Family History Beginners Board / Bakers of Corsham, Wiltshire

Hi,
I have a Thomas Baker born in Corsham and baptised in Lacock 6 June 1802, son of James and Mary.  James b 1767 is probably son of Phillip Baker and Annamaria Hulbert, but can anyone please tell me who his wife Mary was? Also looking for a birth record for Annamaria, also known as Hannah Hulbert.

Knowle hospital, now apartments, is between Fareham and Wickham in Hampshire.  Just a mile or so to the east is Boarhunt where there was a large family of Cleverleys in the 1800s.  I don't think there was a connection with my family, but the name crops up as witnesses to my family marriages, in the same road etc.

Sorry, a bit quick on the post button.
William Pratt died in the Portsea Workhouse infirmary in 1875.  Again I have checked the original record, and he admitted himself and gave his age on admission.  But as you say, memory slips and people do lie... But the age on the death cert was probably based on that.
I agree that the Compton connection looks unlikely, but I'm struggling to unravel the two families.

Nell, Daisy, hi
I know St Peters existed as I've seen their original register in Portsmouth family history centre, and the baptism of William was also picked up on the LDS website and Find My Past.  There was no other mention of the name Pratt at all in the chapel registers, which makes me think there must be records elsewhere.  Daniel Street was a small road off Queen Street, which is within a mile or so of St Marys where the vast majority of Victorian Portsea BMDs took place.

Hello Nell, I have discounted the other baps for William for various reasons.  In 3 censuses W states that he was born in Portsea sometime between 1800 and 1806 and his death cert in 1875 puts his age at 73.  Of the 5 possible baps, those in Southwick and Boarhunt are duplicates (same area) and there is no evidence that this Thomas and Sarah would have had a child in Portsea.  Again with the Hambledon bap, Joseph and Sarah (too many Sarahs) stayed in Hambledon.  The 1804 bap in Portsea is tempting but W is with mother Martha in censuses when my W is elsewhere.  This leaves the Weslyan in 1802 - I have looked through the original records of this short-lived chapel and there are no other entries for Thomas and Sarah.  I wonder if they were local at the time and then moved closer to St Mary's so had other children bap there.  There appear to be 2 couples of that name having baps around the same time, just to complicate matters.  Possible marriages, both St Mary's Portsea, would be Thomas P and Sarah Compton 5.8.1787 and Thomas P and Sarah Savage 28.6.1796.  See my problem?

Hi, does anyone have any info on William Pratt who was born c1802 in Portsmouth, Hants and was a butcher in the town.  He married Jane Freeland Horne in 1824 and they had at least 10 children, but it's his parents I'm looking for.  A likely baptism is 15/9/1802 at the Wesleyan chapel of St Peters, Portsea, son of Thomas and Sarah, but who are they?
Any help very welcome

I have also just registered, having Googled Uvedale.  I am also a great x10 granddaughter of ellen uvedale and wondered if there was now a definite version of her parentage, whether she was the daughter of sir william or his brother thomas uvedale?   My line appears to be through the bettesworths to john lillywhite.
