Pensom from Great Witcombe (General)
Is anybody researching this family who can confirm that Nathaniel b 1855 married Elizabeth Jane Ellis in Chepstow District Dec Q 1873? He appears in West Dean on the 1881 census as a coal miner b Badget. Hoping that someone can confirm my detective work!

Many thanks,
I'm sure you are right. I think Emily Jane must have died in 1883 and possibly mum as well which would account for the second marriage. Your kind efforts are much appreciated :-)

...and now I have found Nathaniels marriage in 1889 to Sarah Jane Medcraft so the first George Charles Pensome is probably Elizabeth's and Gertrude is Sarah's.
Looks good !

Its always interesting to see how the enumerator "captured" village names etc that they were not familiar with, either phonetic spelling or something similar - Bridgenorth for Badgeworth etc ( actually the image could be Bridgeworth or Badgeworth - I suspect this one is down to transcription )
