I think it might be more obvious - the opening para at the top of the page relates to a list of the rails lying on the south side of the church and to which livings they did anciently belong. At the bottom of the page it suggests that it's unfair to expect the poor to repair their rails because thei...

The Ancestry Rent and Tenants table is is a page or two earlier than the Rails info.
I've posted all there is on rails. It then returns to Births, Deaths and Marriages.

I really appreciate your help. It's fascinating isn't it!

The majority is just a list but the bottom para is interesting yet mostly beyond me!

Hi
Can anyone explain what rails or railos are? There is a schedule in the Warwickshire Register which includes a list of family names who appear to own them?
I can post a screenshot if it would help?

Another question... The 1841 census for Southam shows a Jno Kemp and his wife Selvia and a son, Thomas. Jno ?? is down as an Innkeeper of a place in the High Street. The thing I don't really understand is that there are about 11 women also listed at that address but they have no names and they are d...

Thanks to FindMyPast's free weekend, I've got this question for you... The 1841 census shows 2 Hannah Humphriss's. Both born in 1771, one is living with a Jane Prew in Lighthorne and the other is in the workhouse, Southam Union. That is the parish in which Lighthorne lies. Could it be the same woman...

Sorry I haven't responded - I've been working and also trying to untangle the web! Unfortunately, it's getting more tangled each time I look at it... For example, here's a wedding of two Humphriss's! George Humphriss born 1863 - 34yrs Bricklayer married Ellen Marie Humphriss (spinster name same as m...

Thanks to you all for the lovely welcome.

I've learnt loads already!

Ive just noticed that Ancestry is showing a Charles Humphris born abt 1794 in Lighthorne and in the 1851 census he is living in Ashow, Warwickshire aged 57??
He has a daughter named Elizabeth.
Who is he?
I can only see headlines so can't dig any deeper unfortunately.

It's absolutely fascinating isn't it - and even thrilling! I'm hooked! By the way I've got photos of George C Humphries born 1870 and his wife Alice. He was Henry's son. I've also got some documents such as a 1924 copy of one of his son's birth certificates and letters dated 1900 from the vaccinatio...

I might be confused but could John have fathered those kids if he died in 1842?
Some of them must have been conceived after that death date of 1842?

EDIT - Just realised you are referring to another John...

That's amazing.

Can I ask how you are getting this info? Is it a subscription to Ancestry?

Do you think the Charles/Hannah Hum's at Gaydon are the same famiy as those at Lighthorne? Perhaps they moved?

Thanks again

Thanks so much Gardener. I too was very confused by the fact that Charles was never described as deceased on the docs relating to his children but his wife, Mary, is definitely a widow in 1841. You list the children of John and Mary - did you mean Charles? If so, have you missed John from the list o...
