Downton mystery....

[mshergold]

Although there is sufficient evidence of the following family for a brief period, some things remain a mystery....
Heres what I have>

Benjamin Shergold [sometimes spelt Shergell] married Elizabeth Munday [ sometimes spelt Mundy]
on the 16th of November 1828 at Downton. The couple had issue of Charles born 28th April 1832 and baptised on 10th May 1832 being about 2 weeks old ; George christened 3rd of March 1830 about 3 months old and James Thomas christened 3.7.1834. Depending on which sources one uses these children appear at St Edmunds Church St Wesleyan Salisbury or Salisbury Methodist.
The 1841 census shows the family as such>

Benjamin Shugarts   53 ag lab
Elizabeth Shugarts   46
Sarah Shugarts   16
William Shugarts   13
George Shugarts   11
Charles Shugarts   9
James Shugarts   7
jacob Down 80 pauper y

The census shows the family with Jacob Down being related in one form or another to Benjamin., and upon reading the image is actually Shergold.

From inspection the family escaped from the mass exodus to Canada aboard the King William but I am finding it difficult to see any of the family from 1841 onwards.
So if someone with some time would find the family in 1851 etc....... it would be appreciated.
I am also interested in any structuring that gives passage for the Mundy / Munday family as it seems there are a few Shergolds marrying into the surname.
Thank you

The marriage for this couple list's George's father's name as George Shergold

I think we need to wait till Mshergold gets back to us to see if this is the right family
