1871 Look up in Whitchurch
« on: Friday 26 May 06 16:17 BST (UK) »

I am wondering whether someone can please do a look up for Robert and Jane KINGSBURY in Whitchurch, Hampshire in the 1871 Census.

He came from Dorset and I believe was born around 1816.

Also whether it is possible to see if there are any Jennings living in Whitchurch in 1871.

Thanking you in advance for your assistance.

Best Regards
Art Birchell.

Hi,

This looks like them,

Church Street

Robert KINGSBURY  Head  M  57  Groom Domestic Servt  Dorset Sutton Waldron
Jane                     Wife  M  56                                  Cornwall Fiskerd?

There are quite a few JENNINGs in Whitchurch, are you looking for anyone in particular?

Hi daisypetal!

Thank you so much for finding the Kingsbury's for me. This is the correct couple but alas the wife's place of birth wasn't what I was hoping for although the date of birth was spot on. Come to think of it I only have a christening in Wiltshire so maybe you've unlocked the real place of birth. This Jane was a Jennings prior to her marriage.

I'm looking for Jennings with Wiltshire or Thacham in Berkshire connections. I'm following a trail across country that leads to Whitchurch and trying to connect with relations of my 2 x gr grandfather who was born in Wiltshire but now I'm begining to believe he came from Thatcham.

William, John, Thomas are the main names, if you come across either of them in Whitchurch, preferably the oldest Jennings living there.

Once again thank you for this look up which is another piece in the puzzle my ancestors have woven.

Very Best Regards
Art Birchell.

Oops Embarrassed so sorry Sad
I must have had my eyes crossed Roll Eyes the JENNINGs I saw were in Whitchurch, but Shropshire & Devon, must have left Hampshire out of the search.

Looking again, I can see a William Jennings born 1843  Thatcham, Berkshire living as a boarder in Freefolk Manor, which is in the registration district of Whitchurch, would you like these details?

I've just found five Jennings families living in Whitchurch Hampshire in 1881 census. I've found a death of a Mary Jennings in 1879 in Whitchurch ages 79 years. Could be the mother of this William I suppose but may be from another village in the surrounding area.

From you reply, William is the only Jennings in Whitchurch am I correct? More importantly he must be connected to early Thatcham Jennings I've found at LDS.

If you have a spare moment, any help is always most appreciated.

Many thanks daisypetal!

Hi Art,

I can see this family in 1871 in Overton, which is near Whitchurch,

1871 RG10/1239 f.31 p.12 Overton

High Street

Charles DALE  Head  Mar  46  Innkeeper  Laverstock Hants
Anne     "  "   Wife   Mar  44                  Great Bookham Surrey
John Thomas JENNINGS  Brother-in-law Unm 39  Ostler            Rinkmansworth Herts
Ellen M              "  "      Sister-in-law   Unm  37 domestic servant  Thatcham Surrey
George WILSON            Brother-in-law Wid 46 Cattle Dealer       Overton Hants

I can see five JENNINGs families in 1881 Whitchurch, but only one in Hampshire, the others are in Shropshire, are they mistranscribed? or are they living in the surrounding area?

The one I can see looks like the 1871 William with a wife Fanney, and the above JENNINGs are still in Overton.

Who is the early Thatcham Jennings? and which one is your GGGrandfather? It's hard to connect them without knowing their names Smiley

Oh!!!!!

Unless I am mistaken this landlord or his wife was murdered by a Thomas Jennings. I came across this lately.

Once again, new places of birth in other counties. I have to keep everything in mind as I've followed this family the length and breadth of the UK.

My 2 x gr grandfather is John Jennings b 1818 in Wiltshire. From 1853 he's out of the way in Scotland, all accounted for.

What I'm doing is trying to find connecting family, brothers, sisters. I've found one sister in Kimpton Susannah, married name Matthews. There are a number of travelling Jennings that possibly are related to mine, moving between Devizes, Chute. Whitchurch, Andover, Newbury (Thatcham).

If one follows an old map from the 1800's one can see how they moved and the places of birth of the children provide the trail.

I don't want to waste you time, especially if you see not Wiltshire or Thatcham links amoungst the older Jennings in Hampshire.

All my Jennings were ingenious business men whether it be hawkings or running bus companies. What has come as a big surprise is that many are travelling hawkers in Wiltshire, Hampshire and Berkshire. Some census entries give Agricultural workers, next hawker.

There is this death in Whitchurch of Mary Jennings in 1879, aged 79. In 1871 she would be alive but where and is there a husband?

All the Jennings seem to connect in Whitchurch/Andover whether from Wiltshire or Berkshire.

I really appreciate what you've posted as it's all relevant and fits into a pattern and style of life. They were constantly moving back and forth. It confused me for a long time but I finding patterns.

Many thanks, any names in this area of Hampshire, will help me in my research of this family.

Best Regard

Hi Art,

I looked at the death of Mary JENNINGS age 79 in 1879 Whitchurch because I couldn't find her anywhere in Hampshire.

The ref and place given on Ancestry and FreeBMD is
Whitchurch, H   v.2e  p.637

I've looked at the scans and the image shows Whitchurch, S  v.6a p.637

6a is the ref. for Whitchurch Shropshire, 2c would be the ref. for Whitchurch, Hampshire

There is a Mary JENNINGS b.1800 living in Whitchurch Shropshire in 1871 with husband Thomas, both born Hanmer, Flintshire

Maybe that helps remove one from your search Smiley

Regards
Daisy
