Hi, I am reasearching my husband's family tree and have discovered a link to Norton Bavent in Wiltshire. Does anyone have information on an Ann White (very common name I know!) who was born in Norton Bavent in 1789, married Levi Treasure and died on 21st June 1854?? Many thanks, Meg

1841 census HO107 963/14 folio 16 Stoke Farm Stoke Lane Somerset Ann Treasure 50 Farmer Levi Treasure 20 Exton Treasure 20 None born Somerset plus 2 servants adult ages (those over 15) are usually rounded down to the nearest 5 on the 1841 census. A Levi Treasure, a farmer, aged 36 born Corsley is living in Wells on the 1851 census.
The IGI which has coverage of the Norton Baven parish registers for the relevant period does not show any Ann White baptisms. It does show another White marrying in Norton Bavant around the time Ann marries Levi Treasure there.
HENRIETTA WHITE WILLIAM BATTLE Marriage: 31 JUL 1804 Norton Bavant, Wiltshire
A member submitted entry to the IGI (not taken directly from parish registers so should be treated with caution) gives this possible baptism for Henrietta.
Henrietta White Christening: 09 JAN 1780 Corsley, Wiltshire Father: Exton White Mother: Elizabeth
and
ANN WHITE Christening: 03 JUN 1788 Corsley, Wiltshire Father: EXTON WHITE Mother: EIZABETH
plus other children.
Later baptisms for Corsley which do appear on the IGI
Ann Treasure Christening: 19 DEC 1813 Corsley, Wiltshire Father: Levi Treasure Mother: Ann
Exton Treasure Christening: 19 JAN 1817 Corsley, Wiltshire Father: Levi Treasure Mother: Ann
Elizabeth Treasure Christening: 06 SEP 1818 Corsley, Wiltshire Father: Levi Treasure Mother: Anne
There is a possible will for Levi Treasure at Somerset Record Office (though there are quite a few Levi Treasures so it may not be the right one)
thanks heaps for your help. it certainly sounds like Ann (married name Treasure) in the 1841 and 1851 censuses as Levi had passed away in 1836. the christening date of 1788 certainly sounds plausible :-)
