Bloomin’ ‘ec - I had to go away and do other things, and look what happened. Well done MM, I prescribe a lay down in a darkened room with something alcoholic

 

In 1841 I can only find a Thomas Elliot in Barrington
Grace Elliot b1796
Thomas Elliot b1823
Eliza Elliott b1831

Thanks Ann, a coffee will suffice

 

I might be getting somewhere (not sure where though)

Bap at Barrington 6/1/1822 Thomas Ellott mother Grace a spinster.
I only have access to the transcription, so nothing to say if reputed father was William Dade

 

Why do I do it?

I thought I might look for William Dade in 1841, who did I find but Hugh Dade and wife Hannah (in Barrington - where-else?) and 3 children and who are they grouped with - Absolom Male b1755
HO107 piece954 book1 folio5 pages 4 & 5
On page 4 is one ruth Dabinett age 59

Hugh Dade bap Barrington 29/4/1807 son of William and Anne Dade

I am off for that coffee and to cook dinner, I need to try and sort out my thinking

 

I need some whisky

 

This baptism was in Ilchester and Hugh was a shoemaker.

 

I'm rather touched by the fact that Grace Elliott got herself baptised in Barrington at the age of 73, the year before she died

 

The FreeReg transcription for William Elliott Dade's baptism, taken from the Parish Register, has a note "possibly also known as Dade"

 

I have gone right back to the beginning, trying to get my head around this all.
I went back to the bapt of William Elliott s/o Caroline Rosina and something caught my eye - look at the bapt below


Are we now looking at a clerical error when the register was written up?
Should William Elliott have the name Dabinett, not William s/o May Moncter(?)

 

I believe so. He has the middle initial D in at least one census


I'm sure he fits into the picture somewhere, just not clear where right now

 

Grace Elliott had several other children, William, Sarah, Emily and Eliza. Don't know if they were William Dade's children also. I might try and trace them tomorrow

 

I would have thought William's father was from one of the Dabinett families or why else give him that name,
If I have it straight
William Dabinett Elliott is s/o Caroline Rosina b1859
William Elliott/Dade is s/o Thomas Elliott/Nett*/Dade and Louisa Slade b1859
We have both with their respective families on 1861 census

But we only have one birth reg Langport Dec qtr 1859 for William Dabinett Elliot

* the more I look at this I think this should be Eliott, and the incumbent got it wrong when writing it up

 

I take this back
Look at this bapt in Barrington May 9th 1859


I still cannot find a birth reg though

 

Yes, I have come to conclusion that it is Ilett and not Nett

 

I would expect no less from this lot - here are the other children's bap
Sam 1860

Emily 1864

Walter 1862

Jane Harriet (is this Eliza?) 1866

 

Talk about not see for looking - I never noticed that baptism under the one for William Elliott to Caroline Rosina

And what a bunch of baptisms - you pay your money and you pick your surname. I’ll have a rummage through the papers tomorrow and see if I can find anything where/why all the names are somehow connected.

 

Birth reg Sam Illett Dec qtr 1860 Langport 5c 449 mmn Slade
Walter Illiot June qtr 1862 Langport 5c 501 mmn Slade
Emily Elliott March qtr 1865 Langport 5c 529 mmn Slade
Eliza Elliott Sept qtr 1867 Langport 5c 445 no mmn given
I cannot find a birth reg for Jane Harriett 1866 nor a bap for Eliza 1867

 

Just starting looking at this thread....
It’s all yours
