Thanks for all you've done - I have been to Library (they let us use Ancestry for free) loads this week trying to sort this out with no success...and you have solved it tonight and so am very grateful.

How odd!!
Is there any chance you could find out who Thomas parents were??
Many thanks for all you've found out for me.
Realised why I couldnt find any info on the 1841 census....its because been transcribed as Westacot (with only one T!) hadn't tried that variant.

Hi Alviegal
Thanks again for finding this all for me........on the 1881 census is my great grandma Alice Westacott!
I notice on the 1861 census you just sent me that the daughter born in 1846 shown on the 1851 census was Selina is now in the 1861 census called Eleanor????
More Confusion for me!!!

Hi,
Can we see who Thomas Westacott born c1809 in George Nymphton parents are?
Thanks
Michelle

Michelle Report 8 Sep 2012 20:39

Hi Safc.
Thanks for info......Ann Wooton must be the right Ann as on the 1841 census posted by Alviegal shows the Westacott's living with the Wooton's but Ann's not listed. But we know shes alive because she's in the 1851 Census.
Although I've just noticed those Wootons were mostly born in Glos & yet on the 1851 census Ann was born in George Nymphton.
Confused!!
But thanks
Michelle

Looked it up - a Bright Smith is one which works with bright metals...ie copper, tin & brass etc!
I have a cencus from 1841 which just states that Thomas is not born in Bristol, but he's 30, there is no Ann, and the children are Ann 1832, Elizabeth 1834, Eliza 1835, John 1835 and Harriet 1840. Thats odd that there is a Elizabeth and Eliza....and where is there mother?

Michelle Report 8 Sep 2012 20:08

Please can anyone help me move backwards on my Westacott line? My GG Grandparents were John Westacott b 1836 Temple and Ann Walker b 1839 St James (Both Bristol). They had the following children John, Thomas, Annie, Henry, James, Louisa & Alice. John & Ann were married on 23/1/1860 at St Matthias in Bristol and John's father was listed as Thomas Westacott. I have found a Thomas Westacott (and Ann) in the 1841 Census living at Berkeley Court Bristol with children including a John b1835. Cant find them in 1851. In 1861 they give their birth place as Devon but I'm not sure if I have the right family. There are many variations to the name which doesnt help and as the records at Bristol Rec Office from the parish of Temple were destroyed during WWII its hard to verify stuff. Would be very grateful for any advice/help
Thanks
