That ties in with data I have in the census for 1851. I'll have to add her marriage certificate to the list to buy

Unfortunately, she's not on VRI. There were two pairs of Haberfields (on VRI) having kids in Brizzle at that time - Thomas+Mary, John+Keziah.

Thanks for your comments. There is a Charity Habberfield married in Bristol 1854. The IGI has her born about 1833. I have some details of Bristol 1851 Census's and there's no Charity but there is a Charlotte

Charity is certainly a name in its own right, my own family has a Charity who was known as "Aunt Chat". In Charles Dickens' novel "Martin Chuzzlewit", the Pecksniff daughters are [inaptly] named Charity and Mercy and called Cherry and Merry. I think the tradition of calling girls by names of virtues is originally puritan. When and where are you looking for your Charity's birth?

Faith, Hope, Charity, Patience, Prudence etc, all names.

Was this always a name in it's own right or was a nickname. I have a marriage of a Charity Habberfield, but no sign of a birth
