I am searching for information please on the parents and siblings of Mirah Coats (also spelt Myra/Maria in various censuses). She was born in either Aston Ingham or Longhope around 1827 and was baptised at Aston Ingham on 1 June 1828. Her mother was named Elizabeth but I have no information on her father. On 2 July 1847 Mirah married Alfred Bullock in Longhope. Many thanks.

Where did you find the baptism?

for starters : if you check with GloucestershireBDM - BULLOCK, the mother's maiden name is COATES

1851 Census Longhope

BULLOCK

Alfred - 23 - born Huntley
Mirah - 22 - born Longhope
Ann - 3
Harriet - 1
Mirah HAMPTON - Widow - Aunt - 70 - Receiving Relief, born Churcham

I found the baptism on the Forest of Dean Family History Baptism Transcript details. Thank you for the spelling of Coates.

If you use the Advance Search - Elizabeth (single woman) has a son George COATES christened at Aston Ingham - 14 September 1824)

Thank you for all the information. I am a little confused as to where the Hamptons fit in. I see that Mirah Hampton on the 1851 census is the Aunt of either Mirah Coates or Alfred. So, presumably she was the married sister of Elizabeth Coates? Then on the 1841 census for Hampton, there is another Myra aged 12. I am confused as to where this Myra fits in or am I missing something?

As Mirah BULLOCK is aged 22 on the 1851 census, assume rightly or wrongly she is the Myra aged 12 the 1841 census with the HAMPTON's
