Post by: Loupy on Sunday 08 January 17 11:43 GMT (UK)
Good morning
Am having problems with Anna Barnard b1794 High Ham, Somerset and married 1819 a Thomas Traves (Travis).  I have found 5 children but details and information on them are sketchy:

son George Traves (Travis) b c 1926 High Ham - have 1841 census but no more
dau Rachel b?? High Ham appears on the 1841 census  - a possible marriage to a John Barnard in 1846 (where does he fit in??) and no further info
son Thomas b1827 - he appears on 1841 and 1851 and then drops off the radar
son John Barnard Traves b1830 as above
dau Mary b1821 - I have managed to find all her information.

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks
Loupy

Mary Barnard baptised 28 July 1819 to Ann, single woman at Huish Episcopi - maybe Mary?

Sorry - I meant St Andrew High Ham

If the 1871 is John, the couple are at 5 Bridgwater Road, Ascott in 1881. He is still a farmer, no children.

Wow...thank you all for such a quick response.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks once again.

Done some more work on Ann Traves b1832 who married Frederick Sawtell.  Cannot find her on the census for 1871 or 1881. Her daughter Caroline is with her grandparents in 1871 and married thereafter.

Having looked at 1901 and 1911 census it would seem that she remained a widow after Frederick's death in 1892 (still with the name Sawtell). ???

Cannot find anything further for Charles b1821!?  :-[
