Did William JEFFERY bap. 6 Dec 1817 in Sherborne Dorset marry a Miss KINGBURGH?
I believe that his parents were William JEFFERY & Elizabeth ELLIOT who married 8 Jan 1800 All Saints' Dorchester, Dorset
Charles Fellowes JEFFERY born 1838 was William & Miss Kīs son.
Can anyone find the other members of the is family?

Further information, based mostly on certificates, a bit on PRs. The idea here is to track back the parents of each generation until ye olde brick wall raises its head.... At this point I'll track back the paternal version. Maternal is equally important, just more difficult..... often.
1. Harry Jeffery was born 14 Feb 1904. His parents on the birth certificate are given as Bertram Harry Jeffery and Amy Jeffery, nee Melhuish. So far so simple....
2. Bertram Harry Jeffery was born 21 May 1874. On his birth certificate and his marriage certificate his father is given as Charles Fellowes Jeffery. On his marriage certificate, his wife is given as Mary Ann Sarah Frampton. The marriage is dated 2 Apr 1861. We can not find any other Charles Fellowes around the time frames required.
3. The marriage in (2) also gives William Vincent Jeffery as Charles father.
4. Now we go to the PRs. William Vincent Jeffery has an entry in the Weymouth PRs with a baptism date of 27 August 1837 with parents of William and Kinburgh. A search for William Vincent Jeffery reveals no other William Vincent Jeffery in the dates of interest.
5. A search for the William and Kinburgh marriage, turns up only one, 30 July 1829 Melcombe Regis.
6. We're not in trouble yet. Kinburgh is Kinburgh Forward Upjohn (from the marriage with William) and her family is fairly easily traced.
7. Now we're in trouble. The William Jeffery who married Kinburgh. There are a significant number of Williams that this may be. We traced through several of these Williams and took a William Jeffery baptised in Sherborne on 23 Dec 1807. The reasons will become apparent.
8. William bap 1807 has a parentage of William and Susan.
9. A marriage search turned up a William Jeffery married a Susan Baker in Dorchester in 1800. Tracing Susan located a Susan Baker bap at Yeovil in 1783. I believe that this Susan is solid as her name and the names of her parents (Gabriel Baker and Hester Toogood) are used for several of the children further down the tree. In this scenario, William is also baptised in 1783 at Sherborne. Accepting an 1800 marriage means that both would have been 17 at marriage. Is there a license somewhere? The birth of William and Susan's first child in 1805 (also Susan) would indicate a marriage year of about 1804. Can't find one.
10 Now to William. William Jeffery bap 1807 has a parentage of William and Elizabeth. A marriage search locates William Jeffery and Elizabeth Ann Hart married 12 Dec 1776. This might not be so solid as, although the Hart name has spread through the generations, there may be other reasons it got there.
So we need to determine the details of the William who married Elizabeth Ann Hart and confirm the details of Elizabeth herself (and whether or not this projected tree is accurate).
Your thoughts would be most appreciated.
Cheers, Keith Jeffery
