William Vass

[Kezzza]

Hi,
I am trying to determine if William Vass that died in 1868 in Easthampstead, Berkshire is the same William Vass that was baptised in 1816 in Crondall, Hampshire.

I know that William (d.1868) was born about 1815 in Hazeley Heath, Hampshire which makes sense that they are one of the same but I just need that last bit of evidence to be able to confirm that it is correct.

Does anyone have any advice that may be able to help please?

Thank you,
Kez

Was he married or single?  The informant on the death could be a family member you can tie in.

Where was he living on the 1861 census?

Hi
The 1841-1861 censuses have him with wife Ann Woodison.
They married 12 Oct 1835and their  daughter Sarah was born 1836.
She is a widow in 1871.

The marriage might have witnesses that tie in with the family back at Candall and his parents William and Sophia Vass

He was married at the time of his death to Ann Woodason (abt1817-1897), I purchased his death certificate, but unfortunately, it produced more questions than answers, the informant with a Charlotte Woodason, who was present at death. (I'm still trying to work out the connection between Ann and Charlotte.)

On the 1841, 1851 and 1861 Census, they lived in Easthampstead, Berkshire.

They were married on 12 Oct 1835 at St Michael & St Mary Magdalene Church in Berkshire, and he is also buried here.

The death record would appear to apply to the 1816 birth - although age is often suspect on records?

Thank you for looking - It does appear that the death matches the 1816 baptism. I did notice that some people have put those two records together in their tree thinking it was my William Vass. Another reason I am wary about this record.

Sorry I missed your reply.

Do the marriage certificates state the names of the parents during this time period?

Also, how am I able to access the full certificate?

(sorry new to English records  )
