Look up request For Hursley Hampshire

[AmandaJ]

I am looking for information on a William Hickman born abt 1835 in Hursley Hants.
A Christening reference and info would be good perhaps telling me his parents names and or a marriage of said parents. (Is that too much to ask for. I apologise if it is)

On the 1841 census, assuming this is the right William, but there does not appear to be any other and it falls in with what I have further on in his life. Anyway on the 1841 census it says his mother is called Elizabeth. He has two brothers, one Stephen possibly his twin as they are the same age and James who is a year younger.

On the 1851 census, William is living with a family called Powell, it states that he is their son-in law but he is single, so I'm not sure what the relationship is except he could be the step son as the wife of the family is Elizabeth.

Any help would be welcome and I offer my thanks in advance.

Hi Amanda,

I had a look at the 1861 census where William and his wife Martha are with the Powells and William is still recorded as "son in law".

Here is Elizabeth's marriage to Henry Powell

Marriages  December Quarter 1841  Winchester&c

Elizabeth Hickman
Henry Powell    Volume: 7  Page: 391

So William is Henry's step son.
