptism.

Yes Reggie - It was 'supposed' to be for the over 15's but not all the enumerators seem to have understood that because I very often find that they have done the same to the children ;-)

However, having looked at the image, I note that he hasn't rounded down the ages of the other children so the 10 years on these children is probably correct and Daniel and Mary may well be twins? - I have no idea where Michael got 'Elaine' from though as she does not appear !!! :-S

Thank you to all those who have helped with this thread. I have to leave the computer at this time. If there are further comments I will answer them if I can when I next log in.

Dea - now that I did not know. I presume that practice ended after 1841? I was surprised to find tham all listed as the same age I must admit. Thank you.

The rounding-down in 1841 was supposed to be for the over-15's

Michael - ages on 1841 census were usually rounded down to the nearest 5 years so the 3 children marked as aged 10 could each be of different ages i.e. 10 or over but not yet 15 !

Reggie - I am not a fast typist - I apologise for that. I am grateful for your help. As I said , I will go over all of it from the printout later and do some careful analysis of what has been gevin to me.,

Thanks Marie Celeste - that last bit about the name Wightman could be very useful. I had thought that there was a link there because of themiddle name.

The marriage was posted at 12:11

Reggie - many thanks - I am sorry if I am unablbe to keep up with the pace of information which is coming my way. I will have to go over all of this later and analyse it . I am very grateful for all your help.

I think that three of the stone children were probably triplets. They are all listed as 10 yrs in the 1841 census, and that includes Daniel Joseph Stone, Elaine and Mary his sisters.

Are you not going to comment on the info about the Stone/Fooks marriage........and all the Stone baptisms?

Soory yes - my fault. Charlotte and Peter.
