No luck from a quick search of the 1841, but a Charles Cant married Maria Spring on 25 APR 1822 in Ridgmont, Bedfordshire, according to the IGI. Also a Charles Cant was christened 26 MAR 1825, parents Charles and Maria.

Going offline soon, but I'll try again later if you don't get an answer.

Hi Gladys
I can't see them in 1841/51. Could they have died? There is a death for a Maria Cant in 1826 and 2 for a Charles Cant between 1825 and 1826 in Bedfordshire - I don't have access to the NBI except through a pay per view site where I don't have credit at the moment so can't give you full details, I'm sure someone else will be able to.
Which of their children are you following?

To find children of known parents on the IGI just complete the father - Charles, last name - Cant, mother - Maria, County - Beds, and it will throw up a list.

Burials in Ridgmont
Charles 26 March 1825 age 22
Charles age 1 on 14 Feb 1826
Maria age 22 on 10 Aug 1826

Burials as mentioned by Jan can be found on the pay per view site http://www.familyhistoryonline.net/

How sad - so what became of young William? No sign of him in Bedfordshire in 41 and no candidate I can see born Ridgmont in 51 either.

Hi,

Came back for another look, only to read the sad story above. I guess that more or less wraps it up.

There are certainly some tragedies hidden away in our ancestry. One of my direct ancestors had 5 children stillborn or died in infancy within 10 years . . . luckily a further 2 survived, but it's hard to imagine the distress and pain . . . . .

Hi mike and Jan, i wonder where William went but you never know he might turn up some time and it must have been very upsetting for the parents of five stillborn children.  I know one of my grannys died after she had her last baby, same month, there were 11 children left to be taken care of by their elder brother. Such sad lives. Sad  Thank you for your help as all ways. Gladys  Smiley

Just a final thought on this. Maybe William was adopted, either legally, or informally taken in by a friend or relation. In either case his surname may have changed. Not sure what happened about such things in those days.

Hello, Have a look at 1841 census image in Ridgmont  household in name of Spring.

HO107/6 Folio: 6 Page: 7

It is transcribed as William Hunt age 15, but the surname I think starts with a 'K' compare it to Keep further down the page, & it ends 'ant'

and he's in household headed by Samuel Spring age 30, who might well be the brother of Maria

... or am I totally wrong ....

Cheers John

John,

I think you're probably right. Good thinking, searching on the mother's maiden name.

This is a list of Springs born at Ridgmont according to a parent search on IGI:

  Father:  JOHN SPRING    Mother:  MARY  [surname shown as COX in one record]

JUDITH SPRING chr.26 APR 1801 d.25 JAN 1804
MARIA SPRING chr.24 FEB 1805
WILLIAM SPRING chr.29 MAY 1809
SAMUEL SPRING chr.22 APR 1810
MARY ANN SPRING b.10 JAN 1812  chr.29 MAR 1812
JOHN SPRING chr.04 FEB 1816 

There may be others, but there is also another Spring family a generation back with the same parent names.

My only reservation is that I couldn't find any further reference to a William Cant/Kant in subsequent records, but we all know that people can disappear without trace . . . in my own family, there is a 40 year gap in one man's life until he suddenly re-appears in 1891 as a widower, and I have no idea where he may have been in the interim.

Mike.
