Caroline Windett

[AMBLY]

Wow, everyone - great sleuthing  And fascinating....

So, whilst the mother of Agnes Adelaide Astley Windett was Caroline (who married to Daniel Brown 20/1/1835 St. Geo. Han.Sq. London) where was this Agnes in 1841?

Is it certain though, that this Caroline is Agnes' mother? (Or did I miss something)

 

Thankyou Shaun J that makes a bit of sense as the family story tale is that a Lord Astley was the father of Agnes

Ahh,  that just goes to show......every little possible clue, no matter how unlikely it seems!

Cheers

Ambly, the Great Yarmouth parish register has this baptism:

5 March 1831

Agnes Adelaide Astley B.B. [base born] of Caroline Windett (E. Braddenham, Norfolk).

Well done ShaunJ, I had looked for Lord Hastings in 1841 but didnt find him.

I think as she names her Father as Jacob Astley in Shipping Record it is fairly conclusive.
I wonder why she left from Wiltshire.
Did the Astleys or Windetts have connections there?

Answered my own question re Jacob 1797;
He succeeded to the title of 6th Baronet Astley, of Hill Morton, co. Warwick on 28 April 1817

I wonder why she left from Wiltshire.

She didn't. The passenger list says that her place of origin was Yarmouth. 

The "North Newton Wiltshire" bit is a transcription error and belongs to an Edith Spratt further up the page.

Agnes was one of the 10 unmarried females mentioned in this newspaper article http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/230394240
