Barbara says,

Eliza Jane House and ancestors:

Eliza Jane bap Hilton 21 Aug 1816 dau of Charles and Jane (Moors), Charles

described here as Carpenter though in baptisms of earlier children he is

shown as Publican. Jane is sometimes referred to as Jean. Charles House and

Jane Moors married 31 Aug 1807 at Melcombe Horsey. Charles House was bap 11

Feb 1781 at Hilton, son of Peter House and Ann (Davidge) who had married at

Piddlehinton 12 Apr 1757. He was a `replacement` of an earlier Charles born

of this marriage who died 1780. This Peter House was bap 26 Mar 1722 at

Milton Abbas, son of another Peter and Ann combination, this time Peter

House and Ann Arnold who had married by licence at Piddlehinton 28 Jan1720,

both being described as `of Hilton` and, presumably, one or both parties were

under age. I have not, as yet, discovered the baptism and parents of this

last Peter but will let you know if I unearth him. Incidentally Eliza Jane

had an older brother Peter who married yet another Ann (Squibb) which just

adds to the confusion!

 

Charles House was presumably the publican at the (old) Fox at Anstey. Do get

to see the (new) Fox (called the Fox at Anstey) if you can. It was the home

of the brewers Woodhouse who had their brewery over the road until Hall and

Woodhouse moved to Blandford St. Mary. Now it is a vast, rambling pub, the

landlord is full of ideas for its future (conference centre/hotel etc) but

its location is too far off the beaten track. The beer is fair but theeats

may be poor (when we visited in 1999) but it is stacked full of old

photographs of the area. There are numerous bars mostly devoid ofcustomers.

I don`t know how they make it pay. Barbara`s family came from Hilton,

Anstey, Aller, Hartfootlane and Melcombe Horsey. It is not far to the

machine breaking Houses of Stoke Wake who are her collateral relations.
