Hello all helpers, Would some one be kind and study the original census image for me. 1861 piece728 folio67 page32 reg.dist. Faringdon address Lechdale Rd. Faringdon Berks. Richard Whiteway67 head, ag. lab. Gardiner Martha 27 Daught, unmarried, no occ. Two sons unmarried, not important at moment. Bamming Edward 2Grandson This is the transcript from 1837online. On the Ancestry transcript Grandsons name given as Emming. I have looked and looked at original. Marital status of daughter has a black line scribbled through it. Grandsons name is almost impossible to understand. Ithought it looked like Camming or Lamming. No emming or Bamming in relevent birth searches. Perhaps some one with better eyes can figure it out! Thanks from Sylvia.

I'd have said Emming. The 1871 has a 12 year old Edward Emmerton born in ABingdon - no-one else of that age born their calledEdward I'll just check +/- 1 year

Grandson looks like Edward Emming Daughters marital status looks like married

It looks like Comming or Conning to me. Kath. x

ignore above - my maths was out by 10 years ;o( Z

lets start again - 1871 has a 12 year old Edward Hemming born in Abingdon family is: Edward J Hemming abt 1859 Abingdon, Berkshire, England Son Abingdon St Helen Berkshire Eliza Hemming abt 1829 Faringdon, Berkshire, England Wife Abingdon St Helen Berkshire Elizth Hemming abt 1868 Abingdon, Berkshire, England Daughter Abingdon St Helen Berkshire Ellen J Hemming abt 1851 Abingdon, Berkshire, England Daughter Abingdon St Helen Berkshire George Hemming abt 1862 Abingdon, Berkshire, England Son Abingdon St Helen Berkshire Walter H Hemming abt 1856 Abingdon, Berkshire, England Son Abingdon St Helen Berkshire William Hemming abt 1851 Alverscott, Oxfordshire, England Head Abingdon St Helen Berkshire Willie Hemming abt 1861 Abingdon, Berkshire, England Son Abingdon St Helen Berkshire the mother has an ancestry 'correction' which gives the mothers name as actually being Kezia Zoe

Theres an Edward Hemming on 1871 Edward J Hemming abt 1859 Abingdon, Berkshire, England Son Abingdon St Helen Berkshire Eliza Hemming abt 1829 Faringdon, Berkshire, England Wife Abingdon St Helen Berkshire Elizth Hemming abt 1868 Abingdon, Berkshire, England Daughter Abingdon St Helen Berkshire Ellen J Hemming abt 1851 Abingdon, Berkshire, England Daughter Abingdon St Helen Berkshire George Hemming abt 1862 Abingdon, Berkshire, England Son Abingdon St Helen Berkshire Walter H Hemming abt 1856 Abingdon, Berkshire, England Son Abingdon St Helen Berkshire William Hemming abt 1851 Alverscott, Oxfordshire, England Head Abingdon St Helen Berkshire Willie Hemming abt 1861 Abingdon, Berkshire, England Son Abingdon St Helen Berkshire

This marriage could be relevant William Hemming 1854 Oct-Nov-Dec Faringdon Berkshire, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire Kezia Whiteway 1854 Oct-Nov-Dec Faringdon Berkshire, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire 1861 William Hemming abt 1822 Alvescot, Oxfordshire, England Head Abingdon St Helen Berkshire Kezia Hemming abt 1829 Faringdon, Berkshire, England Wife Abingdon St Helen Berkshire Ellen Jane Hemming abt 1851 Abingdon, Berkshire, England Daughter Abingdon St Helen Berkshire Walter H Hemming abt 1856 Abingdon, Berkshire, England Son Abingdon St Helen Berkshire Willie Hemming abt 1860 Abingdon, Berkshire, England Son Abingdon St Helen Berkshire also in this household Mary Whiteway abt 1839 Faringdon, Berkshire, England Barmaid Abingdon St Helen Berkshire I wonder if your Edward, could be their son, staying over at grampy's!!

That marriage could very well be significant because on 1871 Kezia is given as an alternative name for Eliza Hemming (wife)

here's the HEMMINGs in 1861 Willie Hemming abt 1860 Abingdon, Berkshire, England Son Abingdon St Helen Berkshire Ellen Jane Hemming abt 1851 Abingdon, Berkshire, England Daughter Abingdon St Helen Berkshire Kezia Hemming abt 1829 Faringdon, Berkshire, England Wife Abingdon St Helen Berkshire Walter H Hemming abt 1856 Abingdon, Berkshire, England Son Abingdon St Helen Berkshire William Hemming abt 1822 Alvescot, Oxfordshire, England Head Abingdon St Helen Berkshire and they have living with themm: Mary Whiteway abt 1839 Faringdon, Berkshire, England Barmaid Abingdon St Helen Berkshire and in 1851 census - William = Ellen Jane Hemming abt 1850 Abingdon, Berkshire, England Daughter Abingdon St Helen Berkshire Emma Hemming abt 1823 Milton, Berkshire, England Wife Abingdon St Helen Berkshire Will Hemming abt 1822 Alverdiscott, Oxfordshire, England Head Abingdon St Helen Berkshire Cnt't see Kezia in 1851 yet - still loooking tho

You are all such clever helpful people! That is definately my lot. Mary the barmaid was asister who didnt appear on 1861 so I thought she had gone off to get married. Eliza-Kezia must be her older sister. What a break through! Not only more relatives( MY gtgtgt granddad was this lots older brother) but I have a Kezia!!!!! You should all be working for ancestry or 1837 as transcribers. Many many thanks Sylvia. Going to print it off now and start enlarging tree. I have been trying to update this for half an hour but I dont really know what I am doing.

To all people who helped me thank you, I have been trying to put on an update but cant work out how to do it so this will give it a nudge. Read message at bottom. thank you all Sylvia.
