C1841 Fillis Reg in Pewsey?
« on: Friday 02 January 15 00:30 GMT (UK) »
Happy New Year to Everyone on the Board :)

I'm currently researching distant cousins, and came across John a shopkeeper & Mary Spackman of High Street Pewsey in C1841.(piece 1180 14 folio 25 page 13)

After the family the entry reads fillis reg female age 15,born in county, Can anyone tell me if this means daughter/son of the king and if so what were they doing there?

Could Fillis Reg actually be a variation of the spelling of Phyllis and the last name Rex? She is down as a female servant in the occupation column and born in Wiltshire.

There are a few people on the censuses and in BMD's with the surname Reg but not a Fillis/Phyllis except for the 1841 census.

That makes a lot of sense crisane.

I came across this right after I'd seen something about the family having royal connections ...
