Joseph Trapnell and Mary??????

[Newbabe]

Hi,
Help, my g.g.g.grandmother Charlotte Trapnell died aged 91 7.2.1894. in Bridgwater.  I have found a baptism for her in Broomfield 8.2.1803, parents Joseph and Mary.  I cannot find a marriage for these two, and cannot find a baptism for Joseph, and as I do not have Marys maiden name I cannot find her birth o baptism.  I have been looking for these for so long now with no success.
Any help or leads would be much appreciated.
Thanks Val

Is Trapnell Charlottes maiden name of married name?

[trish1120]

Ok found her as Trapnel 1803 to Joseph/Mary

Earlier Children Baptised Broomfield with Father Joseph have Mother as Martha (maybe she was known as Mary also?)
Ist Child Sarah 1787


All on FreeREG

BURIALS;
St Mary and All Saints, Broomfield

MARTHA Trapnell, 25 April 1841 age 88
JOSEPH Trapmill, 9 March 1845 age 89

1841 Census
Broomfield, Somerset
Joseph Trapnell, 85, Ag Lab
Mary Clinch, 64
Elizabeth Sully, 63

So Joseph was born c 1756 from 1841 Census and 1756 from Burial
Martha born c 1753

Marriage on FreeREG 1776 Broomfield

2 earlier Childrens Baptism before Sarah 1787 are Jane 1776/James 1782

Did Charlotte marry John Holeman or Holdman 1828 Bridgewater?
A Witness was MARIA Trapnell


MARIA Trapnell was Baptised 5 Jan 1793 Broomfield to JOSEPH/MARIA

I rest my case

Yes Trish she did. BUT, I have just decided to go back over what I have and its funny what you find.
As her death cert dated 1894 says she is 91 then I thought she must have been born in 1803.
So I have just checked the census's I have for her.
1841 she says she is 30 (that year they had to round up/down to the nearest 0 or 5)
1851 she is 44 ??!! (she is a lady, we all lie!!)
1861 she is 58
1871 she is 67
1881 she is 77
1891 she is 85
1894 at death 91.
Well I don't know about you maths, but that doesn't quite work out to me.
SO - is she the Charlotte Trapnell born to John Trapnell and Martha (Guiliford)
baptised 24th. Sept 1810 in Spaxton?
What do you think?

I can only give my opinion and the Witness at the Marriage clinches it for me.
So I think she is the Daug of Joseph/Martha nee Mullins.

Also if she was born c 1810 the Marriage Record would say usually with permission of Parents as she would be underage,

Good point!
