Dear all,
Thank you for your posts to date.
Liz- when I look in BMD for births in 1828, I don’t see the mothers Maiden Name. Would you mind advising me on where you found the name Fenton please. I am thinking this unnamed male Fox child in 1838, mother Fenton, may very well be a first child for George Fox and Elizabeth Fenton, born out of wedlock?
Regarding the Fenton’s I do believe we have confirmed the family group:
As well as Elizabeth, Samuel and Elizabeth Fox had a number of other children.
1 Mary Ann Fenton* 1814, Blandford Forum, Dorset
2 Elizabeth Fenton 4th April 1818, Salisbury, Wiltshire
3 Emma Fenton** 1st March 1824, Fordington, Dorset
4 Ann Fenton*** 5th October 1826, Fordington, Dorset
5 Herbert Fenton**** 15th January 1834, Dorchester, Dorset
Regarding the 1841 Census entry for Ann Fenton, aged 15, I think this def is Elizabeth’s sister who had been born in 1826 in Fordington.
Whether the 2 separate entries in the 1841 Census for:
Garden House/Sherborne Castle, Sherborne - George Fox 45 Agricultural Labourer - born in county
Newland Street, Sherborne - Eliza Fox 25 Female Servant – not born in County
..are George Fox and Elizabeth living separately, who know. For the George Fox entry, I just wish the occupation stated had been Basket Maker as opposed to Ag Labourer. Just wish I had found them together!
Thanks again, Keith
