Perhaps this means even those at Kew can make typo mistakes too !, there's hope for me yet (or probably not....) ;-)

From GlosBMD too, of course:

Re the above family I've just spotted this reference within the National Archives website which may be of interest.

These continuous service engagement books give the date and place of birth, physical characteristics on entry, and a summary of the service of each rating."

The digital copy may be purchased online and may give further detail than this free summary. Past experience of TNA records suggests the quoted date is almost certainly this recruit's claimed birthdate.

From this site's PRs could this be his Baptism, parents fit the above Census info:

Odd for a recruit to claim he's younger than he is, could this suggest a possible PR transcription error, perhaps ?

Looks fine to me :-) PR ties in with BMD

John Dean Vimpani appear in Australia next - marraige etc

Phyllis Dorothy Vimpani, wife of Horace, died in her sleep on December 21st 2009 at Resthaven, Leabrook in Adelaide, South Australia at 89 years from a stroke.

Katherine May Vimpani, wife of Norman, died on January 4th 2011 in Melbourne, Victoria aged 90 years from a stroke.

Most of the cousins and their partners (Ron and Helen, Stanley and Carolyn, Barbara and Garry, Graham and Anne) were able to meet at the funeral in Melbourne on January 10th.

Judith was able to join with us at a gathering afterwards.

Let's see if I can explain this simply. Susannah married Edmund Vimpany as you know. Edmund's father had a brother Richard who married Mary Roberts. Their 10th son Jesse married Sarah Dean and their 5th son was John Dean. Jesse gave John a family Bible as a boy and this Bible is still in the family in Aus having been passed to Ron Vimpani earlier this year. If you or other family members would like a copy of my family tree (as a word.doc) with dates and details of other childrenn and their families. Please contact me directly. I have registered on this site. By the way Sue's g grandfather is my g grandfather's brother ie brother to John Dean. Regards Judith

Julien

--------------------------------------

Julien,
Sue, of UK, and I, from Australia, are related and met on the web. Sue is busy with jury service at present so I provide you with the information I have on Edmund Vimpany. Edmund's parents were Edmund born 1756 married Rebecca Vail in 1781. Rebecca died in 1840. Edmund's grandfather was Edmund 1719-21/3/1800 who married Elizabeth (1730-1800). Edmund's great grandfather was Edmund 1687-? who married Ann. Ann died 1719 before Edmund was baptised and this was in Jan- Mar before the change to Julien Calendar so the years are not certain. Edmund's GG gandfather was Thomas (1650-1702) who married 4/6/1677 Anne Godwin 1641-1681, then Sarah King on 28/8/1684. Sarah was Edmund's mother. Edmund's GGG grandfather was William born abt 1598 who married Agnes Batten in 1634 in Nailsea. Agnes was born 1613. The gathering of most of this information must be credited to Richard and to Sue who found it independently. By the way my great grandfather John Dean Vimpani changed the name from y to i at the end shortly after he arrived in Aus in 1870 and so his descendents are easily identified. Hope this is of interest regards Judith
