[emjsw]

Hi there,

I wondered if anyone could help me please as I can't make out what relationship** Charles Sweetland/Sweatland (spelt Splatt on ancestry!!!) b 1855 Churchstanton, has to the head of the house and also what the head of the house's surname is.

** it could be servant or grandson but I am not sure.

If you are able to decipher it that would be amazing

Thanks for reading my post.

Best wishes,
Emma

I read Serv.

It looks like a ‘Do’ for ditto - he’s a servant.

The head looks to be Luke Dimond.

I agree - and Luke Dimond married Martha Pope, Dec qtr 1866 Honiton.

Great, thank you so much and for looking up the maiden name of Martha, much appreciated.

Thank you everyone for your time and effort.  This boy is a mystery as he vanishes after 1871, he was the son of Nathaniel Sweetland and Louisa nee Coles. This was the last record of him and now I know a bit more. Many thanks.
