Charles Churchill born Abbotsbury? (Apr 07 Red)
Hello, I am trying to find out where Charles Churchill came from, and went to after the death of his wife. On the 1861 census Charles wife Amelia and 1yr old daughter Amelia are all give as birthplace unknown. Thought they would know where there daughter was born. A Amelia Churchill is buried at Abbotsbury 1863 aged 27yrs old. A John Churchill was born 1863 parents given as Charles and Amelia Churchill nee Hall. There is no record of a marriage to a Charles and Amelia Hall but there is one to a Amelia Park in 1859 reg Dorchester. On the 1871 census John Churchill is living with John and Mary Coleman and Hannah Park Mother-in-law. If anyone can help or is reseaching any of these names I would be pleased to hear from them.

Thomas Kellaway (Feb 07 Red)
Thomas Kellaway gave his birthplace as Abbotsbury, Dorchester when he joined the army in 1841 at 19, so born about 1822. I have his army career and some later census after retirement, but have been unable to find his roots in Dorset. He married a local girl, Mary, but I have no surname. Another Thomas Kellaway born same year goes right through census as a fisherman. If anyone is researching this family, knows of siblings, children, wife's family, I would be grateful to hear from them. Thank you, Ivy
