Hi antininus,

If it is William you are after he states he was born in Sourton Devon. There is an OPC for Sourton who has some records.

http://www.opcdev.co.uk/OPCindex.php

It may be worth contacting him to see if he can find a baptism for William. He has 3 Ching Baptisms in Sourton. Hope he can help. I notice by the Census Records for Devon your William is married to his first wife by 1841. I don't see the marriage listed on FreeBMD - Looks like it may have been just prior to civil registration dau Mary registered Mar 1838

Holsworthy

CHING William 25 Y Carpenter
CHING Harriett 25 Y
CHING Mary 3 Y
CHING Richard 2 Y
CHING Elizabeth 1 Month Y

Ching certainly not uncommon but in case it is of interest 3 doors away is James Ching age 70 Farmer and family

William is widowed by 1851 with 2 more children.

CHING Mary dau 13 b Holsworthy
CHING Elizabeth Dau 10 b Holsworthy Scholar
CHING Harriot Dau 8 b Holsworthy Scholar
CHING William Son 6 b Holsworthy

This looks like son Richard  Most conveniently lodging with some possible siblings of William

JEFFERY Richard Servant 17 Unm b Holsworthy House Servant

I did also note nearby in 1841 we have

CHING Richard 75 Y Farmer
CHING Ann 10 Y
+ 2 Servants and 2 labs

No joy locating James, Margaret and Ann in 1841

Please do contact the OPC for Sourton. I do hope one of the baptisms he has is William.

All the best............Kris

Back again,

Thought i would have another go - looking for these siblings young Richard is living with in 1851 and realise the connection seems to be with James 3 doors away from William in 1841

The household is

HO107/257/14 Folio 6 Page 7
Southcombe

CHING James 70 y farmer
CHING Ann 65 Y
CHING James 25 Y
CHING Ann 20 Y
CHING Richard 20 Y

some of this may connect - correct names although dates do not agree with census entries, I do note there are no Chings in Highampton in 1841

Baptisms Highampton to James and Ann

Ann 26 Oct 1806
James 8 Nov 1807
Margaret 13 Aug 1809

and even some earlier possibilities in Woolfardisworthy to James and Ann

John 5 Nov 1802
Charlotte 8 apr 1804

also baptisms Holsworthy to James and Ann

Richard 18 Feb 1820
Mary 8 Jan 1822
Charity 22 Jan 1824
Wilmot 28 Jan 1825

Cancel these last 4 -  there was a James bap Holsworthy 2 Nov 1797 to Richard and Wilmot which as age would be about right may account for these - they are in Ploughill in 1841, possible the father is Richard I found earlier still in Holsworthy.
