Thank you Kate for all you searches. I think he must have wanted to be a coal merchant but spent a lot of time doing other things!! I have several ancestors like that.

I feel the father of George Augustus is the right man and presume the baptism of Elizabeth is probably for my ancestor. And therefore the mother of my Elizabeth is Ann........


Who agrees?

I really wish I could sort out the George Augustus who was b in 1851. However, I've now realised those forenames are not as rare as I thought!

Yes, I agree Ann is probably Elizabeth's mother.
The one born in 1851 is George Augustine, isn't he?

Yes, sorry. I just wondered if he was connected, but I can't find him in 1851 and he never died or married (regardless of the spelling of his middle name!). I guess he died and the reg has gone awol.....

Maybe he just dropped his middle name.

I'm just sorting out these baps.....

Probable entry for the bap of my 2xg-grm:

Elizabeth bap 05 Dec 1830 at St Augustine-the-Less, Bristol, parents John and Ann Saunders. Abode Anchor Lane, father's occupation Servant.

siblings:

George Augustus bap 23rd Sep 1827 at St Philip & St Jacob, age 1 month, parents John and Ann Saunders. Abode St Philip, father's occupation Coal Merchant.

Mary bap 8th Feb 1829 at St. Phillip and St. Jacob, parents John and Ann Saunders. Abode St Phillip, father's occupation Brewer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~

John, Oct 1825, and Selina Ann, July 1832, are the children of a different John and Ann, this one being a mariner who is on the 1851 census with wife and daughter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~

Kate any chance you could have a look at this one on your CD, for abode and occ?? Oh, I don't know which church it is..........


James bap 25th Dec 1825 church not showing on record. Parents John and Ann Saunders.

I looked for that one yesterday but I couldn't find it on the CD index and I thought it might be a non-con, but he isn't on the non-con CD either.

I hadn't thought of that. Now I've found these:

All Sanders and all children of John and Ann:

John bap 13th Oct 1844 St Phillip and St Jacob

John bap 27th Sept 1840 ditto

Benjamin bap 14th Oct 1838 ditto

James 25th Dec 1825 ditto (probably the same one you couldn't find before when I didn't know the church!)


Kate, I hate to be a pain, but could you please check the occs and addys for these entries? I may have found the 1844 John on the 1851 census. I think John and Benjamin both died before 1841, so they could be children of the same John and Ann, though I can't see baps for their daughters, so maybe not. This 'wrong' John and Ann (not really quite old enough to be mine!) are living at St Mary's Court, Mount Pleasant Terrace St P & J, Bristol in 1841 (flax dresser) and at Russell Court, St Thomas, Bristol in 1851 (gen lab)

The CD only goes up to 1837, Merry! I'm sure I mentioned that before...

Anyway, now we know that James is listed as Sanders, I've found him, but he doesn't look likely to be one of yours - age 3 years at baptism, residence St Thomas, occupation Labourer.

That Christmas Day was a very popular one for baptisms at that church. 52 baptisms that day, and mostly they did about a dozen baptisms per week (usually all on the same day).
