Hannah Dinning, Wells

[Deirdre784]

Hi, wonder if anyone can find any info on Hannah Dinning, who I believe may be my husband's 4* great grandmother.

She married James While at St Cuthbert's, Wells on 10 Feb 1814.

I've found five children born to James White, a labourer, and Hannah, of East Wells between 1815 and 1824, all baptised at St Cuthbert's, Wells.....

William 21 May 1815
Sarah 6 April 1817 (my husband's 3* great grandmother)
John 28 August 1819
Mary Ann 10 March 1822 (witness at Sarah's wedding to Richard Leigh at St Cuthbert's on 10 April 1837)
James 4 March 1824

Given the dates of the baptisms, the marriage on 10 Feb 1814 looks good, but I haven't yet found any other info (census or deaths) on James and Hannah to progress any further.

Any help much appreciated. Thanks.

Could this be the family in 1841 at Bath St James, bearing in mind that in 1841 'adult' ages were rounded down to the nearest 5:

James  45 1796  Labourer 
Hannah  45 1796   
John  20 1821  Labourer 
Mary  20 1821   
Ann  15 1826   
Sarah  14 1827   
Eliza  11 1830
James  8 1833   

Familysearch has the parents of all of the above children as James & Hannah White, all baptised at St Cuthbert's.  The year of birth for Sarah & James are both out, but this could be due to the burial at St Cuthbert's of a Sarah White on 22 Aug 1822 and a James White on 24 Feb 1826. 

Edited: Cant be the right family as this Sarah couldn't have married in 1837.

Thanks Jomot, guess the burial could be my James. I'll have a look. Wonder how many James and Hannah Whites were at St Cuthbert's around that time 

Edited to add: No, this James was only 2 years old, so is probably James and Hannah's son. Slighly worrying though as the Sarah burial in 1822 was aged 5, and my Sarah would also have been 5. Neither burial mentions father, but both abodes are East Wells as were the baptisms.

Hi, Freereg has burial of James White age 70  at St Cuthberts, Wells 20/5/1861
Assuming your James could of been around 20 when he and Hannah wed, and so born around 1794 it's a possibility it could be your chap.

Another James aged 19 buried at same place 1870.
There are a couple very young James burials too.

Thanks jusnoneed, it could well be him (it looks good) but it could also be the James White found in 1841 by jomot. I haven't been able to find my James and Hannah in any of the censuses but have found some info on all but one of the children I currently have as theirs. 

Unfortunately there seem to be a number of James Whites (and even a 2nd James/Hannah couple) baptised/married/buried at St Cuthbert's and I'm having 2nd thoughts about whether or not I have the right parents for Sarah (b 1817)
