751	The 1861 census says Thomas was aged 64 and born in Guernsey, St Peter's Port. The 1851 census gives his age as 55, born in Guernsey. The 1841 has him age 45, born on a different island. Only two Thomases were baptised at that time anywhere on Guernsey. One was in St Martin, but a corresponding burial was found there, so that cannot be the man how moved to Jersey. The other was in St Pierre du Bois, and there is no sign of a marriage or burial for him there. By elimination, that must be the right person.	Fallaize, Thomas (I1059)
752	The 1871 census says Louisa, John, Tom and Kate were born in Moselle, France as British subjects. This seems to be a misunderstanding as the house or farm in Hook which they were living in at the time of the 1871 census was called Moselle.	Harding, Sylvia Louisa (I2942)
753	The 1871 census says Louisa, John, Tom and Kate were born in Moselle, France as British subjects. This seems to be a misunderstanding as the house or farm in Hook which they were living in at the time of the 1871 census was called Moselle.	Harding, John (I2943)
754	The 1871 census says Louisa, John, Tom and Kate were born in Moselle, France as British subjects. This seems to be a misunderstanding as the house or farm in Hook which they were living in at the time of the 1871 census was called Moselle.	Harding, Tom (I2944)
755	The 1871 census says Louisa, John, Tom and Kate were born in Moselle, France as British subjects. This seems to be a misunderstanding as the house or farm in Hook which they were living in at the time of the 1871 census was called Moselle.	Harding, Kate (I2945)
756	The 1911 census indicates that Edward and Fanny had had a child who had died. Only Moore births were registered in the New Forest district between 1893 and 1911, and only this one corresponds to a death registration before 19111.	Moore, Doris Violet (I845)
757	The 1911 census says Fred and Sally had been married for 18 years, putting the marriage in 1892-3. As the only two other Frederick H Medleys with birth registrations had both died, and no other marriage reg can be found, it seems that perhaps they were not actually married until 1916, and 1893 is the date of birth of their child (who died) or maybe the point at which they began cohabiting.	Family F125
758	The 1911 census says William & Alice had eight children in total. The last, who had died before 1911, is probably either Harold (1894-94), Rosalind Alice (1886-88) or Albert Frank (1899-?). Harold seems most likely as he fits in a gap in the sequence of children.	Vane (I556)
759	The 1911 census states that James and Ann had five children who had died young, but the baptisms and burials for Westend only clearly list four. Possibly the fifth is the Agnes Moody, buried at Westend 31 Mar 1863.	Moody, Lot Charles (I261)
760	The 1939 register says 13 Jul 1884, but the birth was registered in Q2 1883.	Croutear, Cicely Ada (I2457)
761	The 1939 register says 13 Mar.	Cronin, Annie Margaret (I1015)
762	The 1939 register says 27 Sep 1892.	Willmott, Violet Ethel (I77)
763	The 1939 register says 7 Dec 61, but '62' has been written in pencil above it. 1862 matches the Q1 1863 birth registration.	Whitfield, Elizabeth (I194)
764	The baptism record gives no clue whether this is a boy or a girl, however his uncle's will mentions a nephew, Francis Bull.	Bull, Francis (I2727)
765	The baptism register at Overton includes a further child, Frank Vane, baptised on the same day in 1869 as Ellen. He does not appear on the 1871 census or any subsequent one, nor is there a suitable birth or death registration for him. The 1911 census states that William and Maria only had fifteen children, and they are all accounted for above. Possibly he was an unrelated child, baptised on the same day as Ellen, and the priest or clerk made an error writing up the register, copying Ellen's parents' names instead of Frank's.	Family F72
766	The baptism register is torn with the years 1779 to 1783 (inclusive) missing. It is likely one or more child was born during this period.	Family F992
767	The baptism register states Alice was aged 8, though in fact she was a month shy of her 8th birthday. She was baptised on the same day as her brother William and sister Jane.	Vane, Alice (I497)
768	The baptism register states William was aged 6, though in fact he was two months shy of his 6th birthday. He was baptised on the same day as his sisters Alice and Jane.	Vane, William (I498)
769	The Caroline who married Augustus Benjamin Adams in 1847 is not this Caroline. That was the daughter of James and Ann, baptised in 1829.	Barfoot, Caroline (I5597)
770	The Charles Thomas who married Louisa Gunton in St Helier in 1873 gave his age as 38 (putting his birth in 1834-35), his place of birth as Hampshire, and his father's name as James Thomas. However on the '81 and '91 censuses, his age is given as 56 and 66, respectively, putting his birth in 1824-25. The 1871 census (where he is in Jersey General Hospital) gives his age as 44. The HGS index has only two baptisms between 1820 and 1838 for a Charles Thomas with a father called James. One is the son of James and Ann in Beaulieu, the other was baptised on 15 Aug 1830 in Ringwood. The Ringwood man can be found the 1871 census in Shepton Mallet, Somerset, so he cannot be man in Jersey General Hospital. By a process of elimination, the man in Jersey must therefore be the son of James and Ann.	Thomas, Charles (I3059)
771	The Child's Christian Name column has "William Kingsbury" with "William" struck out and "Edward" substituted.	Fry, Edward Kingsbury (I3574)
772	The child's name is blank on the baptism entry and the word "fils" or "fille" is omitted, however the entry says the child "fut presenté à l'Eglise" suggesting a male child. Had the child been female it would have been "fut presentée". The clerk mostly seems to get his gender agreements right when using the passive voice.	Gosselin (I1447)
773	The date (11 Jun 1725) is actually quoted as the burial, but as the date of burial is known from the register and it would be unusual for a gravestone to include a date of burial, this seems likely to be the date of death.	Hatcher, Mary (I3032)
774	The date of birth is just given as 27 Oct, but it was presumably the most recent one, in 1805.	Grossmith, Elizabeth Bricknell (I5502)
775	The death registration and the gravestone both say that Alice died aged 93 in 1955; however, this cannot be correct if she were born on 10 Dec 1862 as the 1939 register says. FreeBMD has an "Alice James Furlonger" [sic] whose birth was registered in Q1 1863 in Guildford. Probably this is her, in which case she died aged 92	Furlong, Alice Jane (I661)
776	The earliest certain reference to John is his marriage in 1873 in the parish of St James Piccadilly. Later censuses all say he was born in Germany, but are no more specific than that, and consistently he put his date of birth sometime in 1843-45. John (or Johann as he was presumably born) was a tailor. There is a possible sighting of him on the 1871 census. A man only identified as "J.S.", a 26-year-old tailor from Berlin was in the county gaol in Cambridge. There was a separate borough gaol, and another for the Isle of Ely, so this suggests "J.S." was arrested somewhere in the south of the county, but outside Cambridge itself. I've no reason to place John in Cambridgeshire at this time, but his wife grew up in Felsted, Essex, only 15 miles from the Cambridgeshire border, or 30 miles from the gaol. It's possible they met in the area, and moved to London together. The name is not especially common in Germany, appearing 1202 times in the 1998 phone book, with the vast majority of entries being in the state of Baden-Württemberg, and a smaller cluster in Berlin. Most likely the name originated in Württemberg, and if John Scheu was from Berlin, probably he was born to a family recently moved there from Württemberg.	Scheu, John (I191)
777	The entry appears in both the St Helier and the St Mark register for the same date.	Joslin, Eliza Jane (I2067)
778	At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld.	Private (I484)
779	The evidence that Peter moved across Southampton Water from the Bursledon / Hamble / Wickham area to Fawley is circumstantial. First, there's only one plausible baptism or marriage for Peter anywhere in Hampshire, so there is no evidence of there being two Peters. Secondly, the sequence of children east of the water stops in 1714 and the sequence west starts in 1716, consistent with the family moving. Thirdly, there's little repetition in the sequence of children's names. (John is used three times, but we know the first two died. The only other duplicate is Peter, in 1706 and again in 1732. We have no evidence that the former had died, but neither is there evidence of him living.) Fourthly, there were no Grossmiths in Fawley anywhere in the New Forest before 1716, so they must have come from somewhere. Hamble and Fawley are only couple of miles apart by boat. An inspection of Peter's will to see if it mentions the earlier children should confirm this.	Grossmith, Peter (I3646)
780	The evidence that the 1899 death is hers is circumstantial, but her son was living in Ipswich on the 1901 census, and there's no other suitable death registered in England or Wales.	Le Cocq, Selina (I1018)
781	The gravestone and death registration both say he died in 1949, aged 84. This seems to be a mistake as his death registration and the 1939 register agree that he was born in 1866. He was therefore aged 83.	Banks, Alfred James (I660)
782	The gravestone says "died October 17th 1892, aged 84 years" but this makes him 10 years older than he is known to have been. The burial register says he was buried on 22 Oct 1902, so it seems the year is ten years out, perhaps due to a misreading of a badly decayed stone.	Smith, Henry (I732)
783	At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld.	Family F267
784	The GRO transcript of Thomas and Kate's marriage has his surname as Wanaud, however Kate was a witness at her sister Sarah Eliza's wedding and her surname was clearly given as Warrand there.	Family F676
785	The HGS index records the mother as Margaret, but this must be an error, either in the index or the original register. The parents' marriage and 1851 census both have the mother as Martha.	Willis, Emma (I1883)
786	The HGS index records two baptisms this day, the first for Philip, the second for Benjamin, both children of Jeremiah Martin. Possibly these were two separate people, likely twins, one of whom died young and the other adopted his name in his memory; perhaps more likely, the HGS misread the record and assumed it referred to two sons.	Martell, Philip Benjamin (I3496)
787	The HGS index says "bn Rumsey", presumably meaning he was born in Romsey. Note that this baptism is two months before the parents' marriage and the baptism makes no mention of the parents being unmarried. Possibly this suggests there is more than one Simon.	Cheater, Richard (I3783)
788	The HGS index transcribes it as William Houchings Hunt, aged 1; but I transcribed the register as saying Edward Houchings Hunt, son of Wm & Eliz, aged 1y4m.	Hunt, Edward Hutchins (I1005)
789	The HGS index transcribes the age as 19, whereas the OPC index transcribes it as 17. 19 fits the baptism and is likely right.	Willis, James (I1775)
790	The HGS index transcribes the surname as Goosam, the IGI as Greetam. Greetham is a local name, while Goosham is not.	Greetham, Dorothy (I4707)
791	The HGS register transcript is unable to transcribe the date.	Bull, Joseph (I2741)
792	The HGS transcript dates it as 1744/45, i.e. 1745 (NS).	Banks, James (I981)
793	The HGS transcript gives his age as 73; the OPC transcript gives it as 79. The former fits better with the other available evidence.	Willis, George (I1765)
794	The HGS transcript gives the year as 1734, and has sorted it as if that's a NS year. If the burial really is for this John Banks, it must actually be an OS year.	Banks, John (I977)
795	The HGS transcript gives the year as 1734/35, i.e. 1735 (NS).	Banks, John (I977)
796	The HGS transcript has a baptism of a Edward son of Edmund and Sarah on 15 Oct 1830, less than a month before Edmund's. It seems possible that Edward and Edmund are the same person: perhaps the earlier one is a private baptism and the later is him being received into the church; and perhaps one name has been mistranscribed, The 1851 census appears to say 'Edmd'.	Jones, Edmund (I2837)
797	The identity of Elizabeth's parents is given as John and Ann Newel on her husband Edward's gravestone. The only Elizabeth Newell on the HGS index baptised any time before 1700 is in Old Alresford in 1664, the fourth of six children of John Newell recorded between and 1657 and 1668/9, and the marriage for a John Newell in the HGS index between 1640 and 1660 is to Anne Spurrier in Odiham in 1657. This tallies with the identity of Elizabeth's parents on the gravestone, however it would make Elizabeth 56 when her last child was born which isn't plausible. Also Odiham, Old Alresford and Bishop's Waltham are all quite distant from each other.	Newell, Elizabeth (I4699)
798	The identity of Mary's husband comes from Anthony Hunt's will, which also tells us they had children. Probably Henry Oake is the man living in Christchurch who had children 1705-19, the oldest being named Anthony Oake.	Family F892
799	The Jacob baptised on 11 Nov 1728 at Great Waltham, son of Jacob and Sarah (née Davey, married there on 6 Oct 1724) cannot be this Jacob as he was buried there on 1 Jan 1728 (presumably OS) – the burial entry identifies him as Jacob and Sarah's son.	Day, Jacob (I5550)
800	The marriage licence is for a wedding on 18 April at North Stoneham. William was a yeoman from South Stoneham, Elizabeth from North Stoneham. They were bachelor and spinster, both aged 21. Elizabeth's surname was spelt Lavender in the licence.	Family F1419
