Lansdown of High Littleton and later Bath

[HughC]

I'm a bit confused by all these Lansdowns and may be assigning some to the wrong line because the same forenames keep recurring.

My main interest is Joseph (1779-1867) who married Charlotte Venn in 1803 and moved to Bath.  Can anyone tell me anything about them and their children (and any spouses of those children): dates and places, occupations, or anything else worth recording?

Joseph Lansdown, a Tallow Chandler, and wife Charlotte had the following children baptised in High Littleton (all with surname Lansdown)

Henry Venn  bapt. 22 May 1804
Elizabeth Powell bapt. 14 September 1806
Charlotte bapt 2 October 1809
Joseph 2 October 1809
Thomas Powell born 1811 bapt 4 October 1814
Mary Venn bapt. 4 October 1814 aged 9 months
Lawrence born 22 August 1816 bapt. 26 May 1822
Edward born 1 February 1819 bapt. 26 may 1822

and Joseph, Charlotte and 3 granddaughters in 1861

I think Elizabeth married a William Hammond Haddack or Huddock in 1830. She died and was buried in Bath in 1831.

There is a burial for Joseph in Bathwick 27 April 1867 aged 88

Clever of you to find Elizabeth's death, emeltom (assuming it is her).

As far as I knew, she was married in Bathwick on 19 Apr. 1830 to William Hammond Haddock, landscape painter.  At least, I was told that was his occupation, but I haven't found confirmation anywhere.  He was buried at St Swithin, Walcot, on 6 June 1839, and I wonder why his wife would have been buried elsewhere -- different addresses given, as well as a different spelling for the surname, so there's still doubt, I feel.

I think Joseph born in December 1779, so was 87 when he died, but it was common enough to state age next birthday or "in his 88th year".
