Carters in Heston, Middlesex
25 February 2007 - 10:56:28am

Combining information from the 1841 census for the village of Heston, Middlesex, with details from the baptismal register (1813-1821) for Heston’s parish church (St Leonard's), it is possible to develop a picture of the Carter clan in Heston in the first half of the 19th century.

It appears that there were no less than 10 separate households with the surname Carter living in the village at some point in the period 1813-1841 as follows:

1. Sarah Carter + unnamed sergeant at barracks
2. James & Sarah Carter (ancestors of the Wrights in my family tree)
3. Henry Carter & Mary Wheeler (parents of Sarah, base born)
4. Mary Carter & unknown (Workhouse)
5. William & Mary Ann Carter
6. George & Ann Cater
7. Joseph & Amy Carter
8. Elizabeth Carter
9. Francis & Harriett Carter
10. John & Sarah Carter

Just how these households related to one another still remains unknown, but Heston has always been a relatively small place (in 1794 there were only 62 houses in the village itself), so it almost certain that some of these families are related to one another.

Nutkins Mystery Deepens
9 September 2006 - 10:47:44am

Although Nutkins is a well-known surname (thanks largely to Beatrix Potter's character Squirrel Nutkins), it is in fact very rare. There are only 109 people named Nutkins listed in the entire 1881 census of the British Isles. Even if you allow for other spellings, this scarcity should in theory make tracing the relationships between them easier, but in practice I have still had enormous difficulty.

One of my great great great grandfathers was named James Nutkins (b. 1811, Woolwich, Kent), and with him I have pretty much hit a brick wall. Although I know his father's name, I've failed to find any record of James' baptism, which in effect means I'm stuck. I can't progress my Nutkins line with confidence until I have more facts about my 3X great grandfather, James.

Recently, however, my Nutkins ancestors have become even more mysterious. James' daughter, Emma Susannah Nutkins (b. 1842 London), married James Taylor, a carriage driver, in Kensington in 1863. Their first child of whom I'm aware (Thomas James Taylor) was born in Marylebone in 1869, but his father was recorded as ELIAS Taylor, a coachman. There's no doubt about his mother. She was listed as Emma Susannah Taylor formerly Nutkins. How did James become known as Elias?

Things get even more confusing when you include data from the 1871 census. It lists Emma living at 25 North Street in Marylebone as the wife of Elias CONNETT, a coachman born in Devonshire. With them are children Annie aged 11, Beatrice 9, John 7, Thomas 2, and Samuel aged 3 months (all with the surname Connett). The first three children were all born in Devonshire. Thomas and Samuel were both born in London. I'm confident that this is the correct census entry because not only are the details for Emma, Thomas and Samuel correct, but they were still listed as living at 25 North Street in the 1881 census (with the surname Taylor, not Connett), by which time Emma had married my 2X great grandfather, Edward Wright.

So the question becomes: how did James Taylor become Elias Taylor and subsequently Elias Connett? What was going on? Was James/Elias trying to hide something? I have ordered a birth certificate for Samuel and a death certificate for James Taylor, so perhaps these documents will help me answer this perplexing question.

Update 9 Sep 2006 - Unfortunately, neither certificate was relevant and I am no further ahead. It all remains a mystery.

The Reverend William Fidler (I11)
Birth 18 December 1796 25 35 Carlisle, Cumbria, England
Death 30 July 1866 (Age 69) Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, England
William Fidler served three separate missions to the West Indies as a Methodist Minister over the course of 42 years. He witnessed the abolition of slavery in both the British and Dutch colonies. The diary in which he recorded his first journey to St Vincent in 1825 is held at the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies.
Rebecca Brewin (I2216)
Birth 19 August 1844 64 42 Mountsorrel, Leicestershire, England
Death 16 July 1873 (Age 28) Ribé, Kenya
For Rebecca Wakefield growing up in an earnest religious environment made the choice of being a missionary wife a desirable challenge. To preach the gospel to the "heathen" was an exciting religious adventure for women as well as for men. When she died at twenty-nine, she was experienced as a worker in the field, dispensing medicine daily, planning Christian festivals, and self-consciously providing a model for Christian womanhood. Her brother Robert Brewin turned her graphic letters home into her memorial, Memoirs of Rebecca Wakefield, wife of the Rev. T. Wakefield, United Methodist Free Churches missionary in eastern Africa (1876).
Mabel Maud Fidler (I189)
Birth 2 March 1871 41 Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia
Death 25 February 1960 (Age 88) Chatswood, Australia
Founded Ravenswood School for Girls, in Sydney, Australia, which is still going strong more than 100 years later. See the entries in the Australian Dictionary of Biography (http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A080723b.htm) and in Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravenswood_School_for_Girls).
The Reverend John Cook Barratt (I297)
Birth 26 February 1832 30 23 Wakefield, Yorkshire, England
Death 4 November 1892 (Age 60) Bad Cannstatt, Baden-Württemberg, Germany
It is difficult to sum up the striking qualities, many and varied, that go to the making of so great a man and a Missionary as J.C. Barratt. Perhaps the few words in which this is done in the report for the year 1893 are best, though the amplest elaboration of each single term would scarcely do justice to one of the greatest Missionaries of the Methodist Church. He was "A wise and good man, one who served with fidelity and ruled with descretion, and his name will stand honourably conspicuous in the history of German methodism." - The History of the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society Citation Details: Vol. 4, Pg. 471.
