Potty - the transcription I've got says Boot intur and Publican. I Get the publican bit- have googled the address and it's still a pub! but Boot Intur was odd. Riveter makes sense -but odd combination!

already in Hampshire in 1841, went home to marry?


Name: Benjamin Strong
Age: 20
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1821
Gender: Male
Where born: Hampshire, England

Civil Parish: St Mary
Hundred: Southampton Town
County/Island: Hampshire
Registration District: Southampton

James Strong 25 school master
Ann Strong 30
Harriet Strong 2
John Strong 70 labourer
Betty Strong 55
Harriet Strong 35
Benjamin Strong 20 printer

they all say born in county, but one never knows, but occupations don't seem a good match

( Ancestry's common mistranscription is 'Shong' but I don't see one of them to match either )

Oooh! thanks. Thats good because there are links with Okehampton too already. May be complete coincidence but thats a great help thanks. Will try and get digging round free bmd to build up the families.

Thank you :-)

Yes! I think thats all him and children because the age of James matches too.Thanks Joonie and Margee

Boot intur? Is that James's occupation in 1881? Difficult to read on image but looks like Boot Riveter &?????

I have just found this man - and trying to see if there is a connection to my Henry Strong who I think was in Portsea in 1879 when/where his wife died (Although I have the death cert there is still a little bit of a question over whether it is them). Henry was also born in Crediton .Devon like this Benjamin Strong. I am wondering if he may have been a relative as, as yet I have no idea why my Henry was at Portsea!
If anybody has access to these earlier ones of Benjamin I would be grateful as Library shut now till Thurs afternoon- and I'm working :(
