Name errors in South Brent
« on: Thursday 05 June 14 19:10 BST (UK) »
Hello,

I hope some one can clarify this particular problem for me!
 I have  checked out previous censuses (1881) But cannot find a connection to the baptism name of
William Gillard Kingscote the nearest I can get is from 1891
William Gerald Kingwell,
Parents names are similar!

Any help appreciated

In 1881 the family are correctly indexed as Kingwell but Mary is shown as May C

Per freebmd

Births June qtr 1886   
William Gillard Kingwell       Totnes    5b   192

The Totnes registration district included South Brent

http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/districts/totnes.html

Also from freebmd

Marriages December qtr 1870   
Mary Catherine Amery   Kingsbridge    5b   368    
John Richard T Kingwell  Kingsbridge    5b   368

Quote
John R J    Kingwell

The 1891 shows him as John R T - not J

If you check the full 1891 image - William's second name is slightly illegible hence the transcription as Gerald instead of Gillard

Quote
FABRAM SPARKER A Kingwell Aged 1yr b1890 (DEVONSHIRE) 

freebmd shows him as Fabyan Sparke A

Thanks for that information Carole, it looks as though I can eliminate this family from my ongoing research into the Kingscot/t/e families.

Much Obliged, Artscot
