  1. 1851 Corscombe, Dorset
    1861 The Village, Corscombe, Dorset as son-in-law (step-son) to John MARKS
    1871 Beaminster Bottom, Beaminster, Dorset
    1881 Census - 47 Water Street, Winterbourne Stoke, Wiltshire (six children on this Census - the eldest Fred is 14 and is down as  a Shepherd born Beaminster, Dorset. Then there is George 12 a Scholar, born Beaminster, Charles 8 a Scholar, born Corscombe, Dorset, then Amelia 6 a Scholar, born Corscombe, Dorset, then Alfred 3 born West Lulworth, Dorset and finally Joseph 5 months born Winterbourne Stoke, Wiltshire.
  2. 1871 Beaminster Bottom, Beaminster, Dorset (I am certain that the marriage I have found in 1870 is the correct one, it would appear that as Fred and George appear on this Census that Job and Amelia had them before they married, perhaps they thought Amelia was too young and made her wait until she was nearly 21. On this Census in the property next door but one was a John and Martha SOPER, the age of John at 25 means that it was not Amelia's parents, possibly a brother.

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.
