Edmund PUDDY and Sarah PILEY / TILEY / TYLEY published by Pat Hase on Sun, 08/11/2015 - 19:13
Thank you Graham for the Westbury transcriptions - you've knocked down a brick wall!
I thought that Edmund PUDDY(a brother of my husband's great grand father) had married a Sarah (whose place of birth was given as Westbury) - they appeared on the 1851 census with a son Joseph born in Westbury in about 1841 and a son George born in Mark in about 1847.
Looking for a marriage for Edmund PUDDY and a Sarah before 1841 I drew a blank but on FreeBMD I did find a marriage of a Edmund PUDDY with a Sarah PILEY in 1843. But I couldn't find a birth of a Sarah PILEY - so I searched the Westbury baptisms for the baptism of a Sarah (no surname) about 1809 and found the baptism of a Sarah TILEY on the 30 Oct 1808 in Westbury. I then found the baptism of Joseph TYLEY 31 Jan 1841 s/o Sarah (single woman). Finally there is a marriage of an Edward (Can you check that Graham?) PUDDY to a Sarah TILEY on the 30th July 1843.
Only goes to show how difficult transcribing can be when the writing is difficult to read. Thanks Graham
Interesting that she was caned by the Schoolmaster and not by the Master.
It may not be the same person but a Jane TILLEY, aged 52 was an inmate in Axbridge Workhouse in 1871, she was a widow born in Ditcheat. She was still there in 1881 and died later that year and was buried at Winscombe 17th Dec 1881.
