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

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 .

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) ?

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. :-)

It says niece under relation to the head of the house and nurse as occupation.

Lesley1112 Report 19 Nov 2016 19:33

Hi. Thanks for the info. I have this record attached to Felicia but was wondering if it read nurse and not neice? I know she was a nurse throughout her life. I couldn't quite understand how she could be the neice of the head because of the age difference and surname. It could just be me not thinking straight. I will keep on plodding. :-S

Hi. This is what I have found as well. Mother named as Alice but no father named. Both Felisha and Louisa have the middle names of Scard. This is going to be a mystery to unravel. Exciting. :-)

Mel Fairy Godmother

Mel Fairy Godmother Report 19 Nov 2016 18:05

I think the name of the father could have been made up as the baptisms show.

By their middle names it seems like that could have been the fathers surname but I can find no person by the name of Thomas Scard who would fit.

Can anyone find Alice past the 1841 census?
