The Mary Critchell baptised in 1800 certainly could be mine, except that she says she was born in Bridport on all censuses 1851/1861. The age and the parents are right so it's more than likely that it is her.

In 1871, John Cornish, aged 69, is living with a different wife - Maria, aged 51 ( the original Mary was a year older than John, not eighteen years younger).

I shall look for the death of Mary and John's remarriage.

Hi, this is indeed complicated but very thrilling to me as it's opened up a whole new branch or two.

Firstly, I hadn't seen the 1841 census and will look at that later on today, BUT in the 1861 it definitely says Sarah Critchell, unmarried, servant aged 23, born Bridport. Does she tie in with any of your Sarah's? (The Sarah Critchell of John and Ann was baptised in Bridport 1825, so that makes her older than this one. We may yet find another of the right age.)

At the moment I'm on the IGI pages and looking at the Barrack Street Independent parish records, where there are a ton of Cornish baptisms, and I'm sorting them into their respective families. I already found a few more children of John Cornish and Mary Critchell including "Samuel Critchell Cornish" born 1823. I'll keep you posted.

The IGI has a Sarah Critchell born 1836/37 in Bridport, daughter of John C. and Ann Gale. Is it possible that the one you have found in 1825 was another child of the same parents, who died young. Names were very often re-used in these circumstances.

I can't find Sarah in 1841. John and Ann are there with other offspring, but no Sarah. It is possible that she was:

a) staying with other family members and they have put her down under a different name, or they thought her parents would put her name on theirs so they didn't bother.
or
b) they just missed her off. It is not at all unheard of for someone to be missing from a census.

In 1851, John, Ann and family, including Sarah, aged 13, are entered as Crittchill and all together in Bridport.

I am assuming that John Critchell was the brother of Mary, who married John Cornish and that Sarah, aged 23 and living with them in 1861, is therefore Mary Cornish's neice.

We will just have to keep working on this one.

Hi,

I saw this one too but I don't think it is the same Sarah as the one we have living in the Cornish household in 1861.

In 1851, there are two Sarah Critchells in the Bridport area, the one you have just pointed out and the one whom I mentioned earlier, in which the family is listed as Crittchill but has Sarah much closer in age to the one born 1836/37( to John and Ann) and to the 23 year old in the Cornish household ten years later.

Living where I do, there wouldn't be a problem identifying someone with Critchell as a surname but plainly they were fairly thick on the ground in Dorset!

Cheers,

Jen

All extremely interesting - and many thanks. this is a work in progress. One quick question...

Earlier when browsing the census for John Critchell and Ann, I found them in Bridport in 1841. I noticed that two doors down is the Gale family, and now I know (as you point out) John's wife was Ann nee Gale. I think it might be her brother John Gale and family.

Living with that Gale family is a 67-year old called (I think, handwriting is not clear) Jane Cornick. She is said to be a "servant" but more likely to be a nanny or member of the family acting as housekeeper I feel.

Anyway, I wondered at the time whether this was an earlier spelling of Cornish, but I laid it to one side. Today on IGI amongst the baptisms in Bridport I found several for variations of Corneck/Cornick etc.

So it's just an idle thought. Had you come across these variations for Cornish?

I haven't but then I have to admit that I haven't spent a great deal of time on the Cornish family.

I think I said that this is my partner's family. As well as my own tree and his, I am researching the families of several friends so there are times when our own lines are neglected whilst I am busy with someone else. At the moment I am supposed to be putting my files in order for one of the friends, whose 50th birthday is this weekend. But I am very good at being sidetracked when anything interesting turns up!

Let me know if anything else comes to light.

Cheers,

Jen

Hi,

Thanks, I have used the online parish clerk for Dorset and have also found it very useful for various other peoples' ancestors, whom I am researching.

I do suspect that Cornish/ Cornick and Corneck may well have been pretty much interchangeable which does make life a bit more tricky.

Regards,

Jen

Hi Jen' & others !

I'm new to the whole RootsChat experience and am finding it a valuable resource !
I too have CRITCHELLs in Dorset .
John (b abt 1815 , Upwey) and Ann (nee Tizard ? b abt 1808 , Maiden Newton) .
Daughters Unity ( b March 1838 , Radipole or Upwey) , Sarah (b abt 1840 , Upwey) & son George ( b abt 1844 , Upwey)
John was a gardener & Ann a School Mistress . Found them in 1851 & '61 Census' .
Unity ( sometime transcribed as Vanity or even Eunice !) married in Westbury-on-Trym in 1864 to widower Samuel Jackson from Nantwich who apparently fell in love with her when he saw a picture of her ( How ? Where ? I don't know !)
They had 8 children together , their 2nd child Harry Ernest JACKSON (B 1866 m 1892 d 1944) was my Grt-Grandfather.

If anyone else has any connections with these I'd be happy to share other info .

Cheers
Andy
