Thank you for your reply scrubnut  :)  Very interesting!  I have now got a little more info about this.  Thomas' younger brother was born 21 June 1847 and was also named Thomas.  This was only one week before the older Thomas' death was registered (over 10 months after his death  :o). 

I think the registrar after talking to the parents registering their younger son's birth must have realised there was no death registration for the older one. 

I had thought it was possibly the registrar at fault but I think you are correct and that Mr Uphill would appear to be the culprit.

I have just checked on a historical calendar.

Anne HARSE was buried Friday 24 Apr 1835.  Joseph and Hannah were married on Wednesday 13 May 1835.

So there were 3 Sundays between the two: 

26 April, 3 May and 10 May.

Thank you so much Elizabeth  :)

Very interesting that they were married by Banns. 

Joseph was married to Anne Young in 1816.  Anne appears to have been buried on 24 Apr 1835 in Badgworth, Somerset.  Doesn't leave much time for the Banns to be read does it?  :o

Hello Charles,

Thank you very much for that one.  Certainly looks a possibility, so will investigate further.

Last night I also found an Anna Maria Hurst (born c1849) on a ship to Australia in 1869.  Haven't been able to find any other Australian records so far though.  Hannah Atwell had a daughter Louisa.  Louisa's son went to Australia but will have to check where and when.

The Common Room / Can anyone help me find Anna Maria HARSE please?

Anna Maria HARSE was in Axbridge Union Workhouse in 1851 aged 2.  With her are Hannah HARSE aged 41 and Joseph HARSE aged 11.  Joseph and Anna's place of birth is given as Weare and Hannah's is given as South Brent.

I am pretty certain that Hannah (nee ATWELL) was baptised in Weare, Somerset on 3 Dec 1809 and that she married a Joseph HARSE/HEARSE in Bristol in 1835.  Their son Joseph was born in Newport, Mon in 1839 and the family were there in 1841. 

The family were living in Nailsea, Somerset when another son Thomas was born in 1847.  Joseph HARSE Snr died at Pill, Somerset in September 1849 followed by his 2 year old son Thomas in the October.  The informant for both was Emma HARSE who was present at the deaths and I now know her to be Joseph's adult daughter from a previous marriage. 

There is a likely sighting of Anna Maria in 1861 in Hopkins Street, Weston-super-Mare.  Anne HARSE is 11 years old, born Pill, Somerset and a boarder with the Fisher family.  Hannah is remarried to William HARES and is also living in Hopkins Street, WsM with a lodger Joseph HURST aged 18 who was born in Newport, Mon. 

I have always assumed that Anna Maria was Hannah's daughter and therefore Joseph's sister.  However, I now realise that I have no proof of this as the only two records I have for Anna/Anne do not show any family relationships.   I really should know better by now...   :-[

If anyone can help me find a birth/baptism for Anna/Anne or what happened to her/them I would be very grateful.

Charles, would you mind PMing the tree owner's details please?  The only one I can find at the moment with the correct death details is mine, which is private at the moment.

Thank you Charles. 

I have found that burial in Mells in 1878 previously.  Kezia DARRAND was baptised in 1770 so would indeed be about 108 if she lived until then. 

Unfortunately, the NBI record states that the Keziah CHAMBERLAIN buried in Mells in 1878 was only 84.   :(
