Banger Family
« on: Monday 16 November 09 23:33 GMT (UK) »
I am the great great grandson of George E. Banger.  He was born in 1822 in Chetnole, Dorsetshire County, England.  He was the last of a family of four boys and one girl.  He left home at age 13 to become an apprentic shoemaker and left England in 1852 for the United States where he spent the rest of his life.

I am trying to determine who his father and mother were, in addtion to his siblings.  I have located a couple of Banger's around the Chetnole area, but not certain as to their relation.  Unfortunately with the earliest census available being 1841, George would have already been moved out of the home by then.

Here's some potential siblings I've identified, but not certain of:

Samuel Banger, b.1813 Thornford - Agricultural Laborer
William Banger, b.1815 Thornford - Shoemaker
Thomas Banger, b. 1821 Chetnole - Tailor

Anyone who may have any information as to who his siblings may be, and father and mother would be greatly appreciated!

Hi and welcome to Rootschat

Did George marry in England or the USA

If he married in England - what was his wife's name as a copy of the marriage cert will show George's fathers name

Do you know his full middle name

He married in the States to Mary Chapin, and no, I do not know his full middle name. Thank you for the response.

Hi

The submitted IGI entry shows the marriage as 3rd July 1858 so somebody else is researching this couple 

Do American marriage certs for that period show parents names?

I haven't been able to find a record of their marriage in the US.  And yes, I spoke with a gentleman who's done a lot of research on his great grandmother wo was married to my great grandfather.  However, he did not do any research further back on the Banger side of things.

As William Banger, who lived in Chetnole, was also a shoemaker, it may be worth getting his marriage certificate:

William Banger m Eliza Hurlstone  Dec 1843   

It would give his father's name which may give you another avenue to explore.

In 1841 George was apprentice to John Devenish, shoemaker, in Maiden Newton. there may be an apprentice record at the Dorchester record office.

In 1851 he is living with the Loveless family. I can't see a family connection but they may be worth exploring.

Thank you for the information.  It shows the father as Samuel on the marriage certificate, which is the prime person I identified out of three potential ones.

Do you mind if I ask what source you used?  I do a lot through the Dorset OPC and Ancestry.com but did not find the information on John Devenish or Eliza Hurlstone.

Thank you very much.

The information I have comes from the same site as you, although the Banger/Hurlstone marriage was on freebmd.org.uk.

The 1841 entry is:

HO107/285/7
John Devenish, 30, shoe maker, Y
Ann D, 30, N
Thos D, 4, Y
Elizabeth D, 3, Y
George Banger, 19, shoe m(aker) ap(prentice), Y
John Gray, 14, Y

If you say that Samuel is named as the father on Samuel jr's marriage certificate, then this looks like a real possibility:

Yetminster baptisms:
George (1822) and Levi (1824) sons of Samuel and Jane Banger, postman of Chetnole.

There are no other Banger baptisms in Yetminster. You will need to look at the Chetnole ones at Dorchester (or get someone to do it for you).

Burials in Yetminster:
16 Dec 1826   Samuel Banger of Chetnole age 43
18 Jun 1835    Jane Banger of Yetminster age 43

There is a possible marriage in 1806 on the opc site.

The IGI site has a reference to the above Samuel with claimed details on his family, together with the contact details of the person who did the research (based in the US).

These wills in the Swindon record office would be worth looking at (you can do it online for the second one):

Samuel Banger of Chetnole, 1828
http://history.wiltshire.gov.uk/heritage/getwill.php?id=9287

There is also a reference to this will and the testamentory papers here:
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/A2A/records.aspx?cat=031-dffo_1&cid=-1&Gsm=2008-06-18#-1

Samuel Banger of Thornford, 1802
