Walter Jennings Heathfield 1851 to 1871
« on: Monday 12 September 05 20:37 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I am looking for Walter Jennings in Heathfield or district. By 1881, he had married and moved to Glamorgan:
Walter   JENNINGS   Head M M   30 Gardener Heathsfield,
Somerset, England   High St   Llandaff,
But he probably wasn't married by 1871.

BTW There are at least 3 Walter Jennings born in the Milverton area between 1848 and 1851.
The other two are known to be related to me.
One moved to Exmoor and one to Wellington (Little Jurston farm).
Jennings (Somerset), Sievers (London and Netherlands), Richier (Netherlands & Germany), Chappuzeau(Germany),Garner (London) , Smith (Guernsey), Brand (London and Germany),  Burney (Liverpool & London), Oakley (Wales), Creek (Wales & Devon)

Thanks for that.
I think this Walter is the one who moved to Wellington, but it is still very useful. The Alfred in your list is definitely my great-grandfather.

Thanks Alli,
There are the two which I already know about.
James is my great-great- grandfather, and William is his uncle who moved to Exmoor.
It is the third one I am looking for!

Hi Pavane,

Could this be the family in 1851? 

NORTON FITZWARREN
HO107/1923  Folio 217 Page 21
Way Hamlet
JENNINGS CHARLES 31 Ag. Lab. Heathfield
Sarah 29 Bishop Lydiard
Eliza 4 Kingston
Ann 2 Norton Fitzwarren, Som.
PALMER Charles Lodger 22 Ag. Lab. Spaxton

Next household:
JENNINGS William 40 Gardener Heathfield
Jane 38 Laundress Devon Thoverton
James 11 Hillfarrance, Som.
Mary Ann 7 Norton Fitzwarren, Som.
Folio 218 Page 22
JENNINGS William 4 Norton Fitzwarren, Som.
Walter 1 Norton Fitzwarren, Som.

I have also found a Walter Jennings in Monk Nash, Glamorgan 1871 born 'Morton' which I think may be Norton.  I will post the details in case you need them.

Debbie  ;)

Two servants in the household of Daniel Thomas (Farmer).  I've included another servant as he appears to be from the same area as your Walter so I wonder if they travelled to Wales for work together?

Mount Pleasant, Monk Nash, Glamorgan, 1871 

James Cornish 21 Hillfarrance, Somerset, Farm Servant 
Walter Jennings 20 Morton, Somerset, Farm Servant

RG10/5418 Folio 50 Page 12

Hope this helps

Debbie

Hope I'm not too late to join in!   The Walter Jennings that you are looking for is my great grandfather!   He was indeed the Walter listed in the 1851 census as living in the Dairy House at Way House in Somerset.   Charles Jennings lived in the same Dairy House, so I would hypothesize that he is a brother to William Jennings. Walter's father.
I have the marriage certificate for Walter Jennings and Harriet Hinde in Wales, and it shows his father as William a Gardner. 
I do know of the other two Walters, one in Milverton and one in Essex, and wondered how they are connected.   "Walter" seems to have been an important family name at the time. 
I'd be interested in communicating with other Jennings.
