Thanks Glen I think her christening may have been at an independent chapel somewhere as some of the warner family were independent and theyw ere all very close knit in N Petherton and area. Still I will just have to keep looking. thanks all for your help. Ann Glos

That explains my confusion too because I could prove Hannah ELSON married Charles CLOUTER. I agree that Robert's mother is Hannah JENNINGS. Can't help with her birth but all clear now. Glen.

Goodness, I am sooo sorry i read that through a couple of times and missed it too. Robert's Mother is the Hannah Jennings I am trying to locate for a birth. Sorry for misleading people. Ann Glos

This is what confused us! Fact:- I know My Gtx2 Grandfather Robert WARNER married a Hannah in 1840. Jan

Glen, Robert didn't marry a Hannah. Hannah was his Mother. Robert married Mary Ann Blackmore. I don't at the moment have a problem with Robert's marriage. It is his Mother's birth that I have a problem with and also which John Warner and Hannah were Robert's parents

Are you saying that Robert married Hannah ELSON or was there another Hannah on page 673? Glen.

Hannah Warner married William webber March quarter 1841 Taunton. Another certificate to send for!!! I think in my mind I am now sure that 'my' Hannah was Hannah Jennings. Next problem sort out which Jennings family she comes from!!! Ann Glos

Helen Thanks for that list, you found more than we did and it is the first time I have seen the second Hannah 1841 which is obviously I would think the one in the 1841 census. With so many duplicated names I agree that there has to be two familie. I think a visit to the RO is a must when I can get there. Lyla, I am so pleased that you seem to have come to the same conclusion as I have re marianne jennings being MiL, and last night in bed it came to me that hannah webber was probably nee warner. did the 'views' come from ancestry? if so I will check them out. Please don't think i am ignoring you if there is a gap in my repkies now. i have a housefull and it is difficult to get on here. Ann Glos

Thank you all so much for your replies, sorry for the long delay but only just managed to get on PC as Grandson staying in my office for the weekend. First Glen The marriage cert is a photocopy of a handwritten one. The marriage was in december quarter. Have to look back at other questions. Ann

1840 marriage from freebmd: Marriages Dec 1840 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BLACKMORE Mary Ann Taunton 10 673 ELSON Hannah Taunton 10 673 WARNER Robert Taunton 10 673 Any help? Jan

Is your copy of Robert's marriage cert. a photocopy or a handwritten one? Who was the Hannah he married & which quarter of 1840 was it? I have a theory but need this extra info.

If you check the IGI, Batch No P002591 you can see that there must have been two John & Hannah Warners having children at the same time in North Petherton. These are the children but you will need to see copies of the original PRs to see if you can distinguish which family they belong to. John 1810 John 1811 Hannah 1812 Abraham 1812 Robert 1815 Susannah 1816 Jonathan 1817 Jephthah 1818 Robert 1819 Christian 1820 (a girls name at that time) Hannah 1821 Jonathan 1823 Sarah 1825 Jonathan 1825 James 1827 Samuel 1828 Mary 1830

Hi Phoenix, yes I have been trying all that but my problem is the number of John warners and Hannah Warners in N Petherton. I think you are right that she was a widow in 1841. will continue to work on that, ann Glos

Sorry, should have said N Petherton Somerset. thanks for the Hannah J marriage on IGI will check that out. Ann Glos

Hi Ann Like you, I shouldn't be here! Is it possible that John had died by 1841 and that Hannah you found is a widow already? It is possible that a thatcher might be described as a labourer, but surely not a shoemaker? Do you have access to parish records? I'd be looking for a burial and/or death for John pre 1841 and if it's a village not a town, the baptisms as well for the occupations of all the Johns and Hannahs.

Where else can I look. I am still chasing Warners! Fact:- I know My Gtx2 Grandfather Robert WARNER got married in 1840. Fact:- From his marriage certificate I know his Father was John WARNER a Labourer Fact:- The witnesses were Hannah WARNER and William WEBBER From IGI I see his parents were John and Hannah Warner. Fact in the 1841: William Webber 20 Hannah Webber 20 Marianne Jennings 95 Thomas Grundy 20 James Cottle 20 Hannah Warner 50 Fact in 1851 Hannah Warner (W) age 61 is living with Robert Warner and Marianne Warner. In the 1841 I can find two John WARNERS with wives Hannah, one is a thatcher, one is a shoemaker. On a Japeth WARNER’s marriage cert in 1845 his father John WARNER is a shoemaker. How likely is it that a labourer would become a shoemaker ? One John WARNER married a Hannah HATREE In 1841 Jane Musgrave who was the mother of Hannah HATREE is living with the John WARNER who is a shoemaker and his family including his wife Hannah. She is then Jane READING (she married John Reading) and is 75. Fact I have a death cert for a Hannah WARNER age 85 in 1869, the informant was Joanna Warner. Japeth WARNER, the son of John WARNER who has Jane READING in the 1841 census married a Joanna so this leads me to believe it was Hannah ne HATREE who died I also have a death cert for a John WARNER aged 92 in 1865 the informant is a Mary LANG I have no idea who she is. I can’t remember where but from somewhere I was told that John WARNER, Robert’s father, married a Hannah JENNINGS. What should I be looking for next? What will tell me exactly which Hannah and which John were Robert’s parents? Or are you as confused as me? Ann Glos

It is my WARNER family again - sorry! Please see below. If I don't answer immediately it is because I have visitors expected any time. Ann Glos
