From analysis of Parish registers - Cannington and Charlinch

<<<<<<<<All Hurley Baptisms at Cannington From ------ 29 10 1769 To 31 12 1834<<<<<<<<<<<<

John Hurley John/Hannah Cannington Lab 6 3 1831
Harriet Hurley John/Hannah Cannington Lab 30 6 1833
Dies ..........................Harriet Hurley Cannington 16 9 1833 3 months

For information only re Charlnch
CHARLINCH MARRIAGES 1789 TO 1834
While the Register for 1779 to 1838 has apparently been lost, I was able to decipher rather poor Bishop's Transcripts from fiche and this file has been made from that. Although there will be missed years due to transcripts being lost, I consider we probably have 70% or so of the missing data here.


No Hurley s shown

Charlinch Baptisms CHARLINCH BAPTISMS 1744 TO 1861

Mary Ann Hurley Samuel/Emma Charlinch Labourer 24 3 1833
Edward Hurley William/Jane Charlinch Labourer 6 7 1834

No Hurley Death recorded at Charlinch


I will now check the other Parishes close by - it would seem the Hurley s do not appear at Cannington until 1800s and only a few over a few short years

See if I can find where they came from
Richard could be incorrect in place of birth

I wondered about the adoption line too although adoptions were often linked to the family in some way.It could be worth following the family through a little to see if any gems are thrown up.

I rather suspect that she is an "adopted"daughter and neither of their offspring.
Maybe a child of a soldier that was killed and her mother already dead?

Will have to think on things,as I always say

My best work is done while thinking .)

Thank you for trying to help LK.
I note the absentees........................

"Mother Lily Peffen??gell as per her birth cert."

I was offering a suggestion for mother's birth name.

TT instead of FF

Pettingale
Pettingell
Pettengell

And his Chelsea pensioner records say he married Martha (nee Gaff) in 1879 in Guildford.

Which he did

Marriages Sep 1879
GAFF Martha Guildford 2a 122
GREENLEAF George Guildford 2a 122

So who is Lily then???
And who are her parents and where is her birth reg??

This side of the tree is worse than the other side,and I havent got past his grandad that side in 3 months !

I now know why he bartered his tree for the work of my porch refurb,looks as though he wont have to do it as I dont think I can do this !

That has been purely down to a clever, competent and generous friend.

If only I could remember who it was.

This is Gladys Priscilla Godfreys father.
But as you can see she is not on it.
There is also another child (unknown)missing as he says he has 6 children born and living.

I have searched and failed to find her.

I have also failed to find her parents marriage.
Father Francis Godfrey
Mother Lily Peffen??gell as per her birth cert.

All I get is this,in the right place at the right time though.

Marriages Jun 1899
Allin Lily St. Geo. H. Sq. 1a 1041
Godfrey Francis St. Geo. H. Sq. 1a 1041
Greenleaf Lily St. Geo. H. Sq. 1a 1041

Definately GELL on the end for mothers maiden name on birth cert ,but what the rest is supposed to be I dont really know as the writing is diabolical.

I would have thought she was a little young to have been widowed and remarried and it has no other name on birth cert for her other than ??Gell
