Find Ancestors

Thank you. I am trying to find out where Scard comes into the equation as well. On Google apparently the Scard and Hinwood/Henwood familes are interlinked. I will carry on. Thanks again. :-)

Now, assuming that as an unmarried mother of 2 children that Alice may have knocked a few years off her age in the hope of attracting a new partner, I have found a baptism which 'may' fit:

Name: Alice Hinwood
Gender: Female
Christening Date: 25 Dec 1804
Christening Place: Warminster, Wiltshire, England
Father: Charles Hinwood
Mother: Ann


This looks like a probable brother for her? :

Name: Thomas Hinwood
Gender: Male
Christening Date: 17 May 1807
Christening Place: Warminster, Wiltshire, England
Father: Charles Hinwood
Mother: Ann


Having found a Thomas on 1841 who was a Blacksmith (as claimed for the father at the weddings of her 2 children), I wondered if they used their uncle's name in the absense of a father (not as unusual as you may think) ?

I think it was Chris who mentioned a Thomas Scard a Miller, well this appears to be his son on 1841.
Strangely Thomas Jnr's mother was called Felicia (nee Hooper).
Thomas Jnr. also had a sister named Felicia.

This appears to be the only Scard family in the vicinity (an unusual name), and Felicia also is not that usual a name and both the mother and sister were both Felicia's .

It seems impossible to me that they should not be connected - I just can't work out how !!

Hi and thanks to you all. I have also come up with a lot of this information and think also that Alice was an unmarried mother. I also came up with a site on Google about a one name study of Scard which has given me a lot of information which confirms everything. Except of course that Thomas Scard was the father of Fanny Scard Hinwood. It is such a coincidence with the name of Felicia through the family. I would love to go back in time! I have emailed Judith S Adams to see if she has any more information on any illegitimate children. Will let you all know. Thanks again. Lesley x :-) <3
