Hi,
Can anyone help me find another elusive relative?
I'm trying to find baptism records of GEORGE COUSENS born about 1845. Herein lies my problem:
In the 1901 census it says he was born in Barrick, Wiltshire
In the 1891 census it says Wiltshire
In the 1881 census it says Newbury, Berkshire
In the 1871 census it says Newbury, Berkshire
In the 1861 census it says Burghclere, Hampshire
In the 1851 census it says Burghclere, Hampshire
So far I have obtained a certificate for a George Cousens in Newbury, Berkshire born around that time but it wasn't him. I have also tried Wiltshire but no luck so far.
Does anyone have access to the Burghclere parish registers that could do a look up for me?
I have tried the Kingsclere website and can't find him on their either.
It appears that his family moved around a lot. He has brothers that were born in Gloucester, more in Berwick Basset and finally a sister born in St Mary Extra.
His father was Richard Collier Cousens and his mother was Elizabeth Ann Digweed.
Many thanks in advance.
