help with SHOTTER family in LURGASHALL
« on: Monday 14 January 08 13:51 GMT (UK) »
James Shotter born about 1806 ( 35 years old in 1841) .In the 1841 census there is an ANN ShOTTER living with him and his family .

In the 1851 census Ann is living with James's daughter mary Ann age 21 .Ann is noted as the grandmother and born in county in about 1768 !

Does anyone have records for Lurgashall ? or have these people in their tree  Grin

I would love to know exactly when James was born and if anyone has any bright ideas about who Ann's husband was . There is a marriage for a William SHOTTER marrying Ann Kitchell 1808 but that seems too late . ideally the marriage would have been about 1798 .

Thanks for any info at all. I am doing this for friends.

Hi Debz,
There is only one marriage on the SMI of a male Shotter to an Ann but I think it's too early as Ann would have been about 18 but it's possible.  Francis Shotter of Littlehampton to Ann Poling (otp) by banns 10/8/1786 at Petworth.  The next marriage of a male Shotter to an Ann is the one you mention in 1808.  It would appear that James was born about 1805, Lurgashall as that's what he states on the 1851 census, so unless they married after his birth.... Huh
  This is his marriage;

Lurgashall, West Sussex,    9 May 1829:
James SHOTTER, bach
Mary Ann WEST, sp botp  (B)

Another possibility is this extracted baptismal record from the IGI;
James Shotter born 18/12/1800 baptised 15/1/1801 at Petworth s/o Ann Shotter, so James might be illegitimate.  Something to consider as Petworth is only 4 miles from Lurgashall.
An Ann Shotter was baptised at Petworth 13/1/1770 d/o Edmund & Anne could be something could be nothing.

Thank you very much indeed for that ....even if i cannot research further i now have definate factual info.

i shall ponder over this ....18 years of age would be ok , more normal than 40 years old !!

i do think that James was born at Lurgashall so the Petworth /Ann Shotter may not be what i'm looking ......

just remembered that on the '51 census it says ...Ann Shotter pauper to ag lab widow - it has a W in the condition column  Cheesy so she had been married !!!  Grin

Thanks you been very helpful....2 brains an' all that  Wink

Don't believe everything that's written on the census  Wink  Ann might have put the story about that she had been widowed at an early age so try & think outside the box  Wink

One avenue to explore would be to see if there was a Bastardy Order or Removal Order for Ann.  I did have a look on the W. Sussex Poor Law database on their site but I couldn't access it so had a look at A2A but nothing came up there.  Something is likely to be out there that will prove or disprove the theory, so keep looking  Cheesy

Hi Jane,

i did look at the Poor Law database but Lurgashall or petworth parish is not listed so i presume that the info is not available but thanks for that reference , i'm not au fait with the Bastardy laws etc


thanks
