Dear All
In my studies for my friends family history i have come across a 1901 Census entry for a William G.Carpenter aged 23 born London , working as a Coach Man at the above residence in 1901.
I believe i have the right man, as the current family seem to remember this man working in service in Herefordshire, before joining the Army and unfortunately
seems to have died during the war
Is there anyone who is familier with the above location , especially after 1901, as this could lead to proving this gentleman in my friends tree
I assume the modern Swainshill near Breinton is in the right location
thanks and regards
Geoff

Breinton, consisting of Upper and Lower, is a township, parish, and straggling village, situated 3 miles west-south-west from Hereford railway station, and is in the Hundred of Grimsworth, and Hereford Union, archdeaconry, deanery, and bishopric. The church, dedicated to St. Michael, is pleasantly situated on an eminence bordering on the river Wye, which bounds the parish on the south, and consists of a nave and chancel, with a square tower at the west end containing two bells. The living is a perpetual curacy, worth £109 yearly, and in the patronage of the Bishop of Hereford; the Rev. Edmund Du Buisson, M.A. is the incumbent. The chief landed proprietors of this parish are John Edwin Jones, Esq.; John Cranston, Esq. of King’s Acre; Edward Lewis, Esq.; John Davies, Esq.; Daniel Pearce, Esq.; and Edmund Russell, Esq., of the Showers, Kingsland. Here is a chapel and school endowed by Lady Southampton, the latter of which is applied to the education of 42 children, and is conducted by Mr. James Pugh. At Warham is also a Church of England school for boys and girls, established January 22, 1855. This is partly within the limits of the city of Hereford. There are charities of about £9 yearly value. The population, in 1851, was 366, with 1,639 acres. The crops are wheat, beans, turnips, &c., with pears and apples.
