Berkshire / Re: James Deacon in Berkshire conundrum
« on: Sunday 30 September 18 13:07 BST (UK)  »
Pheno - yes that makes sense. So it is likely that Ann and Henry who appear on the 1841 Census are part of the same family. Although they Ann, Henry, Jesse and Amos are listed in christening records on FindMyPast and family search with the parents - James and Sarah.

I think I am getting a bit clearer -
James 1. b. 1772 m.Sarah Harris 1779 d.1850

James 2. b.1787 m. Sarah Vellewise 1805 or Sarah Stanmore 1809
 d.1874

then children - Ann, Henry, Jesse and Amos are James 2 and Sarah or James 2 and second wife Hannah

There are 2 extra children that I have found with James and Sarah as parents -

Ann b.1821 (the same year as Richard, so must be different parents) - she is on the 1841 census
and Jesse b. 1829

That's a different James from the other that died in 1850, so, why the same children in the census I wonder?
and how do I know who is who?

The name that struck me was 'Amos' born to James and Sarah Harris, is living with what looks like the other James, it is quite a unique name

Berkshire / James Deacon in Berkshire conundrum
« on: Sunday 30 September 18 11:45 BST (UK)  »
A bit of a conundrum -

I have a set of 18 children all born in East Ilsley (small village in Berkshire), with the parents James Deacon and Sarah.

There are 3 possible James Deacon births and 2 possible marriages to Sarah. (b.1772,1782 and 1787) and then to Sarah Harris and Sarah Vellewise, there is also a Sarah Stanmore marriage nearby.

b.1772 - m.Sarah Harris 1799 - on the find my grave website they are both listed - Sarah d.1837 and James d.1850. It says they have 15 children born to this union. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/45661611/james-deacon

One of the confusing parts is the census records. The 1841 census shows James living with children Ann, Henry, Jesse and Amos...he also appears on the 1851 census with Amos, Jesse, a different wife and lodgers. On both of these censuses, his birth appears to be a different James - around 1790 and James (b.1772) died in 1850, so he wouldn't be on the 1851 Census.
There was a James Deacon born in 1787 in the same village (different parents).

So, the same children as listed on the find a grave side, living with a different James Deacon?

Is there any way that I can be sure that the children share the same parents (James Deacon and Sarah Harris)? as there are 2 particular children that I would like to check if they are siblings - as they seem to have children who marry,

I hope that makes some sense.

Thank you

Yes, I think it must be the best way for clarity

Thanks

Do I follow the Largham Censuses and ignore the Counter birth? Or the other way round?

Could there be a possibility that links the 2 I wonder?

The only thing I know for certain is his birth date 1/6/1859

Possible mother's maiden name Counter (as it's the only birth registered in Devon in that time)...How reliable do you think that is?

Possible 1871 Census inc Wm and Mary

..the 1861 Census that shows them living with John and Mary Largham adds up with the dates...what about the name Largham?

Thank you Bumblebee and Heywood!

I was just typing, then I saw your posts...yes, that must be the one

May, I ask how did you find that?

It seems like I always need to check other spellings
