Do you know Tiggi if the Barrington Buckland's were a family group within the Buckland clan? Or did the authorities sometimes just ignore the Barrington bit?

[tiggi]

Not sure what you mean by your question? but these are part of the Buckland clan if you want to use that word .. lol
How the Barrington became used I cannot say, I don't know ... unless it is as some families ,not just travelling ones..did back then a surname of a previous ancester maybe?
The problem with records is the same for everyone back then its only written by person who could just about write and read  .. but those they asked were not able to read and write so spellings and names could be different without them knowing and also accents were maybe a problem ... they would have not known if it was correct or not.. so it just carried on
I note many of the names both male & female are names used by Buckland famliies,

Just found these entries on FS:
Timothy Buckland birth                     13 NOV 1774       Great Barrington, Gloucester

Timothy Buckland Christening:       01 APR 1798      Seend, Wiltshire, England
parents Barrington & Charlotte

PRUDENCE BUCKLAND   Christening:  15 JUN 1807   Edington, Wiltshire   
Father:  BARRINGTON BUCKLAND    Mother:  CHARLOTTE 
that was posted by CaroleW on here:

Now just wondering if the name Barrington was from the place  ?:
I would say that it was very common for families to carry the male name through family

The Timothy who died in 1856 aged 102 was born 1754 so is he the first of line?

Timothy b 1754 -died 1856 -aged 102
 Son :Timothy christened 1774
son :Timothy b 1831

Yes I guess it was all down to  the parish clerks as far as the written records are concerned.

I wonder if 15/5/1803 Wellow St Julian Richard Barrington who marries Charlotte Buckland is connected with Prudence or not. The date is ok but the surnames I would have thought should be the other way around. Another clerical error?

As for place names there is Burrington (try with country accent)and Farrington Gurney, probably called Farrington locally where James Barrington Buckland and Esther Buckland Barrington were both living & buried 1875 & 1887.

I know this is an old topic but are those interested in Barrington Buckland aware of Eric Trudgill's recently published "Family Tree of Barrington Buckland, From about 1750 to about 1910, primarily the Mid-Western Counties of England".

It's available on genfair.

Hope this is of use to someone.

Many thanks for this info Darnity.
I have been in touch with Eric Trudgill on and off and have been waiting for him to publish this. Cheers.

I've been helping someone on another board whose ancestor seems to be part of this family, so I thought it might be useful if I posted details here, particularly as they emigrated to the US.

Mentioned in this thread is Delphine Buckland who married Richard Parfrey in Clutton, Somerset on 25 Dec 1823. She was baptised as Delphi Buckland on 17 Mar 1805 at Potterne, Wilts, the daughter of Barrington and Charlotte. In 1861 she gives her birthplace as Wisbery Wilts, which I think is probably Westbury, a few miles from Potterne.

Richard and Delphine baptised:
9 Jul 1826 Mary Ann Parfrey at Cameley, Somerset. Possibly buried age 7 in Chew Magna in 1833
4 Apr 1832 Elizabeth Parfery at Camely
12 Jan 1834 Aaron Palfrey at Clutton

As Richard and Philadelphia they baptised
21 Apr 1833 Hester Parfrey aged 6  at Chew Magna Somerset
21 Apr 1833 Jonathan Parfrey aged 4 at Chew Magna
22 Nov 1835 Parfery Parfery at Farmborough, Somerset (I wonder if this should have Purify Parfery?)

Philadelphia Parfery also baptised an illegitimate son William at Clutton on 5 Nov 1823. It looks as though she'd taken the surname Parfery even though she didn't marry Richard for a few more weeks. William was buried at Clutton on 14 Dec 1823.

I'm assuming that her baptism name of Delphi may have been a contraction of Philadelphia, but it also appears as Delphine

Now it gets complicated!

Richard baptised more children
18 Apr 1841 Julia Emma Palfrey mother Dalferretta at High Littleton
25 Feb 1844 Alfred Parfry mother Dalferretta at High Littleton
25 Dec 1845 Edward Parrfry mother Dolfereda at High Littleton
28 Mar 1847 Joseph Parfry mother Doloretta

There are three more children showing in censuses whose baptisms I can't trace – Timotheus, Richard and Henry. All three can be traced in English/Welsh and US censuses.

In 1841 at High Littleton, all born Somerset were
Richard Palfrey 40 coal miner
Dulerate Palfrey 35
Timotheus Palfrey 10
Aaron Palfrey 7
Richard Palfrey 5
Betsy Palfrey 3
Henry Palfrey 2
July Emma Palfrey 12 weeks

In 1851 Village of Treaman, parish of Aberdare
Richard Parry head marr 50 Farm labourer b Somerset
Filly Parry wife 50 , b Wiltshire Wisbery
Richard Parry son 17 Miner b Somerset Hiliton
Elizabeth Parry dau 15 b Somerset Silton
Henry Parry son 12 miner b Hiliton
Gullya Parry dau 10 b Hiliton
Alfred Parry son 7 b Hiliton
Edward Parry son 4 b Hiliton
Joseph Parry son 2 b Hiliton

I'd have suspected a second marriage for Richard c 1840 when the name Dolleretta first appears, had she not reverted to Filly (Philly/Philadelphia) in 1851

In 1861 in Aberdare
Dorathy Parfrey head widow 57 b Wiltshire, Littleton (she wasn't a widow and Littleton is in Somerset)
Alfred Parfrey son 17 miner b Somerset
Edward Parfrey son 16 miner b Somerset
Joseph son 14 miner b Somerset

In the early/mid 1860s they emigrated to Pennsylvania, where she was shown as Dularato Parphary in 1870 and died on 13 May 1883 at Old Forge Pennsylvania

I think I can put up a good case for Delphi/Delphine/Philadelphia/Filly but the change to Dolleretta defeats me.
