Hi DJ,

Unfortunately I don't have any dates or place of birth.

I am assuming that the bride at least was born in the Bath Registration District as at that time brides tended to marry in their birthplace.

I have found a number of William Davises in Somerset all born circa 1800/1801.

I wondered about the possibility of accessing the marriage record to perhaps obtain ages at marriage or the names of fathers.

Best wishes

there is a William davis living Catherine in 1851 in St Michael BATH
he was born about 1795 (age 56) he was a porter born in Hereford
she was 54 and born in Bath

49 walish( walist) ? street

there is also a Ruth Kennell on the record but on the census return it looks like a separate abode

Hellp, Recuser,

First of all I found this

1851 census
HO107/1933folio 93  page 6
Crossways,  Stoke Lane, Somerset

William Davis  age 26   Smith  b  Som West Cranmore
Catharine  wie  age 27   b  Stoke Lane
Edmund  son  age 7    b   ditto
Alfred William  son  age 5   b    ditto
Sarah Ann  dau  age 3   b   ditto
Seward Charles  son  age 1   b  ditto

Then came the problem of finding out where Stoke Lane is or was, was it near Bath ???   I had to look at the enumerator's schedule & found it as Stoke Lane otherwise Stoke St
Michael.  This, in fact, near Shepton Mallet, not really very near Bath.     William & Catharine married in Bath, & I had the similar sort of problem with my own ancestor's marrying in Bath in 1832, but they did not live anywhere near Bath they came  from a small village near Taunton.  Perhaps it was the IN thing to marry in a large church in a main town.

In trying to find Catharine Rossiter in the 1841 census, I found there is a family of Thomas & Martha Rossiter in Stoke Lane but with no Catharine as a daughter but then she would  have been old enough to have left home & perhaps go in service.
HO107  bk 14  folio 16  page 2.

There was a Catharine Rossiter in the 1841 census b 1837 in t Michael, Bristol with parents William & Mary, but this did not seem to fit.
HO107  bk 8  folio 20  page 34

re. William Davis, I found there is no West Cranmore but there is a Cranmore again near Shepton Mallet.    I found that he is on the same pages as the Thomas & Martha Rossiter in Stoke Lane.
HO107 963  bk 14  folio 16  page 3
Three Ashes  Stoke Lane
William Davis  age 20  Blacksmith   born in co.  Yes.

So it looks as tho' the Thomas & Martha family could be the one for Catharine.  Would you like the census details ?

Sorry I can't find anything definite for Catharine, I will have another trawl round,

Meliora
RIP 1927-2018

i've found the census... it's a bit of a coincidence that he should live so near a Rossiter family.

it would be agreat help to you i think to order the marriage cert as you would know the occupations of the couple and fathers  and their names.

have you got the ref ?

Hi DJ / Meliora,

Thanks for your posts.

I have Thomas Rossiter & his wife Martha Treasure in my database. I don't have Catherine listed as one of the children but as Thomas & Martha married circa 1824 it's likely that Catherine was their first child.

I would have expected her to be in the 1841 Census and would be grateful for any census details you have please.

Best wishes
