Their is this one (different spelling) might be worth following through!

hi,
yes there seems to be alot of us in west winch and thats proving a problem too me, being a newbie is so tough. especaially when the family are so big in such a small village placing them correctly is proving very difficult.
i myself live just 3miles from west winch and many of these places are still lived in today!!
why is every male john or william and nearly every woman is sarah this doesnt help my frazzled brain at all!! ha ha

hi LfW,
thanks for that...
i think thats them as i know he had a brother james who moved to oz and done very well for himself. now what im confused about is on 1841 and 1851census john the father and jane seem to change there birth years. am i reading that correctly??
tasha x

thanks k,
this is too much for my brain to cope with i think. lol

Tasha

In 1841 ages were mostly rounded up/down to the nearest 5. This could explain the difference.

Regards
LfW

ah i see, just added them to my tree. finally got back to the 1700s. yippee!!!!!!!!!
now next thing is jane 1804 maiden name and how do i find out if they were born at west winch or is that impossible.
sorry im prob making your brain do flips like my own!
regards,

In 1851 all the family are down as born West Winch. John Snr is a Turnpike labourer, John Jnr a labourer.

You will need to search parish records for John and Janes's marriage

And it seems likely you need to seek two marriages as Jane is somewhat young to be the mother of all the children
First marriage seems to be
John Aylmer to Sar Ann Reyner 6/11/1834 St George Tombland

You need to buy the certs. You could be following the wrong line if you dont have the proof.

yes i think the B.Cs are needed on this.
thanks again for looking guys,
