I would assume, that Martha Stacey (widow) with 3 young children would have gone back to parent's house. John H jun would have only been 4.

wonder if this Anthony has anything to do with Anthony Sen??

You're way ahead of me LiverBird :-)

But isn't the Elizabeth (Lizzie?) Stacey niece and servant interesting.

So perhaps the Tolemans are part of the tree as well as running the hardware shop? Or might that "niece" be a euphamism?

I think I'll leave that for the moment, tho' - apart from anything else I have to digest all the other stuff. No sign of a Virgent yet either.

Can we reach any further back with the Cricks?

Thank you very much once again, this is excellent stuff.

It looks pretty obvious that they are the same person. Did people separate christening and baptism? Or is this an error? Or something else? What's the most probable explanation?

Keith

Not necessarily the same person

The first one may have died.

Have you looked on this site ?

http://www.ancestry.com/name-origin?surname=virgent

The first one may have died.

Thanks Mike, I should have thought of that, given the number of offspring that seems pretty likely.

Have you looked on this site ?

I hadn't but have now. Surprise! there's an Ellen Virgent in Dorset.

Keith

Found Virgent, only it's not Virgent but Virgint.

Henry John Virgint married Ellen Chick (Martha Chick's sister) in 1867.

Better late than never ...

Thanks safc!

There's a nest of Virgints, looks as if Henry Virgint 1809 was born in Colyton, Devon. His wife was Dulcibilla. I haven't found their marriage yet, nor Dulcibilla's maiden name ...

Yes, that's her, thanks again.

I wonder where "Dulcibella" comes from, sounds Italian maybe?

Anyway, I'm now trying to piece together the Henry Virgint and Henry John Virgint families. Henry John & Walter William were sons of Henry 1809. WW died about 20.

There are other Virgints mentioned in census and other records but so far I haven't found links to these three (and Ellen Chick of course).

edit: Found Kezia, daughter of Henry. Where might the name Kezia come from?

07 December 1867 - Bridport News - Bridport, Dorset, England

Marriage
Nov 28, at Mary's church, Beaminster, by the Rev A. Codd, Mr Henry John Virgint, only son of Henry Virgint, to Ellen, youngest daughter of Mr. John Chick.

(Burial. 1874; Nov; 2nd; Dulcibella; VIRGENT; Beaminster; 65)

Chris :)

(worth a google for Kezia name, in fact, google always!, that's how Dulcibella Burial came up, and Dorset OPC good also)

http://www.behindthename.com/name/keziah

'morning Chris!

Thanks for that newspaper reference. The additions of things like "youngest" and "only" are helpful.

In this case it should have been "only surviving son", as his brother Walter William died the year before. Kezia(h) died young too.

The "behind the name" site is good, too, thanks. Dulcibella is simply an old name, Keziah has Hebrew / biblical roots. Started me wondering about middle-European Jews again {smile}.

I was in touch with the Dorset OPC a couple of years ago, she is very, very helpful.
