Hi Mike Found Job for you... DONHEAD ST. MARY 1851 CENSUS, Wiltshire, H.O. 107/1849 HARRIS Job 51 Ag. Lab. Donhead, Wilts. Hester 57 Tisbury, Wilts. Here is a list of all the John Harris's born Wiltshire of approx. the right age. If any of them look likely let me know and I'll get the details on their families for you. HARRIS John 51 Ag. Labourer Coombe Bissett, Wilts. / Coombe Bissett 51(CD8) HARRIS John 56 Ag. Lab. Rolleston / Maddington 51(CD8) HARRIS John 51 Farmer 88 Acres Hornington / Durnford 51(CD8) Can't find any Stephens at all. 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

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

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

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

Hello Nikki, can you look on 1851 census to see if you can find John Harris b 1794 Stephen Harris b 1797 Job Harris b 1799 All born in Salisbury Wilts. Wilton by Salisbury i think Regards Mike

Jo can't find Joseph in 1871 but did find Mother Esther & Father Robert. 1871 RG10/3098 Esther Follows abt 1810 Bristol Wife Birmingham Warwickshire James Follows abt 1851 Bristol Son Birmingham Warwickshire Robert Follows abt 1811 London, Middlesex, England Head Birmingham Warwickshire The family weren't in Bristol in 1851 as far as I can tell. You might want to try someone with the Warwickshire discs. Nikki

Nikki Joseph Fellows born 1874 in Bristol In 1861 showing at 230 Bristol St living with mother Esther age 51, sister Eliza age 16 and brothers James age 11 and George age 14, alos at that address was Mary Harrington age 45 and a lodger Richard Fellows age 48. Can't trace any fellows above in the 1861 or 1851 census, have traced Joseph in the 1881 living in Sheffield. Any help appreciated as I have hit a brick wall Jo

Nicky The only possible that I can find at the mo is Amelia: BRISTOL, Temple (Holy Cross) 1851 Census Gloucestershire P.R.O. Reference # HO 107/1947 BODDIE Thomas 27 Soda water Maker Mells !! Matilda 26 Laundress Taunton Elizabeth 9m Bristol Temple SCHAFER Amelia Sister in Law 22 Hat Trimmer Bristol St Augustine Have you come across any alternative surname spellings that I can look for? Nikki

Thankyou Nikki. I think that is George Berryman. Regards. Alyson

Alyson Think this could be George but no sign of the parents though... CROWCOMBE 1851 CENSUS, Somerset H.O. 107/1920 BERRIMAN George 28 Ag. Lab. Crowcombe, Som. Ursula 22 Sister Crowcombe, Som. Charles Nephew 1 Crowcombe, Som. CROSS James Lodger 24 Blacksmith Crowcombe, Som. Nikki

Hi Nikki, Thanks, that's probably the right one but I can't be sure, as I've no other record of William before his marriage in 1878. The marriage certificate would give his father's name, but that wouldn't be much use in checking the census entry because it looks like his father was either living elsewhere in 1871, or was dead. I'll see if I can find anything in 1881. Best wishes, Michael

Hi I'm looking for the Schafer family in 1851. In 1841 they were in Cannings St, St Mary Redcliff,Bristol, Somerset Elizabeth b 1801 James b 1801 poss independent means Amelia b 1829 Jane b 1832 James b 1836 Harriet b 1838 Henry b 1840 The children were all born in Somerset, I'm hoping to find where James and Elizabeth were born as they were not born in Somerset. Thanks so much for your help. Nicky Th

Hi Nikki. Could you please look on 1851 Somerset census. George Berryman born c1821 Crowcombe- Somerset. His parents were John and Sarah. Would like info on parents birth details and also siblings to George. Thankyou very much. Alyson.

Michael Here is the family for William - Does this seem the right family?? I've spent ages trying to match them up to the same familyi n 1861 but have had no luck. If this isn't the right family in 1871 just let me kow & I'll get you some details of the other possibles....
