Baltonsborough - Is it a parish itself?
« on: Friday 09 July 04 19:48 BST (UK) »

 :)Hi,

I don't know Somerset and have tracked down some of my husband's relatives who were born in Baltonsborough abt 1840.  His name was Edmund Marsh.  I think his father may have been Edward Marsh. 

Would anyone be able to tell me which parish records I ought to be looking for please.

Thank you

Jenny

Jenny, From the Somerset Genuki site:
""BALTONSBOROUGH, a parish in the hundred of Glaston-Twelve-Hides, in the county of Somerset, 4 miles to the S.E. of Glastonbury. Bath is its post town. It is watered by the river Brue. The living is a perpetual curacy attached to the vicarage of Butleigh, in the diocese of Bath and Wells. The church is dedicated to St. Dunstan." From The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland (1868) Transcribed by Colin Hinson © 2003"

Meg, Thanks for that information.

I am in Yorkshire so wasn't sure if Baltonsborough would be under another parish.

Hi Jenny,
I've just started collating information on Marsh family - Baltonsborough.
My wife's GG Grandfather Levi Marsh arrived Victoria 1854. His father James Marsh (1805 - 1839) had brother Edward (1800 - ). Edward I have as having m. Elizabeth with childn Elizabeth (1829) Joseph (1832) Mary (1832) Henrietta (1835) Edmund (1838) Frank (1838 ?) Simon (1840). I have nothing on Edwards line other than this .
I have recently come into contact with a relative from Edward & James brother John (1797) who also emigrated to Australia

Hello Fitz,

I think there may be a connection.  Like yourself, this family is not in my line but my husbands.  I was quite surprised when I discovered Edmund's birthplace to be Baltonsborough in Somerset, most of my husband's relatives appear to be from Yorkshire or Lincolnshire.

Edmund was born around 1836/7 calculating his age from census details.  On the IGI I have found what I think is the same family you refer to which seems to match the information I have for Edmund. 

Edmund move up the country and settled in Doncaster, Yorkshire, collecting a wife, Mary Ann, from Saltfleet in Lincolnshire along the way.  Edmund died in Doncaster in 1879.

On the 1851 census I can find what I believe to be Edmund Marsh age 14, and living in Langfordbudvilles. Also on the 1851 there is an Edward Marsh age 51, carpenter, born Baltonsborough.  He is living with wife Elizabeth, age 48, born Twerton, and children Simon and Joseph.  The family living in Wells St Cuthbert.

The only other information I have is taken from the IGI so I am not sure if it is accurate.  I think the parents of Edward Marsh born 1800 and James Marsh born 1805 are William Marsh and Joan.  They appear on the IGI with matching children.  I have discovered that there are lots and lots of Marsh's in Somerset and began to get confused.

This is pretty much all I know.  I keep coming back to this line periodically to see if I can find more information and get a little further back.

If you have any other information that would help I would like to hear from you. If you think there is a connection then you are the first "overseas" relative I have found for my husband.  There seems to be lots of them in my tree. 

If you want more information on Edmund, ie children, places etc please let me know.

Regards

Jenny

Dear Jenny,
Your details fit mine.
A relative of my wife obtained copies of extracts from the Baltonsborough Parish Records.
I have been over them and with some assumptions, have put together a Marsh line back to a Thomas Marsh (bt. 1667). My wife' relative gave up as it was too confusing - so I'm awaiting her opinion of what I put together.
I have your Edward child of William & Jane. Their Childrn: Jane (Dec. 1795) m. 08-11-1813 Joseph Symes
John (Dec. 1797) m. 23-06-1822 Elizabeth Brook (Emig. aus
Edward (Aug. 1800) m. Elizabeth
Richard (May 1802 - Bur. May 1803)
Elizabeth (May 1804 - Bur. June 1805)
James (Dec. 1805 - 26-01-1839) m 29-05-1832 Mary Edwards (our line)
Betty (Aug. 1807) m. 29-12-1836 James Whebby (of Long Burton)
Joseph (April 1811 - Bur. 03-01-1813 aged 1 1/2)
Joseph (28-06-1815) m. 21-04-1845 Judith Hodges ((have a child Julius Aquilla (22-03-1846))

Hope this helps. We are very much reliant on assistance from over your way.

Love to get your info,
Fitz

Hello again Fitz,

It looks as though you could actually help me more than I can help you. I would be very interested to see the information you have collated from the Baltonsborough parish records.

This is what I know:

I have the same family for William Marsh and Jane (I thought her name was Joan).  I have made a rough guess of birthdates at around 1775.  I have all the same children you mention, apart from I only have the first Joseph.

The information I have on Edward is sketchy but here goes:
Children of Edward Marsh and Elizabeth. Taken from the IGI
Mary born abt 1832
Joseph born abt 1832 (maybe twins or just christened together)
Henrietta 1835
Edmund 1836/7
Frank 1838
Simon 1841.
