As of 1867 the daughter amy and the following children were not christened there.which church they attended between the years 1866 and 1873 remains a mistary i've yet to uncover. they deffintly attended the mitcheldiver primitive methodists (andover cuircit) as of 1873 as urbans christening appears in the registers as do the rest of the following children. i looked at the originals and there is a gap between the years 1863 and 1872. the last christening of the children in st james wield was elizabeths in 1865 and the first in the methodist regs was urban. with no christenings being recorded in the methodist records as of 1863 until 1873 leaves the question of where did the 3 missing childrens christenings take part. the affiliation to the methodist church must have carried on for the rest of their lives as the burial records for wield parish church for both james and charlote has an entry next to their names stating that they were buried under the burial laws amendment act of 1880. No other burial seem to have had this added as a note. To be buried under the Burial Laws Amendment Act of 1880 normally means that the person buried was a non-conformist; the burial service was performed by a Non-Conformist minister, but in a Church of England church, as the burial was going to take place in the churchyard. Before that time, non-conformists could not be buried in parish churchyards. ******************** 1871 England Census Name: Jas Westbrook Age: 31 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1840 Relation: Head Spouse's Name: Charlotte Gender: Male Where born: Wield, Hampshire, England Civil Parish: Wield Town: Wield County/Island: Hampshire Country: England Street address: cottage Occupation:ag lab Condition as to marriage:married Registration district: Alton Sub registration district: Alton ED, institution, or vessel: 1 Household schedule number: 29 Household Members: Name Age Robert S Knight 10 Alice Westbrook 2 Amy Westbrook 4 Annie Westbrook 8 Arthur Wm Westbrook 1 Charlotte Westbrook 30 Elizh Westbrook 6 Jas Westbrook 31 Source Citation: Class: RG10; Piece: 1225; Folio: 7; Page: 6; GSU roll: 827829. ******************** 1881census Name Estimated Birth Year Birthplace Relationship Residence Alice Westbrook abt 1865 Wield, Hampshire, England Daughter Wield Arthor Westbrook abt 1871 Wield, Hampshire, England Son Wield Charlotte Westbrook abt 1842 Wield, Hampshire, England Wife Wield James Westbrook abt 1841 Wield, Hampshire, England Head Wield Kate Westbrook abt 1877 Wield, Hampshire, England Daughter Wield Urben Westbrook abt 1874 Wield, Hampshire, England Son Wield Walter Westbrook abt 1880 Wield, Hampshire, England Son Wield ******************** 1891census Name Age in 1891 Birthplace Relationship to head-of-house Civil parish County Westbrook, Edith 5 Wield, Hampshire / Hantshaving Daughter Wield Hampshire Westbrook, James 51 Wield, Hampshire / Hantshaving Head Wield Hampshire Westbrook, Ruth 8 Wield, Hampshire / Hantshaving Daughter Wield Hampshire Westbrook, Walter 11 Wield, Hampshire / Hantshaving Son Wield Hampshire Westbrook, Charlotte 49 Wield, Hampshire / Hantshaving Wife Wield Hampshire ******************** 1901census Name Age in 1901 Birthplace Relationship Civil Parish County/Island Jessie Harmsworth 19 Winchester, Hampshire, England Visitor Wield Hampshire Harry Surbon 21 Otterbourne, Hampshire, England Visitor Wield Hampshire Charlotte Westbrook 59 Wield, Hampshire, England Wife Wield Hampshire Edith Westbrook 16 Wield, Hampshire, England Daughter Wield Hampshire James Westbrook 61 Wield, Hampshire, England Head Wield Hampshire Ruth Westbrook 19 Wield, Hampshire, England Daughter Wield Hampshire ******************** Deaths Dec 1908 WESTBROOK James 69 Alton 2c 100 ******************** The burial was marked with a monumentel stone which reads in memory of our dear parents. james westbrook who died dec 4 1908 and charlotte his wife who died oct 14 1908
