Find Ancestors

I am trying to find the ancestors of Richard Board b1858 who married twice - firstly to Evangelline Parker - 22/4/1889 - and then to Mary Annie Petch- April 1893

The family originate from the Shepton Mallett area although I know some relatives lived around the Hamworthy/Weymouth area

I am particularly interested in Richard's father Charles, and his relations. He was recorded as a labourer(deceased) on the marriage cert of Richard's first marriage

Can you help?


Nick Board

Isn't Richard with his father on the free 1881 census?

Was Richard's birth registered?

Who witnessed the 1889 marriage?

1861 census shows Richard aged 3, his sister Eliza aged 6 and their widowed mother Hannah b 1827, in Batcombe, Somerset.

1871?
