In the 1841 census they are in a part of parish of Kington called Lilwall. Kingswood Common (the place you suggested) is thereabouts. Their exact address is Brick Kiln which has about 17 households.

HO107/423 / Lilwall, Pembers Oak & Chickwood / folio 10 / page 14
Brick Kiln
John Bowen / 35 / Labourer / Y
Martha Bowen / 26 / / Y
Ambrose Locket / 8 / / Y
Elizabeth Bowen / 7 / / Y
Mary do / 4 / / Y
John do / 10 months / / Y
Elizabeth Minton / 65 / / Y

I just can't make out the name given for Ambrose. I'm fairly sure of Lo??et but can't find anything in the pages much like the middle letters. Initial L pretty certain, and the last letter more likely t than l (one or two other t's uncrossed, but all l's appear to be looped).

Cheers
Steve

PS Just checked the IGI:

Ambrose LOCKET bapt 01 Dec 1832, Brilley, Hereford. Mother Martha LOCKET.

PPS yet another afterthought:

John BOWEN & Martha LOCKET marr 14 Oct 1833, Kington, Hereford.

Ambrose having the "wrong" name turns out to be very handy...

Cheers

Dear Steve,

Thank you so much, this is wonderful, I had no idea that Ambrose was born a Lockett.   Great detective work I suppose its pushing it to ask who Elizabeth Minton was, can you get your crystal ball out and let me know.  Seriously though, I have Elizabeth Bowen - who I have never heard of before now, I suppose she must have died.

Thanks again Sandra.

Funny you should mention Elizabeth Minton - at first I though she was probably Martha's mother, but the Locket clues seemed to rule this out.

Of course Elizabeth could still be mother to either John or Martha if she herself had married again and so changed her name. Or perhaps an aunt?

The interesting thing is that Elizabeth should be a family member, if the census enumerator exactly followed the rules - but no guarantees on that!

The enumerators' directions include: "At the end of the names of each family draw a line thus / as in the Example. At the end of the names of the inmates in each house draw a double line thus // "

So there should be a double line between households, and a single line between families within households. Mostly they seem to have done this up to a point - eg. servants usually separated from "the family", but often not from each other.

Anyway, there is no slash between the Bowens and Elizabeth Minton - so at the least she's not ruled out as a family member.

Cheers
Steve

Thanks Steve for this useful piece of information, I am learning all the time.  Martha's mother and father were Samuel Price and Elizabeth Lockett. Martha seems to have taken the name Lockett - so when looking for a possible remarriage for Elizabeth ,I have looked under Price and Lockett to no avail.  I will have to put my thinking cap on. Thanks again for all your help. Sandra

Just a thought - did any of the above info give a birth place for John Bowen ? I'm not altogether sure whether he was born in Kington, although I know his wife was. Thanks. Smiley

The 1841 says "Y" to "Born in County?" which doesn't narrow it down much...

Your best hope is to get details of the 1851 where the full entry should give birthplace. I don't know if the index details posted by Mikey in 1st reply, mean Kington is the census place, or the birth place?

Unfortunately I can't help with 1851 as I only have the Hereford-only pieces (piece number 2492 includes Kington but is in a mostly Welsh registration district).

Steve, how does getting hold of the 1851 census work? From what you say, I take it you can get only part of the county, rather than the county as a whole, which was what I assumed would be the case.
Thanks

Re 1851 census coverage - it depends on whose product you buy. My set only covers piece numbers 1975-1981, which is also the case with some other sets I've looked at. Hopefully there is some product that covers the whole county?

Places in "Welsh" registration districts have 2xxx piece numbers eg. Kington 2492. If you need these pieces,  make sure you read the fine print (else ask the vendor) before buying! And please let me know if you find a good set with full coverage - I have Kington interests too (BAYNHAM).

Border-crossing RDs are just an extra challenge researching Hereford - apart from my Herefordshire folk actually wandering off to Wales from time to time...

BTW you can check 1851 piece numbers at National Archives catalogue search:
http://www.catalogue.nationalarchives.gov.uk/search.asp

Enter the place name, with dates 1851-1851 and department code HO107.

Thanks Steve for the info (and the warnings),  I understand now!
Is there anyone in particular in Kington from your Baynhams that is proving elusive? Whilst I'm looking at things I may stumble across something (stumble probably being the right word!) There seems such little activity on the Hereford board compared with others that's it's probably useful to keep our eyes peeled for other people's relatives as well as our own, particularly if they're from the same place.
Thanks

Hi Francesca,

I'm probably pretty right for my Kington BAYNHAMs - they have not been too hard to track down - I don't have them in 51 census, but I do in 41, 71, 81, 91, plus various hatchings matchings and dispatchings - though any extras never hurt of course...

They were plumbers, painters, glaziers, glass dealers, etc. in Bridge Street for much of the 1800's, so I have them in directories as well as census.

My g5-grandparents William BAYNHAM (b. Mansell Lacy) & Catherine GOODE (b. Yazor) moved to Pembridge in 1790s, then Kington in 1800s, with at least 2 of their 8 children (my branch stayed in the Yazor area - my biggest interest). The paint & glass business was continued by their son George, then later by his widow Susannah James LEWIS (a Kington girl).

William's sister Sarah is also my g5-grandmother (due to two 2nd cousins marrying in my ancestry) so I'm a BAYNHAM-BAYNHAM and naturally they are my favourite line.

My real mystery is William & Sarah's parents - Samuel BAYNHAM or BAINHAM, and Elizabeth WHO? - both buried at Mansell Lacy in 1773, but the backward trail currently ends with them. I must post my HEF trees on the general board when I get organised (if ever).
