Hi Braillemaker

The 3 Trigg marriages you have listed that William and Ann Barnett witnessed are siblings, all children of Benjamin Trigg 1759 & Priscilla Welch 1759. Maria is (I think) Anna Maria Trigg 1799, the others are James 1782 & Richard 1793. My connection here is another sibling George 1796 married Lucy Marfell 1797, 22 July 1816, Newland Witness_1: Jonathan Marfell Witness_2: Maria Trigg. Lucy Marfell was the daughter of John Marfell 1769 & his first wife Elizabeth Roberts 1769. This marriage also at one stage caused dubiety on another thread as to which Benjamin Trigg was the father of George Trigg, resolved by the will of John Marfell. This was posted in relation to the thread mentioned.

To add to the confusion, Benjamin Trigg and Priscilla Welch also had a son William Trigg 1802 who married Ann Dean 1806 in 1829. Benjamin Trigg and Priscilla also had a daughter Ann, but I cannot find that she married a William Barnett/Barnard!! indeed I cannot find a confirmed marriage for her, although there are a number of possibilities.

Could you do me a favour and post the 1841 Census you mention.
