Boit Family History

[allenb750]

Looking for any information on on BOIT (or BOYTE or BOITE) or other variations within Wellington, Somerset, or surrounding areas. Births, marriages or deaths, or any census.
I have my great great grandfather James BOITE on the 1851 census, aged 63, born Wellington, and BLIND
His wife Elizabeth, aged 64 born WELLINGTON.
Sons
Thomas 21 born Wellington
Robert 19 Born Wellington
Samuel 19 Born Wellington my great grandfather, possible (?) twin to Robert
Also Hannah TOTTLE, Lodger, Widow age 93 Pauper & former Washerwoman. No birthplace, but by age possibly was Elizabeth's mother.
Also Mary CROCH??, lodger 20 Factory Worker born Wellington
Also Mary BOIT, lodge 4 born WALES, possibly Niece?


Also looking for BOIT and variations in the Keighley, Addingham, Skipton and surrounding areas of Yorkshire.

Hi,
These entries are from the BVRI but do not give the normal information I'm afraid. It looks as though they may be yours. Samuels age is out from the data you quoted. Confirmation of this would verify this info if you think you know which parish to search.
Also found some Tottles. Hope this may help. Frances

What is the BVRI?

Anyway, thanks for the information you have posted.
It would appear obvious that Samuel's age has either been entered incorrectly on the 1851 census or has been transposed incorrectly.

I have him on the GRO as having died in Mch qtr 1873 at age 39. This means he was born 1833/4. This therefore ties in with you information.

Can you supply parishes as well? And can you supply marriages and deaths? Or can you direct me accordingly.

All of the information has been of tremendous help.

My sincere thanks to you.

I am sorry normally the parish/area is given it is very unusual not to have it entered. By your posting I would think Wellington does seem likely. I do not know if their Parish Records have been transcribed. Maybe someone local will see this and be able to tell you.
The BVRI stands for the British Vital Records Index, (incomplete) it contains births/christenings and some marriages. I could not find any that ties in with your data, sorry.
Regards, Frances

Sorry I meant to say that it might be a good idea to look for the local Family History Society. Frances
