Gamekeeper and farm bailiff are similar types of jobs.

If they are the same person, a name change after he left Alice would make sense. What bothers me is that James was having children under the name of Sawkins in 1882 before he married Alice in 1884.

Would anyone being going to Wiltshire and Swindon Record Office and be prepared to do a look up in the Eastern/Devizes Electrol Roll at a specific address

Cuttenham, North Newton, Wiltshire

Looking for James Samways -am aware he is here on 1891 electrol roll but after this not certain for how long.

Thanks

Am now on the search for this James Sawkins in any cenus prior to 1891 and to find a marriage between James Sawkins and Emma please? To try and prove or disprove my theory of James Samways having two families?

Any assistance would be great as struggling -found them 1891, 1901 and 1911 see previous posts, but not before


Thanks

Joanna

In 1911 cenus James and Emma Sawkins claim to be married 29 years but can not find marriage? Were they actually married?

Feel may have to purchase birth certificate of one of the children-although may not be any connection to my James Samways at all.

Or perhaps someone may be going to Winchester Record office and prepared to look up baptism for James Sawkins 1859 Avington -does he exist and is his first son Alfred George Sawkins born 1882 Romsey -listed in baptisms?

Thanks for any assistance
