Hi, I am trying to find out any information about my Great, Great, Great, Great Grandfather,Hungerford Whitfield, who lived in Oaksey,Wiltshire in the 1840/1850's.He had a son also called Hungerford, but I am not descended from him, but rather from his daughter, Grace who was possibly an unmarried mother at the time of my ancestor's birth.I read somewhere on the net that Hungerford may have been married several times(?) but I can't find any information anywhere on this.
The Wilts County Register of Persons charged with Indicabe Offences shows on the 18th October, 1842 he was imprisoned for one month for assaulting a Police Officer, I should like to find out more about this.
Basically, if you go into Oaksey Church Graveyard, there is a Gravestone for Mary, wife of Hungerford who died in 1846 aged 53 and there are several other Gravestones to other Whitfields which are virtually unreadable although I can make out a Thomas aged 72.
I have also read of a Hungerford Whitfield in Poole Keynes a while ago, is he the same person?Poole Keynes is close to Oaksey.
Can anyone help me work out any of this or point me in the right direction? I am sorry to be so vague but I am clearly out of my depth here. Many thanks Barnsey.
