I'll try my best with this, but the image isn't very easy to read.

I think the youngest child is very possibly Mary age 8, looking further down the page there is another Mary listed.

Hope this may help

Hi Nicky, can you make out Ellens occupation, I think it looks like hair something.

 

[Nicky]

I have had another look at the occupation and it looks like Straw B Ma

possible Straw Basket Maker ??

Same for Emily age 23 too, if you look at the top of the page there is another person with the same occupation, and thats a little easier to read.

Great Thanks Nicki and Suepip,

This gives me something to go on. It seems to have taken me ages to find Ellen's maiden name .... and as to her marriage - that suddenly turned up in the FreeBMD data.

Now Booom! Boom! - a father, a mother, three sisters and a brother.

The occupations, whatever they are, make quite a change - most of my Bridport family are spinners and combers in the Rope-making trade.

Cheers

Hi Allibaker.
Thanks for that. I had forgotten that this thread was still open
In February through a query for Richards in Norton Sub Hamdon and Bridport on Curious Fox I amazingly received several pages of Richards ancestry, several pages of Woodwards and a few Jestys - which confirmed where I had got to so far and also provided at least another generation back.  Also I was able to confirm a couple of proposed marriages - as I had bought the certificates!

The Woodward triplets, Caroline, Ellen and James 16/7/1820 all died young, at 5 mths, 9 mths and 1 yr.

Emily Gollop Woodward married Thomas Richards
Walter Woodward married Charlotte Richards &
Ellen Woodward married George Frederick Richards ...... the three Richards were also siblings - the tree gets a bit convoluted at this stage!

Thanks
