SALTER, POWNEY & EATWELL in Calne

[Arranroots]

I have just started looking at these names, with some success back as far as 1871 census.

I wondered whether anyone else is researching the same?

Henry SALTER (b ?) married Mary Anne EATWELL (b 1832) in Sep 1852 in Calne and had children: Ann 1856, William 1858, John 1860 Henry 1865 and James 1872.  All born Calne.

Fanny and William EATWELL are in Calne in 1871 - are these Mary's parents?

Henry SALTER's son Henry marries Mary Ann POWNEY (b 1867 Falkland Islands) in Sep 1889.  Their children are Hubert S 1890, Mildred 1891, Ivan 1893, Roland H 1898 and Bernard 1900.  Again all b Calne.

Would be interested to hear from you if you recognise any of these names, or can help with early censuses.

Thanks

1851 census Calne living in Cow Lane,  I found Henry Salter 24 Ag. Lab. Bromham, Wilts.
He is living in the same household as
SALTER George 44 Drover & Ag. Lab. Bromhill*
Eliza 43 Bromham, Wilts.
Ralph 13 At Home Bromham, Wilts.
Jane 11 Scholar Bromham, Wilts.
William 9 Scholar Bromham, Wilts

*Bromhill is possibly Bremhill which is near Calne

I did not see a Mary Ann Eatwell who was of an age to be married a year later, the only one was aged 4!  There was also a Mary Eatwell aged 9

Hope this helps in a small way
regards
Mary

Thank you for that Mary! 

I wonder whether Henry and George are brothers, or if George  & Eliza are his parents?

I'm amazed that EATWELL is such a popular name!  I don't suppose you saw Fanny & William at all?  Haven't got around to looking for a birth for her yet.

This is a distant twig of my family, but intriguing none the less and I appreciate your help.

Thanks again,

 Hi Arran...Cheryle.f here .Well  George aged 24 and Henry aged 14 were not anywhere near Calne in the 1841 census . No Salter families to be seen and no Eatwell families either!!!! I've only looked at Calne itself mind you not on the outskirts yet. I'll keep you posted if i find anything.     best wishes cheryle.f

Hi Cheryl.f!

Thank you also for your time. Much appreciated. 

I wonder if they are in Bremhill or Bromham? 

From Mary's info, I think George would be 34 (or a very young father!! LOL)

I'm off to look up some births...

 Yes sorry Arran....just trying to see if you were paying attention!at this late hour. I can subtract 10 from 44 normally and come up with 34 but when you've been hunting for names that seem familiar to you for hours anything becomes possible.
I'll keep my eyes open anyway. Good Hunting! cheryle.f

Hi Arran

Unfortunately, the 1851 census that I have seen is just a transcription and it doesn't give relationships  and so cannot help you there.   

As to the Eatwell name, it is very common in the area of Wiltshire in which you are looking, so Mary A could be from any of the contiguous parishes.  She may not be with her parents either,  as she could have been working away from home. Have you found her  on a later census?
regards
Mary

Hi Arran, me again!!
How about this -  1841 census Studley. Bremhill. (Which is near Calne)

George Salter, 35, ag lab. born in County
Eliza Salter 34, born in County
Henry Salter 14 born in County
Elizabeth Salter 12, born in County
Harriett Salter 11 born in County
Ralph Salter 3 born in County.

Looks as though George could be Henry's brother
I did look in Bromham which is where Henry said he was born, but there were no Salters there in 1841. 
bye, Mary

Mary, I am so impressed!    Thank you very much.

I have been unable to save the census I found for Mary Anne Eatwell, but I have her on all of them from 1871 if I remember correctly.

At different dates she has lodgers:

1881: a Fanny Eatwell b 1814 Monkton and

1871: an Elizabeth Eatwell b 1795 Tytherton (?)

living with her.  No relationship is given, but I am surmising that they are elderly relatives and possibly one is her mother.  Fanny is with husband William in Calne in 1871.

The ages of the Henry & George SALTER you have in 1841 is proportionate to those in 1851.  Could they not be father and son? 

Thanks again
