What happened to Mansfield SUMMERTON?
« on: Friday 26 December 08 07:46 GMT (UK) »
Hello all from a very warm Boxing Day in Adelaide.

I am seeking help in finding what happened to little Mansfield Summerton who was Christened in Shipston On Stour 23 April 1839.
Parents named as Gayton and Ann.
He appeared 1841 UK Census as a 2 year old  living with Mother Ann SOMERTON.[sic]
Ann's occupation recorded as 'Shoemaker's wife' but this deleted - maybe as they knew she was not md to Gayton Mansfield SUMMERTON but to Charles COLLINGRIDGE still at that time.

The parents emigrated to Tasmania after their 1842 marriage in Banbury.
I know that the little one was not with them on the ship's list
I have not been able to find a death in the UK for Mansfield.
Can anyone help find what happenede to this wee little one? :'(

Was he baptised Gayton Mansfield like his father?

Kind regards, Arranroots  ;)

Hi Aaranroots...
Thanks for the assistance but that little one was Mansfield's 6 year old brother, named Gayton after his father.
