Me again,

I've forgotten how to start messages as a new user, but how I got to you was to click on your name at the side of the postings and then there was an option of sending a personal message. If mine don't reach you perhaps you can try it?

My husband's 4xgt.grandmother was Elina Childs, b. 1778 in Melbury Osmond, daughter of Thomas & Margaret Childs.  Margaret's maiden name was also Childs, but I haven't yet found out if she and Thomas were (perhaps) cousins.  I also haven't been able to find Thomas's parents and wonder if any other Childs researchers had come across Thomas and could give me some clues, please?  I know about Thomas only because of Elina's baptism entry. 

Many thanks,
Gill

My 3x Grandfather, Benjamin Hurlstone (1803 - 1879) was born, married and died in Melbury Osmond. He married HANNAH CHILDS on 23 September 1823 at St Osmonds Church.

In the 1851 census for Melbury Osmond  Hannah is recorded as born in Sherborne and was 53 years old which gives a birth date of 1798. The 1841 census for Melbury Osmond states her age as 45 years old which gives a birth date of 1796.

However, I have been totally unable to find any Hannah Childs born in or around Sherborne.......is there anyone out there who may have some information regarding Hannah's birth and parents.

Regards
Jeff

Samuel's son Samuel born in 1774 married Elizabeth daughter of David born 1779, I am assuming they were cousins.

Hi Kelly

I am helping an elderly gentleman with his Childs family from Melbury Osmond.
His side is also descended through Samuel b 1774 who married Elizabeth in abt 1806.
Their son Samuel b 1809 married a Sarah in abt 1836....do you know what Sarah's maiden name was please? She was from Melbury Bubb.The period in the mid 1830's is missing from the OPC site DOH !!!

Many thanks

Carol

Sorry Jeff, I don't have any Hannah's in my information, I do hope you manage to find out about her.
Same for you Gill, I've had the same issues with the origins of earlier Childs in my tree, and a Childs marrying a Childs, but no idea of their relationship. There are so many in Melbury Osmond, I am sure they all connect somewhere!
