Caroline Ford 15 Sep 1822  Somerset  Chewton Mendip

dau of James and Fanny

BMD marriages Wells for James Clavey, Dec q 1847.. has a problem
BMD marriage Dec q 1847 for Caroline Ford. ... has 4 female and 3 male entries

( I'm hoping a more experienced member can help with this )

The couple are together on the 1851 census and a GRO search for daughter Eliza's birth reg., gives Mother's maiden name as FORD

Mother's Maiden Surname: FORD 

CLAVEY, ELIZA  1856   WELLS

Thank you for that. It confirms then that they are her siblings and I have the right line. I just couldn't find it.

Many a thanks for your help.

BAPTISMS;
St Mary Magdalene, Chewton Mendip
WILLIAM Foord 18 July 1813
CAROLINE Ford 15 Sept 1822
GEORGE Ford 23 April 1826
Parents JAMES/FANNY
Fathers Occp Labourer
(FreeREG)

I would think there would be more Children 1807-1813

Strange as 1841 James/Fanny are born c 1786 and 1851 c 1776/1779

Possible;
Baptised same Church;
JAMES Ford 10 Dec 1786 (birth 23 Nov 1786)
Parents WILLM/ELIZH

CHARLES Ford, Grandson of James/Fanny on 1851 Census was the illeg Son of Caroline, Baptised 2 Jan 1842.
She  also Bapt a MARY, 12 April 1846
Cant find anything more on Mary, she may have died.

As you probably know Charles is with James/Fanny in 1861 Census where they are born c 1780/1781.

Sorry to answer your question if Caroline married James Clavey;

Birth Reg new DRO Index;
CLAVEY, RICHARD  FORD, Mothers mn FORD***r
GRO Reference: 1848  S Quarter in WELLS  Volume 10  Page 505
+
CLAVEY, GEORGE, Mothers mn FORD***
GRO Reference: 1850  D Quarter in WELLS  Volume 10  Page 503

HENRY from 1851 Census must have been born before the Marriage and is likely under Ford.

Well done Junket on spotting the two marriages. I've checked the St Cuthbert's Register (1807) and both parties are of the parish of St Cuthbert's Out. This was part of the parish outside the city stretching northwards and would tie in quite nicely with someone living later on in Chewton Mendip. James signs and Frances makes her mark. The witnesses are difficult but I think they read J. Lovell and S. Mullins.

There has been a mistake with the transcription of the 1847 marriage in Wells district. There is a James Clavey on Vol 10 p781 as well as Caroline Ford, but it has been transcribed as p71 on Ancestry and FreeBMD has missed him completely as far as I can see. The image is available on FindMyPast and you can read "781" quite clearly. So you would be quite safe to order this one, if you wish. The marriage is not in the PR of Chewton, and there is nothing in the index of the images of Somerset marriages on Ancestry. It may, of course have taken place in a church not covered in those records or could have been in a Register Office. Sorry I missed this in my earlier replies,

Steve

Old Bristolian- thanks again for your help.

Thanks, I live in an Out Parish ( Cornish but married to a Somerset man ), so familiar with looking for possible marriages in Wells.

Helping with his research, is helping me with the local Parishes.
