RENDELL YOUNG
- Hardington Mandeville
Can you help to solve this mystery? My great grandfather Adam Thomas RENDELL (b.1846 North Perrott) married Ann YOUNG (b.1851 East Chinnock)in Hardington Mandeville on 15 Mar 1870.They had six children and were last recorded as living at White Vine Farm House, Hardington Mandeville in 1881.Sometime later, the family were dispersed and three of the youngest children went to live with their grandparents. Whatever the cause I have never been able to find records beyond the 1881 census for either Adam or his two eldest sons Albert Thomas (b.1871) and Arthur Young (b.1873). Similarly daughter Florence (b.1875) is unrecorded after the 1891 census. Does anyone have any knowledge of the subsequent history of these individuals? If you do then I would be extremely pleased to hear from you.
