| 8 | ******************these notes to be revised!!!!! Note that there are a number of Junipers in and around this part of Norfolk. In particular another branch I think of the family in and around Mundesley (about 15miles from Horning), also with a Peter in, who sold a farm with 21 acres of land etc in 1807. Possibly cousins? The date and location of Peter's birth based on info he gave to the Merchant Navy. Would seem to be valid, but the baptism record, albeit a transcript also seems valid. Note transcript has a maiden name for his mother of GALES(?). One curiosity is the use of Parker in his daughter's name.... presumably this relates to one of his wife's ancestors, but this has yet to be confirmed. The Merchant Navy records also say this:- When issued (2/6/1845) at Shoreham, he was a "Chief Boatman CG". He first went to sea in 1807 as a "Boy". Height 5ft 6.5in, Brown hair, Ruddy complexion, left eye grey, right eye hazel. No service with the Royal Navy, and never been abroad. When Caroline was born, Peter was from Colbourne about 1.5miles away. According to the Bishops transcripts baptism register I have for Peter (28/2/1794), his father was Peter and Susan GALES (sometimes Susannah?), and they married at Horning . According to my records Susannah Parker PUXLEY marries a Peter Juniper (14/10/1789, Tunstead) and has Samuel, Susannah and Skyles as children. This Peter was living at Taverham at the time of the marriage, Susannah was living in Tunstead. However I have been over everything again, and the baptism register for Horning has at least for Peter, Susan nee Puxley. It originally said Gales but has been crossed out. The baptism of Emily (1/4/1784) originally said Henry and Mary (Puxley) but this is crossed out to Gales. It is also interesting that the baptism of Peter is entered after that of Emily, even though it was earlier. So I think that somewhere there was a mistake or two, and your tree is more likely to be right. I have Henry and Mary with a number of children and I suspect that Henry is a brother to Peter (the elder), but not got there yet. Horning is 5 miles from Tunstead so not unreasonable for them to have moved. Plus, we might have Peter, John and Skyles while they were in Horning and then Samuel and Susannah when they moved back to Tunstead. (Taverham is more of a problem as it is 12 miles from Tunstead, but I think I can accept this). | JUNIPER, Peter (I1040)

| 9 | 1841 Census implies Fanny's parents are Thomas and Ann and she has siblings James and Ann (see also 1851 Census). The following family on the internet has more info, eg birth of 12/11/1814 :- http://trees.ancestry.co.uk/tree/24171653/family?cfpid=1483820285 For the 1861 Census, Ann and Fanny are living with Martha MONGER, aged 17 at the time. She was originally written in as "dau", crossed out to "head", as befits a new entry/address. The 1851 Census for Martha identifies her parents as David and Jane MONGER - David Monger who Fanny later marries. Fanny and many of her descendents were straw plaiters, an activity particularly practised by women and daughters, and particularly in this part of the country. The blog https://blog.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/2019/06/05/straw-plaiting-in-rural-britain/ and the article https://prestonherts.co.uk/strawplaiting.htm has some information on this. | FREEMAN, Fanny (I41)
|
| 10 | 1861 Census describes her as born in Sussex which is not quite correct, but this believed to be the most realistic Census record. | VEY, Rebecca (I1183)
|
| 11 | 1881 Census entry not obvious but the most likely found so far would be as a drapers assistant, aged 21, in Aldgate High St. If it is correct, she would have been born in Coopers Rd, SE London. 1939 register entry and thus birth, assumed correct given that she would be with her (unmarried) daughter. | WELTON, Emma Laughton (I292)
|
| 12 | 1911 Census may either mean that John died in 1891 or she remarried in 1887? Best match on death might be 1916 Lambeth (on the basis that this is closest to 1911 census address), or 1911 Southwark or 1912 Camberwell. There is an Elizabeth Caroline WEBB buried Dec 1925 in Hackney aged 75 so unlikely to be the right person. | TAYLOR, Elizabeth Caroline (I15)
|
| 13 | 1911 Census says they had had 9 children of whom 1 had died. Process of elimination leads this to be Emily | BENNETT, Alice (I634)
|
| 14 | 1911 Census shows 7 children alive, 4 died. 1939 Register for Jane shows a Harold living with her, DOB 3/9/1908 | Family: Henry Charles SMITH / Jane DESBOROUGH (F185)
|
| 15 | 3rd child mentioned in 1911 census likely to be Ronald, Cyril or Nellie, died Dec qtr 1899 or Annie died Sept qtr 1899 | Family: Henry John ALLEN / Kate MERRINGTON (F2)
|
| 16 | A family member says:- He joined up aged 16 and was a POW in Germany following the battle of the Somme. His father got him out of the army once or twice (?), and after that essentially disowned him, and the money from his father's estate did not come to him. The military history that I have found is as follows:- He lied on most of the documents to join up and put DOB as 9/2/1896 (ie 2 years older than he actually was) He joined the RGA or RFA as a gunner/bombadier in Mar 1915, his reg number was L/6511 (or 6551?). He went AWOL (or his father encouraged him so to do) in Aug 1915, and then joins the 1st East Surrey reg (reg number 12673, transcribed 12675 by the red cross). I cannot find out when he joined, but the family story has him being gassed and then taken prisoner at the Somme. This is certainly consistent with the ICRC records that have him in ?Oppy?, Lille in 8/5/17 or Fresney(?) 8/5/17 (not sure I know how to read these records), and is repatriated arriving back in Hull on 29/11/18 aboard SS Takada. The Forces War Records site records a field hospital (I think) with him having inflammation of connective tissue and feet (presumably gas) on 3/9/16. This implies 6 months in theatre and 18m in service, though I am inclined to not take this as too accurate. The war diary for the 1st East Surrey Reg does not give any indication of a gas attack around 3rd Sept, nor in the preceding month. The final part of the story is that he then signs up with the RAF 26/4/19 and stays with them till 21/4/21, when he is discharged as "no longer physically fit for active service". The RAF sheet gives a number of 329156 (is this a reg number?), and says his service in the East Surreys finishes the day before he joins up. Nobody in the family has heard of the last part, and I am intrigued by somebody who possibly missed the camaraderie of military service enough to keep going, even after his time in the trenches. At the 1921 Census (19 Jun 1921) sees him as an out of work Turner, lodging at another address in Newington. His place of work is given as "H M Forces". Data from electoral rolls gives GHW living as follows (all electoral rolls are Oct of the given year) 1919, 6, Etherdon St, with Emma, also Alfred PALMER and Richard and Florence WILLSON. George is given as absent in HM Forces (as is Richard WILLSON, but not Alfred PALMER) 1920, as 1919... Richard is now back at home 1921, as 1920, now living at home 1922, as 1921 1923, 55, Sayer St. Also there is Harold NORMAN. Note that Mabel (his wife) is not there. My understanding now of the rules is that women over the age of 30 were entitled to vote (until 1928, when it dropped to 21). So she was 30, but I cannot find her easily anywhere else, so maybe given the fact that she was only 30 meant she forgot, did not bother etc..... 1924, as 1923, with Mabel also listed 1925, as 1924 1926, 40 Chatteris Sq. This is consistent with the info given on Emma (MERRINGTON)'s death certificate. William and Christina SMITH were at no 38. 1927, as 1926 1928, as 1927 1929, as 1928 - note this means EAW born in No 40, not 38... 1930, 38, Chatteris Square. At No 40 is William and Elizabeth HUGHES 1931-4 inclusive, as 1930 1935-1939, as 1930, but also Ethel Edith EDWARDS appears - this makes sense, born 1914 she would be 21 and therefore on the voter list There were no rolls for 1940-44. | WEBB, George Henry (I1)

| 17 | a tree with 2 spouses is at http://trees.ancestry.co.uk/tree/9137987/person/74515995 possible baptisms (both in Chatham) are 8/4/1796 and 8/6/1800, but nothing to say which (if either) are correct | BAILEY, Mary Ann (I582)

| 18 | Abbreviation not clear in the abbreviation, but believed to be the most likely address. | Source (S464)
|
| 19 | According to army records, he marries Bessie CRAGO on 20/11/1904. Bessie certainly matches the names in the 1911 Census and the 1939 Register, and this then checks with births in Plymouth (see 1911 Census). But there is no record of the marriage in the BMD, even allowing for variations in all the names, dates and locations (and there is a marriage in Plymouth in 1894 with Bessie Crago). But the army say they checked the marriage certificate as part of the enlistment process. So nothing is clear He joined the Sappers (Royal Engineers) in Dec 1915, aged 41..... | GUY, Henry George (I1148)
|
| 20 | According to both IGI and the Suffolk Baptism Index (SBI), Thomas and Jane had other children as follows William (born 28/3/1813 (SBI, IGI has 1815, but seems less likely as does not match other births), bapt 31/5/1815, maybe 17/9/1815 (SBI and IGI), even a suggestion of 28/5/1815 (SBI) Henry (born unknown SBI, 31/5/1815 IGI), bapt 31/5/1815 (IGI and SBI), maybe 17/9/1815 (SBI)? No other children obvious in Suffolk, but there probably were some in indexes not transcribed. | Family: Thomas WOOLSEY / Jane GREENBERRY (F187)
|
| 21 | according to the marriage between George and Sarah, he was deceased by 25/12/1842, and he was a "watch case joint finisher". (Note that at George TAYLOR's second marriage in 1850 there is no mention of him being dead. The Cyclopædia: Or, Universal Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, and Literature (https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=KNyo4SJ7YiAC&pg=PP760&lpg=PP760&dq=Watch+Case+Joint+Finisher&source=bl&ots=DQu8IeieDb&sig=B74ezQSMPBKrEoTuqezk3z1qjYE&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjg9JC_if7bAhWIJVAKHbckB3oQ6AEIajAR#v=onepage&q=Watch%20Case%20Joint%20Finisher&f=false) describes 21 "principal workmen employed on a watch to complete it from the state in which the movement is received from the country", with the joint finisher being the 9th in the series. | TAYLOR, John (I20)

|
| 23 | Additionally, internet source http://trees.ancestry.co.uk/tree/8908918/person/6005142178 suggests additional children, George (1858-1859) and Thomas (1860-1861). Also references George (b 1855), no death, but presumably died before 1858. | CLARK, Margaret Maria (I5)
|
| 24 | After 1861 the story of William and Sarah becomes less clear. In the 1871 Census, Sarah is married to Alfred, a joiner from Suffolk, living in West Ham. This clearly is the right Sarah as her mother is there too. But in 1881 Alfred appears back in Suffolk, unmarried, with his Aunt and Uncle. There is no complete evidence for Sarah anywhere after 1871, in Census or in BMD indices, but it might be presumed that she had died and Alfred then went back to his roots. I can find no record of Sarah WEBB (or STEVENSON) marrying Alfred WEBB. Slightly less likely is that they were not living together in 1871, Alfred was just lodging, and for convenience went in as head, or that this was his property and Sarah and some of her children, and her mother, were lodging with Alfred. Robert(2), Susannah(1 wk), are also there but without the birth certificates do not know who their father is. I have not found Robert or Susannah later than this but they are with none of the possible parents in 1881. Lastly, there is a Sarah WEBB who died in Shoreditch Jan qtr 1870. This means that Alfred just reported her (by mistake, or for simplicity or public perception?), but she was not actually alive. William meanwhile appears in 1881 and 1891 Censuses, in 1981 as widowed, with Harriet HALL (married) as a housekeeper. There are likely children, James(1y 8m) and Emma(3m), born to Harriet and William, so again they either married or were treated as such. The key indicator here is that William is a Fish Porter, so I am fairly sure we have the right person, given age, place of birth and children. Church records have John George born to William and Harriet 10/12/1882 (bapt 2/10/1888), then James Walter and Harry Charles, twins born 28/7/1879 (bapt 21/9/1879) to William and Harriet. James and John appear in School lists in 1892 (living at 24, Elstead St., father a fish porter), but there is no Harry. Then in 1891 William is married to Emma. Again there is no BMD evidence for Harriet's marriage or death (there is no Harriet Hall in death indices), nor for any marriage to Emma. Perhaps most likely is that Emma and Harriet are the same person and that one of the names (probably Harriet) was written down incorrectly. There is possible death evidence for both Emma (Lewisham Q1 1898, aged 42, which matches the Census) and William (Southwark Q4 1895 aged 55, giving DOB of 1840, which is close enough). | Family: William James WEBB / Sarah Elizabeth STEVENSON (F57)
|
| 25 | After 1901 the trail goes cold. There is a Wilemina Anderson marrying in 1902, but neither of the possible surnames match anything in 1911 Census. Or she may have emigrated but again nothing obvious. I can find no obvious deaths. | ANDERSON, Wilhemina Laura (I882)
