Ann I am sorry you are offended. If you read my original post you will find that I stated EXACTLY what I had which was effectively James and Maria and their three daughters right through to their deaths. But I had very little about the boys James and Alfred. So I asked if anyone could fill the gaps specifically with those two. And all that has been found is all about James, Maria and their three daughters and nothing about the boys all of which, as I say, I already knew.
I am one of the first to acknowledge the efforts the help of researchers and try in my limited fashion to help anyone else.

So please accept my apologies - and everyone else thanks for your efforts but the gaps I am trying to fill are still gaps.

Ann, I had all that info previously so some of the info found has confirmed what I already knew.

Margee - it's a possibility. As I say I can't find James, Maria, Sarah, James and Alfred in 1841 (Maria junior born in July). I find them as a complete family unit in 1851 - Alfred is 13. And then he disappears completely. The problem is that Marchant/Merchant is a very common name in Wiltshire.

Could this be Alfred?

Married to Maria Trollop - all five children theirs. Can find Sarah, Maria and Rebecca's christenings all at St James Trowbridge but not the boys. Maria died in Cardiff early in 1859 and by December, James had married Selina Perkins.

Maria (Jnr) married Lewis Llewellyn
Sarah married William Pratt
Rebecca married James Gale.
I can find all of them up to their deaths

It's just the two sons I cannot find.


:-)

Are the younger children from a second marriage ?

GO TO LAST POST

I am trying to fill in some gaps. My great grandmother Maria O'Connor Marchant was born in Trowbridge in 1841. I first find the family in 1851 census at Mortimer Street Trowbridge - I cannot find them in 1841
James Amed Marchant (transcribed Merchant) 1808 (1809)
Maria 1808
Sarah 1827 (1826)
James 1828
Alfred 1838
Maria 1842 (1841)
Rebecca 1845 (1844)

The dates in brackets are the birth records I have found. I can track James and Maria right through to their deaths as I can with the three daughters. But the two sons are an enigma.

James married Mathilda Martin (I believe) in April 1851 and they had a daughter Mary Ann ca 1852. Mathilda died in 1859 and in 1861 Mary Ann Marchant (adopted) is living with Sarah Pratt nee Marchant in Cardiff. I cannot find James in 1861 but in 1871 he is lodging with Rebecca Gale nee Marchant in Cardiff. And that's the last I find of him.

Alfred is even more of an enigma - after 1851 census nothing.

Can anyone help?
