Title: Ann Gale mar James Saunders 1853 - looking for baptism
Post by: ribbo39 on Saturday 23 November 19 22:49 GMT (UK)

Hi all,
Is anyone able to help me find a baptism  for Ann Gale about 1824ish in/around Crewkerne please.

On her marriage cert. to James  Saunders (in 1853 Frome)  she is aged 29 the d/o Josph Gale.

I've been tru the original registers on Ancy and the only one I can find is for an Ann Gale 10-5-1829 the d/o Richard & Frances.

On the 1861 census for Crewkerne she is aged 38 (2 years older than James) and states birthplace as Crewkerne. Unfortunately she is buried in 1863 aged 45.
I know the  ages don't line up but in 1864 James marries his 2nd wife Emma.

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Alan

There is an Ann GALE (20) with I assume parents Joseph (ag lab, not born in county) and Susan  GALE (both 60) at Crewkerne in 1841, residence note "Black Down" H0107/940/29  pg 1 - a possibility.

Hi maddys52 & Mckha,

Many thanks for your findings.

I think the 1841 census looks very promising with both Susan & Ann born in the county.

I went further and found a 1851 & 61 for Joseph & Susannah  in Martock, Som. but I believe they are not the same couple.
