Hello,
I am currently trying to trace the Tarrant side of my family tree, and have traced back to Alfred Tarrant, b 1846 in Swindon, or possibly Highworth.
On his birth certificate, Alfred is listed as having Henry Tarrant (job cordwainer, ie a bootmaker) and Anne Tarrant formerly Horne as parents. I can find in censuses a Henry b 1807 and Anne Tarrant b 1811 or 1807 in Highworth, with Henry as a cordwainer. However, I can find no evidence of Alfred ever living with them, throughout 1851 - 1871. I cannot find Henry and Anne's marriage, although I am guessing it is circa 1834, before their first child, Louisa, is born in 1835.
I can find an Alfred Tarrant as attending a school in Fairford, Glos, born about 1848, in 1861, which is only 8 miles from Fairford, but cannot understand why I can't see him with Henry and Anne in 1851, when he would have been around 6.
I am also stuck trying to trace Henry's parents - possibly his father is called Richard, but that is all I know.
Any help would be much appreciated.
thanks,
Emma
