Hi Nikki Thanks for looking. Maybe Shafer or Shaffer? Amelia is with my g g grandparents, tho I thought he was a coal haulier not a soda water maker !!!!! Also I thought Matilda was born in Bedminster. It'd be too easy if they were always consistent (nice tho) Just a thought maybe Taunton is correct. Could you look there too? Regards Nicky

Nicky Have searched all of Somerset, Gloucestershire, Bristol & Wiltshire for you with no joy. I'm assuming the index has been mistranscribed as I've tried numerous alternative spellings. Really sorry. Nikki

Mike Can't find any of them in 1851 - various John, Stephens & Job's listed but not born in the right place. Have you found any of them in 1841 or 1861? It may give me something more to go on. Nikki

Hello Nikki, the only one i've found is Job Harris on 1861 census, he's living at Middle Coombe Donhead St. Mary Wilts His date of birth says abt 1801 and he's married to Hester Regards Mike

Helen Have you managed to find any info at all on Minnie yet? Nikki

Hi Nikki Thanks so much for looking. Another elusive family in my tree! Nicky

Hello Nikki, thanks for the 51 info on Job it's much appreciated. Not sure at the moment if the John Harris's you've found are mine. I'll have to do a bit more checking. Thanks again and good luck Regards Mike

Hi, thanks for the kind offer, could you please look up a Frederick Jarvis born c. 1836 in Swallow field, Wiltshire, in the 1851 for Wilts. Many thanks cleo

Cleo Swallowfield isn't one of the enumeration districts in Wiltshire for 1851, do you know where it was near? Nikki

Helen Where did you find the info you already have? Nikki

Hi Helen The only Minnie Rachel Beebee/Beeby listed in the Birth records was born in 1884 in Brandon, Suffolk. I can't find her in 1901 but in 1891 here are her family: Source information: RG12/1576 Registration district: Thetford Sub registration district: Methwold Beeby, Evelyn S abt 1883 Brandon, Suffolk, England Daughter Brandon Suffolk Beeby, John abt 1840 Whetstone, Leicestershire, England Head Brandon Suffolk Beeby, Minnie R abt 1884 Brandon, Suffolk, England Daughter Brandon Suffolk Beeby, Susan abt 1841 London, England Wife Brandon Suffolk Buckenham, Florence K abt 1873 Brandon, Suffolk, England Stepdaughter Brandon Suffolk Most definitley not a family fromDevon! I can't find any William How(e)s listed at all from Devon. The only thing I can suggest you do is order the marriage certificate for the details I posted before. It may give you more to go on. Minnnie's name is so rare it's got to be them! If there's anything more I can help with just say. Nikki

Hi Nikki Could you look for my 'Lost' Puffett/Puffitt (both can be spelt with only 1 t) in Wilts & Somerset. Some of the family appear in Glos and Oxon on the 61 but havn't been able to find them on the 51. Many thanks Lyn

Hi Nikki sory I haven't replied sooner but domestic duties intervened. I have already got these Puffetts. but there are some others that are missing and I had hoped that you would find them in either Wilts or Somerset. The Puffett family name is very rare and so far I have been able to connect almost all that I have found to my family tree. Thank you for looking for me I hope I havn't wasted your time - If I have then please accept my sincere appologies. Thanks again for your time and effort. Lyn

Hi Thanks for looking for me on the census it said Swallowfield Wilts but I found another saying Berks, and it does seem to be there. thanks cleo
