Hi

Looking at another GR member tree they have James Hartnell c1791 married to Anna. But his tree shows all the children born in the 1830's and no William.

My William Hartnell was born 1816 Pitminster, father James Hartnell. If anyone can help find who the mother was to William I would truly appreciate it. Shame William married in 1837 as he missed out on the 1841 Census with his family and I don't know any other sibling of his. I have searched the net high and low trying to find something on William. If anyone has better research skills than me I would be really grateful.

Regards Kaye

Hi

Looking at the 1861 Census for Jas Hartnell this could be a likely as his son William resided in Sampford Arundel.

Does the 1861 and 1851 Census for Jas Hartnell or James Hartnell give their residence as 'Holbanes House'? and that Jas/James was a farmer.

Thanks Kaye

Hi DiddyDoris, Thank you very much for the Census. I just don't know. I will hang onto this information as it could well be one of these. Can someone please help with 1841 Census for James Hartnell in Somerset.

If someone has CD's or parish info would they be please look for parish register information for the birth of William in 1816 in Pitminster and this might tell me who William's mother was / who James' wife was.

Thank you again, regards Kaye

Hi

Can someone please find this family. I have only these details.

I'm looking for James Hartnell who may have been born around 1790 possibly from the Pitminster Somerset region. He had a son William Hartnell born 1816 who was baptised at St Mary's Church in Pitminster. William's marriage certificate in 1869 states James is a farmer but deceased. William's first marriage was in 1837 just before free bdm records. William Hartnell married Mary Anne Wensley on 29 March 1837 in St John's Church Wellington Somerset
.

If anyone can help with James' family that would be great. Thank you. Unfortunately I don't know as yet the name of James' wife.

Regards Kaye
