Additional Information

There is some speculation in this Family Chart - I have no proof that the Thomas buried in 1803 is Edward's son - but I have been unable to find any record of Thomas subsequently; nor can I find Mary Martha at a later date. Nor can I be absolutely certain that the Sarah born to Edward and Mary married Moses Blackford, as I have been unable to find anything about this couple after their marriage, and so do not know where or when Sarah Blackford was born. At present, the likeliest eventuality was that Sarah married Moses, and so for the moment that is the route I have taken.

Mary TARGETT was living at Worting Road Basingstoke with her grandson George (born 1836), son of George and Lydia, in the 1841 Census. In 1851, she was living next door to Worting Post Office, and was described as Pauper (Postwoman). When she died, her death certificate records that she was the Widow of Edward Rampton, Postman.
