That's correct, both born Dorset, I just cannot find them in 1861! I found him in 1871 a widow, so know she had died by then, but where were they in 1861? I think their name may have been mis-transcribed or something. Just wondered if anyone had the 1861 census for Chard and came across them.....

Re: 1871 census entry you mention.
Do I have the right entry as I can't find one in Chard in 1871
The only widower James Hammett b Tolpuddle was a bricklayer aged 59 so b 1812 and he was living in Tolpuddle. 16yr old son Samuel b Tolpuddle living with him

Carole - hi 
RG10. P. 2405 Fol 92 Pg. 63
He's the right age, and he's living in Chard ( Union Workhouse) but he's saying born Chard  
If the family stayed in Chard after the 1851 census, I wonder where Ann died, because I can't see a death in Chard

I think it is the right one and he lied about his birthplace or was ill and the Workhouse used guesswork for the census
He had lived in Chard for at least 20yrs by 1871 and there is no other James Hammett b Chard with that birthyear

Hi Folks
Many thanks for finding the census under Emmett and Ann's burial for me. Did you happen to come across a burial for James in St Mary's too? I think in some census it was just taken for granted folks came from that county etc, especially as in the workhouse. Once again many thanks.
