Charity Yeoman was born the 2nd qtr. 1863 in Wanstrow, Somerset to James Yeoman and his 2nd wife, Ann Gould. She was baptised on July 5, 1863. I believe the 1871 census is incorrect. There is a 7 year old Charles Yeoman, son , as written by the enumerator... I have a list of all the family baptisms, there are not any for a Charles and I cannot find a birth for Charles in Wanstrow/Frome ED3b/household56/piece2428/folio28/page9 In 1881 17 year old Charity is working as a servant in Kingston on Thames, Surrey for the Goodfellow family ED7/piece833/folio 21/ pg.36. Now, what has happened to Charity? Is this her? Did she marry as Charity Yeaman( likely error on part of person indexing marriage ) and marry either Henry Barnes or Jabez Young in the last qtr. of 1884 in Kingston, Surrey? I can't find her or a death or a certain marriage anywhere after 1881. For anyone looking the Charity Yeoman who married in Devon is not her....that Charity is much older and it is a 2nd marriage. Help, I need Charity

Oh, you monkey face....thank you... I didn't look on there with the groom's name, just the bride's and then I didn't spell Cherity like that. .tsk, tsk... Can you keep up the magic and find them in 1891? Insert praying hands
Sue I am trying to post a copy of the marriage register (looks like a photocopy, so not the best quality) unfortunately my computer is being a bit unresponsive and then the Chimpo got there first. I can add that the groom is a widower (Previous marr. Dec 1874 Kingston RD probably --edit: it's on FamilySearch to Emma Toone 16 Dec 1874 same church, looks like same Jabez yob 1838) Haven't managed to find in 1891 as yet, but will have another go Anyway here goes:
Think I have found her in 1911 Sep 1899 Wandsworth, a Charity Young marries a George Calver [or a Henry Blair] 1911 in Streatham is a Charity Calver b 1866 Wanstrow (though transcribed as Raw on Ancestry) Somerset with George Calver c 1863, Watton Norfolk ref: RG14; Piece: 2327 -- this is an incomplete ref, because Ancestry have combined two households -- street address 12 christchurch road brixton [if you can't find it I will send you an image]
I think she married again as a widow in 1899 Anc have the marriage - 9/7/1899 at All Saints Battersea George Calver age 37 batchelor bricklayer s/o James Labourer Charity Young age 34 widow d/o James Young dec (surely an error?) Labourer Witnesses Edward and Elizabeth Tibbles Both give their address as 9 Queen's Road 1901 Census RG13/447/66/63 - 143, Beaufoy Road, Battersea George Calver b1862 Walton Green Norfolk - plumber's labourer Charity Calver b1866 Froome, Somerset Could not find her or Jabez in 1891
her second marriage, she is a widow, but you can see that they have given her father her married name
On the 1891 census there is a Jabez Young age 50 - marital status and pob unknown, a porter - lodging 25 Great Ann St, St Philip and St Jacob Out, Bristol RG12/1983/127a/23 There is a death of Jabez Young Dec qtr 1898 Barton Regis 6a 103 age 62
Oh, thankyou! All this while I was making supper which I have to go and eat now. Will be back in awhile and will go over everything and add it to my tree..... Will be back with more of her siblings that I am having trouble with, I am sure I have got through a lot of the family, all siblings of my hubby's gr. grandfather, but lots more to go.
For the 1911 census that Muggy found the ref no is RG14 PN2327 SN295 address 12 Catherstone Road (FMP transcription - Christchurch on schedule!), Brixton. They have been married 12 years, no children.
On the marriage lines for Charity's first marriage, her Father was incorrectly written as Young also but crossed out & changed to Yeoman (her Father's occ, also looks like yeoman) Chimp beat me to the draw, then I had to go to brekky, lovely it were. Now pressing business in next room.
