Hello Martin,

Yes it's possible that William would have put his father's profession- even if his father was deceased. When people are married they are often asked what their father's profession is/ was- but not whether parent's are still living.

I am certain that the death for Richard is correct- there are no other Richard Pomeroy/ Pumroy/ Pomroy deaths that would fit in that area- plus he was registered as from Tancred St- which seems to be a constant thread for this family.

Hi there
Your research from yesterday is great. I've been looking for ages for this info.
Three years ago I made contact with a GR member who has links to Charles Pomeroy of Marylebone. At the time we coudn't resolve a lot of issues and abandoned the idea. I'll renew the contact now that you've put me on the right track.
One more question. William's wife Charlotte Harris was born in Stalbridge, Dorset, about 1813/15. According to her 1849 marriage Cert, her father was John Harris a "Gentleman" of Holne. I'm not quite sure of the spelling of Holne, however.
Any leads?
Many thanks for all your efforts
Martin
PS "Richards Death:
St James, Taunton
Richard Pomeroy: Tancred Street 2/ 4/ 1832 age 52 "
On William and Charlotte's Marriage Cert on 17 Apr 1849, Richard's profession is given as "Builder". This would follow on from the previously given "Joiner" as a related trade. However, would this been put on the Marriage Cert even if Richard was no longer alive?

Hi
I see you enjoyed your summer's day. William and Charlotte's family in Langport;
DARROW, Alice Harriet Daughter F 11 1850 Scholar

HABROUK, Arthur Son M 6 1855 Scholar
Correct name: Arthur Shewbrook Pomeroy. Also spelt Shubrook. I have his original Birth Cert

Too much to study now.
I'll browse through your efforts tomorrow. Results look great!
Thank you
Martin

Goodnight Helen

Christine- think I'm gonna join hubby on the sofa- think my brain's scrambled for tonight. Good work.
Catch up with this later.
Helen

Habrouk- is mistranscibed- this should be Shubrook/ or Sherbrook.

The name Francis comes from William's brother.

Which leaves Darrow- I think- I'm half way down a bottle of wine too- so bear with me!!

So where does Darrow come from?? Or are there more names you can see Christine??

Seems that William's mother, Elizabeth, lived a long life:

Deaths Dec 1870
Pomeroy Elizabeth 91 Taunton 5c 291

Need to confirm this through 1851/61 census- EDIT> confirmed in later message.

Making her birth c1779.

***The picture so far***:

Richard Pomeroy c1880 (possibly Cornwall) marries Elizabeth (Betty) Sherbrooks (c1779) in 1800 St James, Taunton.

They live at Tacred St, Taunton- They raise quite a large family- Francis Shawbrook 1801, Elizabeth 1802, Richard 1806, Eliza 1808, William 1809, Henry 1811, Edwin 1814-1814, Charles 1817.

Daughter Elizabeth marries William Hewett

In 1832 Richard dies- Elizabeth (Betty) continues to live at Tancred with her married (widowed??) daughter, Elizabeth Hewett. EDIT>> Daughter Elizabeth was widowed- her husband's death:
William Hewett: Tancred Street 14/ 12/ 1838 age 30

Elizabeth, tough cookie, lives to the ripe old age of 91- she dies 1870 in Taunton.

Richards Death:

St James, Taunton
Richard Pomeroy: Tancred Street 2/ 4/ 1832 age 52

Makes his birth approx 1780

oh dear- and this is William's brother, Edwin- died 1814:

Taunton St James
Edwin Pomeroy Tancred Street 12/ 9 /1814 Infant

If mother Elizabeth was widowed (or appeared to be) in 1841, and her last child was born 1817- Richard must have died between these dates. I'll have a look.

This is the marriage:

Taunton, St James
William Hewett Elizabeth Pomeroy 9 /12 /1828

Do we have the marriage for daughter Elizabeth?

Christine- sounds like you have your hands full.

That 1841 looks good to me!! Richard's Wife Eliziabeth, living with daughter Elizabeth.

I thought my household would be diminishing as my last bay turned 18 last month.
No Way.

My oldest married daughter husband and baby Alice came round to dinner


My second married daughter moved out and back again waiting for divorce with her young man

next son with girlfriend of few weeks but has hardly left here since

and next son still single at present

I need bigger house
bigger kitchen
bigger dining room
bigger garden

Hard work but fun

I cannot see Richard in 1841
I found one Elizabeth with children but names do not match.
This one is worth a look though
