  1. 1829 Bere Regis, Dorset
    1841 Bere Heath, Bere Regis, Dorset
    1851 Bugg Barrow, Bere Regis, Dorset
    In 1857 a John COBB is shown in East Stoke, Dorset as a Brickmaker. Samuel COBB, the Brickmaker in East Stoke, was the Uncle of this John. Was this John the Brickmaker in 1857?
    1861 5 Tower Hill, Bere Regis, Dorset
    1871 2 Barrow Hill, Bere Regis, Dorset
    1881 Tower Hill, Bere Regis, Dorset as a widow Age 75 (was actually 73). Living with him was his son Mark with his wife Arabella and their two children.
  2. 1829 Bere Regis, Dorset
    1841 Bereheath, Bere Regis, Dorset
    1851 Bugg Barrow, Bere Regis, Dorset
    1861 5 Tower Hill, Bere Regis, Dorset
    1871 2 Barrow Hill, Bere Regis, Dorset
  3. 1841 Bereheath, Bere Regis, Dorset
    1851 Not found
  4. 1841 Bereheath, Bere Regis, Dorset
    1851 Shitterton, Bere Regis, Dorset
    1861 12 Shitterton Hamlet, Bere Regis, Dorset, RG9/1347 Folio 41 page 26. This information for Caroline is an interesting find. The Head of the household is a Jacob TOMS. Jacob (28) was unmarried an Ag Lab born in Bere Regis, Dorset. Caroline LANGDOWN (29) was born in Bere Regis, Dorset but no relationship to Jacob shown. 
    There appears to have been something in the relationship box but it no longer appears there. Caroline has an occupation which could not be made out, was it "House Keeper"?  Except there are only one or two letters before the word "house", She has two daughters, Mary (4) and Ellen (2) both born in Bere Regis, Dorset
    1871 Kye Hill, Bere REgis, Wareham, Dorset
    The information on this census is even more intriguing as there is still no sign of her husband Richard, but the family has enlarged. Jacob TOMS is still the head and still an Ag  Lab, aged 39. The rest of the family are all entered as Boarders - Caroline LANGDOWN (38) Housekeeper born Bere Regis, Dorset,
    Mary LANGDOWN (14) Scholar born Wareham, Dorset, Ellen LANGDOWN (11) Scholar born Wareham, Dorset John (8), Alice (6), Susan (4) all Scholars and George (1) all born Bere Regis, Dorset
    1881 Butt Lane, Bere Regis, Dorset. Again, the mystery deepens! Caroline is the Head , shown as married. Her occupation  was entered as "Wife of Ag Lab" but this has been crossed through. Her age is shown as  49 and with her are Ellen (21),a Domestic Servant, George (11) a Scholar, Jane LANGDOWN (1) daughter, born Bere Regis, Dorset and "wait for it" Jacob TOMS,  unmarried (48) and still an Ag Lab. 
    1891 "Stockley", Bere Regis, Dorset.  Caroline LANGDOWN is now a Charwoman (59), living with her were Jane LANGDOWN (11) granddaughter born Bere Regis, Dorset, Sydney BAKER (1) grandson born Bere Regis  Dorset and, of course, Jacob TOMS (57) Farm Labourer.
    Notes for Caroline COBB
    1901 Butt Lane, Bere Regis, Dorset.
    It would appear that Caroline had died and we assume that Ellen LANGDOWN married an  Esau BAKER as the family living at this address are Esau BAKER (48) Labourer on Farm  born Chiselbourne, Dorset, Ellen BAKER (40) wife born Bere Regis, Dorset, Jessie BAKER  (14), Sydney BAKER (11), Charles (10) and Harold (3) all born Bere Regis, Dorset. Also at this address is Jacob TOMS, (6) father-in-law, widower, Estate Labourer. It would seem, 
    perhaps, that the children, although named LANGDOWN, Caroline's husband's name, were actually the children of Jacob TOMS who she never married. So, possibly Richard  LANGDOWN was still alive. (His death has now been found in 1893. It can be seen that Caroline and Jacob married in 1893, and Caroline died in 1895)

    1861 46 Richmond Road, Walcot, Bath, Somerset

    1881 7 Walcot Buildings, Walcot, Somerset
    1891 7 Walcot Buildings, Walcot, Somerset. Living with this family was Lucy SMITH (87) Mother-in-law Widow of no occupation born Staverton, Wiltshire
    1901 1 Worcester Terrace, Bath, Somerset. Living with them was Emma BEAN (56) Servant Sick Nurse Own Account born Bradford, Wiltshire. Rebecca was 33 and Mary 32 but both still single and living at home
  6. 1841 Bereheath, Bere Regis, Dorset
    1851 Bugg Barrow, Bere Regis, Dorset
    1861 Western Heights & Citadel, Dover, Kent born Blandford, Dorset. Private Soldier in the 1st Battn Boy Rifles. Is this the right John COBB?
    (Jim PARSONS 11/10/06)
    1871 Shitterton, Bere Regis, Dorset
    1881 Winterbourne Houghton, Dorset. Also at same address was Emma TOMMS, Lodger, Married, Age 21 years, with her daughter Mary TOMMS, 8 months, both born Compton Abbas, Dorset
    1891 Baron Hill, Bere Regis, Dorset
    1901 West Street, Bere Regis, Dorset (from Roger HAWKINS). Living with grandson Charlton COBB and his family, but shown as father-in-law
  7. 1841 Bereheath, Bere Regis, Dorset
    1851 Bugg Barrow, Bere Regis, Dorset
    1861 48 West Street, Bere Regis, Dorset . Living with Anna TOMS (50) Mother-in-Law, Widow Needlewoman born Bere Regis, Dorset, deaf and her son John TOMS (20) unmarried Ag Lab, born Bere Regis, Dorset.  Also David LAMBERT (77) widower born Bere Regis, Dorset, a Farming Labourer
    1871 18 West Street, Bere Regis, Dorset.  Also in the property was Mother in Law Anna TOMS (59) widow Needlewoman, born Bere Regis, Dorset
    1881 West Street, Bere Regis, Dorset. Living with them was Mother in Law Anna TOMS (69) born Bere Regis, Dorset
    1891 Market Street, Poole, Dorset. Living with him was Gilbert COBB (1) grandson, as well as Seth's children Julia and Seth who was deaf and dumb.
    1901 50 Market Street, Poole, Dorset/ Living with Seth were his daughter Julia and son Seth as well as Gilbert COBB (11) grandson born Poole, Dorset and Leonard COBB (3) grandson born Poole, Dorset. At present we do not know to which of Seth's children Leonard COBB, grandson, belong.
  8. 1841 Bereheath, Bere Regis, Dorset
    1851 Bugg Barrow, Bere Regis, Dorset
    1861 5 Tower Hill, Bere Regis, Dorset
    1871 Upper Ham Road, Hamworthy, Dorset
    1881 Upper Ham, Ham Road, Hamworthy, Dorset
    1891 Upper Ham, Hamworthy, Dorset 
    1901 5 Bladford Road, Hamworthy, Dorset. There is a son Walter J COBB on this census. It is thought that this is actually James who has appeared on previous census returns, whilst Walter J has not. there is also a Mary COBB (9), granddaughter born Hamworthy, Dorset.  Bladford Road is very clear on the census return, but it is thought that this should be Blandford.
  9. 1841 Bereheath, Bere Regis, Dorset Age 1 month
    1851 Bugg Barrow, Bere Regis, Dorset
    1861 Not found
    1871 The District Camp, St Botolph, Colchester, Essex
  10. 1851 Bugg Barrow, Bere Regis, Dorset
    1861 Hewish Farm, Milton Abbas, Dorset. Elizabeth was a House Servant to a John PETT(PELT? FETT/?FELT?) (38) Farmer of 450 acres employing 12 men born in Milton Abbas, Dorset, and his family.
    1871 Not found
  11. 1851 Bugg Barrow, Bere Regis, Dorset
    1861 5 Tower Hill, Bere Regis, Dorset
    1871 Woodbury Hill, Bere Regis, Dorset
    1881 West Street, Bere Regis, Dorset
    It is uncertain whether this death relates to this Joseph. There was no other Joseph COBB of the right age on the 1881 census so it would suggest that it is the right one whose age was shown differently at various time.
    1845 Entry in Civil Registration Indexes shows Joseph was born 1845
    1843 Age given as 38 on 1881 census so born 1843
    1839 Age at death in 1886 of 47 in Civil Registration Indexes suggests he was born 1839
  12. 1851 Bugg Barrow, Bere Regis, Dorset
    11861 5 Tower Hill, Bere Regis, Dorset
    1871 Chamberlain’s Farm, Bere Regis, Dorset. Charles gave his age as 21 years making his birth date 1850
    1881 Butt Lane, Bere Regis, Dorset
    Charles and his wife had a child in 1889. He does not appear on the 1891 census. So presumably died between 1889 and 1891
    However, the only Charles death which fits is in the March quarter of 1882, age 34. More research required.
  13. 1851 Bugg Barrow, Bere Regis, Dorset
  14. 1861 5 Tower Hill, Bere Regis, Dorset
    1871 Butt Lane, Bere Regis, Dorset
    1881 Shitterton, Bere REgis, Dorset
    1891 Newton Farm, Organford Road, Lytchett Minster, Dorset. No Emily, John, Jane, Louisa or Willie on this census
    1901 Jerym Lane, Romsey Extra, New Forest, Hampshire
  15. 1861 5 Tower Hill, Bere Regis, Dorset
    1881 Stratton St Margaret, Wiltshire
    1871 18 Cornwall Buildings, Walcot, Somerset. Servant to James NEEDES (55) Master Baker employing 2 men and 1 youth born  Holcombe Regis, Devon, his wife Mary (55) born Honiton, Devon and children Caroline (24)  and Thomas (21) Baker both born Bath, Somerset. Another General Servant was Mary A  ISAACS (18) born Painswill, Gloucestershire
    1891 43 Richmond Place, Walcot, Bath, Somerset
    1901 2 Richmond Place, Walcot, Bath, Somerset. Lodging with them were Fritz GOODCHILD (23) Gardener born Bathford, Somerset and 
    George BUTTON? (23) Baler born Bath, Somerset
  16. 1861 5 Tower Hill, Bere Regis, Dorset
    1871 2 Barrow Hill, Bere Regis, Dorset
    1881 Tower Hill, Bere Regis, Dorset. Head of House was John COBB, Widower, Age 75 years,. Ag Labourer, father of Mark
    1891 Cottage, Hippenscombe, Hungerford, Wiltshire
    1901 No.2 Stoners, Bowner, Hampshire
    On the 1901 Census RG13/1016 Folio 156 page 2 this family seems to be the correct one. On this census there is a Mark COBB as Head, and a James, Ambrose and Henry all of the right age, but the wife is a Kate. It was thought that perhaps Mark's first wife Arabella had died and then a death in 1891 for an Arabella COBB was found in the Hungerford District where they were living in that year. Subsequently a Mark COBB/Kate COOPER marriage was found in the December quarter of 1897.
    On the 1901 census there were additional children, Ernest (1891), Charles (1894), Alfred (1896) and Lily (1898) It is likely that Ernest is the son of Mark and Arabella, and Lily is the daughter of Mark and Kate. There is therefore doubt as to whom Charles and Alfred belong, and at present, as they could not belong to Arabella, they have been shown as the children of Mark and Kate. However, it is possible that Mark had another wife after the death of Arabella and before his marriage to Kate. However, no suitable marriage can be found for a Mark COBB between 1891 and 1897 on FreeBMD web site.
    At their wedding Mark and Arabella both gave their age as 20 years. At the 1881 Census their ages were given as 25 and 24 years respectively,`

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.
