carol, Are you certain of the birth area? Could he have been born elsewhere? I found this birth, It seems to be the closest match, Taynton, Henry Ralph 1840 June Births Gravesend (1837-1941) Kent SCRAP THAT!! I have just found that one on the IGI. Not the same one! Pat

I've looked on 1837 for a birth and the only one born in Gloucestershire in the right time to be 21 on the 1861 census, is a Charles Tainton, Cheltenham in the March qtr. of 1840. I can't find any trace of this Charles on Ancestry. Is there any possibility of Henry and the Charles born Cheltenham being the same person - maybe given Henry as a name after registration. Think I am clutching at straws for you here really. Kath. x
