Marcus Report 28 Oct 2018 16:35

Am looking into sibling of my 3x great grandfather James Walter Chiveralls 1811 - 1835.

I have details of his descendants down to myself, but it is the is the siblings I am needing help with.


All born in Tisbury, Wiltshire - Jane 1803, John 1805 - 1842, Anne 1807, George 1809, Mary 1814, Henry 1816, Elizabeth 1820, Stephen, 1823 & Elias 1827 - 1906.


I have Elizabeth marrying John Sanger in February 1842 Tisbury. Nothing else!

Can anyone please help?

Their parents are - William Chiverall 1773 - 1839 & Elizabeth Burdon 1784 - 1871.

Thanks!

On another transcription, the residence was noted as Tisbury for all the above (save John, of course),


The document info I gave for James shows the same film was repeatedly transcribed. A lookup of film 1279432 in the FS catalog gets:

Since my Aunt Betty was named Elizabeth Johnstone Greig after her gran, I was well aware that Betty was a common form of Elizabeth (as well as a name in its own right).
It's a bit more worrying there's no other records where Betty is used for your Elizabeth.
However, every record I found for my g gran shows her as Elizabeth except one - she appears as Lizzie on the 1901 census.
So I beleive Mary 1914 is the 2nd Mary, but it's your family.

Knap Farm was on Knap Lane abt 100m behind the camera in the Union Chapel pic.
On the 1887 OS map, there's also a cluster of houses around Ridge Pottery, a further 100m S of ridge.
As you can see from the OS grid ref, Knap Farm was almost 3 (3=32-29) km N of St John's
