Somerset Lookup Requests / Re: 1851 Lookup Request - Singleton
« on: Thursday 30 November 23 23:41 GMT (UK)  »
Appreciate this is a very old thread but as Ive been researching Hugh and his family for some years
I'm posting this to help others should they have similar queries and come across it.

Hugh would be my G.G.Grandfather.

Answering the questions raised here:
Alfred was son of John - went to Jersey and stayed there until his death.
Hugh moved to Dorchester then to Bournemouth - In 1861 he is in Thorncombe not Winsham.
The address in Thorncombe would be Winnards Hill Cottage, which in recent times would be Winyards Hill, the cottages were demolished in the 1960s apparently.

For John and Elizabeth I have now identified 12 children in total, plus an additional child where John remarried after Elizabeths death.

Hi Carlos,

Its nice to see the Singleton name turn up in unexpected places :D

My g/g/g/grandfather was John Singleton born c1813 Winsham, his father is believed to also be John though I have not yet proved this and his date of birth. He also had a brother called Daniel I believe.

Some of this info came from another Singleton who is a different branch from John but hence distance cousins. He did mention in our communications though that he believed the Chillington Singletons were cousins of the Winsham Singletons though not proven yet and most of them emigrated to the Americas. This helped explain some issues that I found in my research where Singletons married Singletons :o

As a follow up.

In the Winsham parish records there are references to Singletons as far back as 1660. It is 4.2 miles from Chillington to Winsham so may be of interest.

One other thing to consider is county border changes, this area has been affected by changes in the past as you are on the Somerset, Dorset and Devon borders.

Hi fellow Singletons,

I'm descended from the Winsham Singletons which is not too far from Chillington. Have any of you proven a link between the two villages being related?

Regards,

David Singleton
