Hi Trish and Victor

Thank you very much for your replies - I didn't know much of the info you supplied but I can now fill in more details of that family.

Trish - I found it very interesting to read that you say the Pippey family were living in 3 Beaufort Place in the 1841 and 1851 censuses.  But if you jump ahead to the 1891 census, you will see that Ann Pippey's widower (she died in 1885) was living in 5 Beaufort Place.

I didn't think Ann ever moved back to Beaufort Place after she was married, but it's certainly strange that her widower lived in the house next door when she was growing up, some 40/50 years later.  I can't quite get my head around that one!

Also, it was either a big house or a rather tight squeeze - 12 lodgers!?!

Hi Carole.

Yes, Sarah was shown as a spinster.

Hello everyone, I wonder whether someone can help?

I'm looking for any information on Sarah Williams.

The known details on Sarah are:

She was born in c.1786 in South Molton.
I think Sarah was a Nurse.
She married John Kingdon in 1823 at St. John the Baptist Church, Wellington, Somerset.
Sarah had 2 children; William (b.1824) and Ann (b.1826).
Sarah moved to Bristol and in the 1841 census turns up in the Castle Precincts area.
Sarah remained in Bristol until her death in 1858.

If possible, I would like to know more about Sarah's early life - where did she live and who were her parents etc?

Many thanks.

Hi crisane - thanks for your reply.

Yes, I always assumed that entry was the family, but I'm still confused re why future censuses claim that William was born in Taunton and London?  Have I got the wrong "William" in the later censuses?

Hi all - there seems to be a little confusion over one of my ancestors - William Kingdon - and I wonder whether anyone can help me to get back on track.

The known details are:
William was born in c.1824 in Bristol.
He married Ann Tippey in 1842 in St.John the Baptist Church, Broad Street.
He was a paper hanger/painter and lived in St.Pauls for the majority of his life.
He had 4 children - William, John, Ann and Rosina.
William died in the Eastville Workhouse in 1899, aged 75.

So here's the confusing part: In the 1861 and 1871 censuses, William in shown as being born in Taunton, while the 1891 census suggests he came from London.  I can find no other obvious Williams in these censuses, so I must be mixing them up somewhere down the line.

Another patchy area is William's parents who I think were John and Sarah, but this is TBC.

Can anyone please help?
