Hi again all,
I've managed to find Samuel John King (1847, Sept qtr, Taunton, Somerset) with his family in 1851, 1871 and 1881. And subsequently with his wife (Betsy Jane Spinks 1853, Stratford, Essex) and children in 1891, 1901 and 1911. However I cannot for the life of me find him in 1861, nor his mother in 1841.
So, Samuel's age varies by 2 years or so across some of the censuses but birth place is consistent. Mother Jane King, is already widowed by 1851, and her age & dob varies enormously over the censuses - from 1814-1821, however birthplace is again consistent - Cowes, Isle of Wight. I thought this would make her easy to find, but apparently not. Also with the family right through to 1881 is Jane's unmarried sister Ann Chipp (1809, Cowes, Isle of Wight). But again I can't find her either. Please can anyone help me find Samuel and his family in 1841 and 1861? I suspect they may have been living in Wiltshire in 1841 as all of Samuel's siblings on the 1851 are listed as having been born in Laneham, Wilts. This may in fact be Lyneham, Wilts. Unfortunately I can't find reliable freebmd refs for any of the sibling births to help tie this up further, and I don't yet have Samuel's birth cert for father's name or previous marriage for Jane.
Any help most gratefully recieved, thanks,
