Hi
I was just going to let you know that I have also been doing some work tonight!!
I've found 7 children belonging to Richard and Mary - Richard, Mary Elizabeth, John, Richard (do they replace the names when a child dies?) Sarah Hannah, HABBIT,James and John ...
Since I began this family's tree I have had a sheet of B,M,D's of Durell's and it has finally come into some use BUT it never would without your help. I certainly would never have thought of HABBITT as ABBOT or even ABEL.
I did send for Habbit's and Mary Ann's birth certs when I got the parents marriage one. (No expense spared in this household) details as follows:-
19.09.1849 HABBIT. father Habbit Durrell,(laborer)mother Mury Durrell formerly Beacroft
8.06.1847 Mary Ann Clara, father Abbot Durrell(coal whipper) mother Mary Durrell formerly Beacroft
2 Apple Street, BG
So I think they must have been pretending to be married which must have been quite daring in those days - unless there is another marriage pre 1849.
