Thanks Judith,but I already have details after 1861. It is the marriage that eludes me.

Probably a red herring, Philip.

But a Henry NOTT of Bideford married Anne SELLICK of Harberton, Devon, 6 miles from South Brent (where a Henry NOTT was baptised in 1806) in Harberton by licence in 1824. Mrs Anne NOTT died in Torrington in August 1839, at her brother's house.
This would hinge on a C19 typo in young Henry's baptism record. There are also quite a few NOTTs floating around N. Devon.

Hi Peter
Thanks, I've seen that one, I also note that a Henry Nott married a Grace. I've contacted the Tree House to assist, since some years ago DFHS had found a marriage of Henry/Ann, I lost that info.

Hi Judith.
Yes very depressing isn't it. They still had not improved by 1892 when my grandfather was born in Stepney workhouse.

Yes I understand. My great grandmother was in and out of the workhouse in 1881, luckily my grandfather not born there too. He was illigit, much to my fathers horror when he found out after grandfather had died. Its all changed now, no stigma etc and much more help, which is completely different to the attitudes of those days.
found a Henry Nott aged 8 with a Thomas and Elizabeth and a Richard also 8 and Harriett 5 in South Brent 1841 with possible grandparents Thomas 75 and Ann75. Would be worth checking that out in case young Henry had been looked after by them.

Thanks, I have seen that one. A possibility but the other names don't match other family names.Back to the marriage of Henry/Mary,searched FMP,Ancestry,Family Search,DFHS without success.

Are you sure its Mary? Have you found Henry jnr baptism?
Worth checking all the parishes in Exeter, as not all on the i.g.i at one time.

Could Henry have joined the navy? given he was listed as a ropemaker at one time. There is a Henry Knott joined in 1820 aged 17, on various ships leaving in 1858, which could account for him not being on the census in 1841,1851.
Vicar might have spelt it Nott phonetically on the baptism.
Could have been born South Brent, but not necessarily baptised there.
This one is very puzzling
