Birth

RL 4/05 Added to baptism entry from Watchfield PRs supplied by Helen Norton.

Christening

(From Modern Transcript); supplied (4/05) by Helen Norton in response to RL request - tracking down the Pocock sisters/family.

Census

Helen Norton (24/4/05) supplied the following re. 1891 census entry she located: David, 45; Anna, 45; Thomas H., 19; Eliza, 17; George W., 15; David B., 13; Anna I., 9; Florence E., 6; Harry, 4; Martha A, 4(?)*. Helen reported 'all born Watchfield, except Anna born Breamore'** - i.e. as per 1881 entry.

  • I'm not sure whether the '(?)' is in the original or Helen's. Age 'should' be 11. ** Actually Helen reported 'Braemore' as Anna's birthplace - whose slip?!
