Silas and Mary Ann Hoskins had a number of children and I am finding it a challenge discovering details regarding them. I think the list below is complete, but there may be so early deaths that I have not discovered.
 
Thomas 1847-1914 is my direct ancestor and I have knowledge about him. However, I notice on the internet someone has given him a middle name of Hayman and I don't know where that came from.

Martha 1839 lost her after 1861 census. Did she marry. When did she die? Also who is the Jas Hoskins on the 1861 census with her. It seems to be a brother, but I can't find anything else about him.

Aaron E 1851-     (poss also called just Edward) did he marry. Poss died 1933.

Richard J 1853-1876

James W 1858-1880

Frances C 1857 surprisingly born in Bristol. I can find no logical reason. When did she die?

Hannah 1849-1903 marr William Kenn

Mary Jane 1841-1885

Amelia 1839-1925 marr Henry Hunt

Eliza Ann 1847 did she marry John Cleave in 1867 when/where did she die?

A big thank you for any help,  Mark

My ancestor George Higgins (previous unrelated message sent) was a police constable who in the 1870/80's lived in Tatworth near Chard. He moved with the police to Curry Rivel in 1886 after 21 years at Tatworth. The 1871 census names him living in Tatworth Street in Tatworth and I would be interested to know if the house has survived and where it is. In Oct 1880 the Frome Times and also the Western Gazette reported that P.C. Higgins had raised the alarm when Mr Denning's bakehouse (which was next door) caught fire. The bakehouse was destroyed but the house was saved.

I thought I knew all I was going to know about my grandfather x 2 George Foot 1850-1923.
He was married 3 times and had 13 children with his first wife and a further 2 with his second and none with the 3rd whom he married when they were both old.

A few years ago a distant relation told me that he had been told that George had several stray children taking the number of children up to around 21. I had thought this was mischief making and unfounded.

As he was a woodman and gamekeeper on the Up Cerne estate and with his wives pregnant for long periods he would have have had opportunities to misbehave.

Today I had found a letter a relative had sent my father in 1991. He is no longer with us. He felt George 'had been a bit of a lad with the ladies'! After  the relative put story in a local paper about family history with photographs he had a visit from a complete stranger and her son. Her name was Holloway and her family were  farmers called Gould from around Minterne Magna area. For years a picture of George was on the walls of their family house despite there being no obvious connection.

I have found a Charles Gould who married Elizabeth Hall. They lived at Glanville Wootton and had a daughter Sarah (twin). She had children Gerald 1895, Frank 1898, Mabel 1900, Lionel 1897 and Jack 1902 all having the name Foot in their name and being born around the same time as George's proper family. Any help proving a connection would  be greatly appreciated.

Thank Mark

I have always been puzzled when my mother told me that the lady in several family pictures was named Daisy lived in the Midlands and was a relation and possibly a cousin of Aldus Stacey born Street 1882. My family have lived in and around the Street area of Somerset and therefore I thought it unlikely that Daisy was related.
It appears that a Daisy H Stacey was born in Leamington around 1883, who married a Charles (Ernest?) Batchelor in 1915 and who I believe lived in Warwick. On a Christmas card I have an address from a Batchelor living in Birmingham and another card signed by Ada who I believe was Daisy's sister.
With a surname of Stacey it would appear to tie up but a search of the census gives Daisy's father as Albert born in Dorset around 1844. I can't find a connection but shoemaking was the main industry in Street. Any help would be great as it has been a puzzle. Thanks Mark
