1861 (or earlier) lookup request for Woodgates in Tiverton
« on: Wednesday 20 April 05 21:10 BST (UK) »
In the 1871 & 1881 censuses I have found a BARNET WOODGATES living in Tiverton who could be my ggg Grandfather.  I also may have found him in the 1861 census on FreeCen but since there are no images on this site, I can't check whether the transcription is accurate.  The reference is:
RG9/1480 Tiverton, Folio:38 Page: 14

If anyone has access to images from the 1861 census I would be grateful if they could have a look at this entry and tell me what it says.

If anyone has the 1841 or 1851 censuses, this would be even better as there may be other family members recorded who could give me a lead on trying to link Barnet Woodgates with my gg Grandfather John Kerslake Woodgates who was born in Tiverton about 1817.

I'm almost sure that John was no longer in Tiverton in 1841 so I'm probably going to need parish records to confirm any possible link.  Does anyone know of a way to get information from parish records for Tiverton other than visiting the records office?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Thanks Jaki,

This does look like the same man.  In 1871 he was 83 years old and still working as a labourer and with a new wife (40 years his junior) and a 2 year old daughter!  In 1881 he's finally retired and living in an Alms House with the same wife and daughter (now 12).  Curiously he only aged 4 years between 1871 & 1881.  In both records his birthplace is down as Bampton.  He died in the June quarter of 1881, apparently aged 87.

I now need to try and go back further in the records to establish a link.  Even if he's not my ancestor he sounds like a very interesting character Smiley

Thanks again,

Allan
