Sorry to desert you yesterday Deb
Henry was the first of Samuel's baptised 1812 Family Search C052551  he was the one I had on my tree being the father of Emma who then married onto our Bale line.
A fellow researcher G has contacted me asking about John Arnold basically because he can't understand the name change anyway John Arnold married twice 1 Jane BLIGHT and 2betsey BLIGHT daughter of Samuel Hookway
Their marriage is registered Dec qtr 1843 as John JURY his baptism name G has the certificate which says his father was John Arnold a bargeman after that they appear on censuses as ARNOLD 1851 HO107/1895 fo355 p3 I'll ask G for a copy of the certificate
G is the grandson of William on this census
I cant find him in 1841 either either as Jury or Arnold  G also mentiond Dury but I think that likely to be a mis read Jury

I wonder what the connection was between Jane and Betsey Blight  Were they sister in laws I wonder if its worth looking there and did he marry Jane as JURY its confusing from G's letter I'll pm you a copy

Hi Trees

On the 1851 , there is a daughter Jane Arnold, 14, b Monkleigh.... she must be the daughter from John's first marriage;

in 1841
Monkleigh
John ARNOLD, ag lab, 40
Anna 15 glover
Eliza 10
Jane 5
all born in county


oooooooooo look
IGI  EXTRACTED
ANNA ARNOLD JEWRY, d/o John Jewry and Anne
13 FEB 1825   Monkleigh

IGI EXTRACTED
Eliza Arnold d/o John and Ann
05 FEB 1832   Monkleigh

John JEWRY = ANN BERMAN
13 MAY 1824   Monkleigh


I can't see a marriage for John Arnold/Jury/Jewry to a Jane Blight on IGI.

MARY ANNE JEWRY

have found these extracted entries   for children of a John Arnold and JANE BLIGHT
THURSDA ARNOLD chr 08 NOV 1825   Bible Christian, Shebbear
Elizabeth ARNOLD chr 14 OCT 1823   ditto
JOSEPH ARNOLD chr  25 SEP 1827 ditto

I don't think this couple is 'your' couple.

So was Anna, Jane? or were there three wives I must take a moment to catch up with this

Hi Trees

I think 'your' John married Ann BERMAN ... the one who married Jane Blight is someone else .... or he could be John Jury's half brother ie; The 'real' son of John Arnold, Bargeman.

oh yes I think the presence of little Jane suggests that is the right coupling
Ooh how will G take this he was so sure about Jane BLIGHT
Maybe it would be chasing Betsey's BLIGHT husband to wash them out

When did Betsey Hookway marry Mr Blight? What was his name?
