ALDRED FAMILY TREE

THOMAS ALDRED 1776 - 

Thomas married Jane Chuter on 16th February 1795 at Frensham. I believe they had 10 children, Their first child was born at Frensham and was baptised during March 1796 (the name is illegible in the parish register). They moved to Headley where Thomas was baptised on 19th August 1797 (their name was written as Alder in the parish register), and Sarah baptised 29th April 1799. The family moved back to Frensham where their other children were born, James was baptised 14th December 1800, Maria was baptised 25th September 1803, George was baptised 13th July 1806, Charles was baptised on 31st March 1809, Henry baptised 9th June 1811, Eliza baptised 31st July 1814, who married James Arundell on Christmas day 1832.

Thomas and Jane appear on the 1841 census for Dockenfield, Thomas aged 65 and Jane aged 60. Thomas worked as an agricultural labourer.

THOMAS ALDRED 1797 - 1855

Thomas was born in 1797, he was baptised at Headley in Hampshire, on 19th August 1797 the son of Thomas Aldred and Jane Chuter. The parish register gives their name as Alder. Thomas Aldred married Harriet Remnant by banns at Frensham parish church on 13th May 1818 both signed their own names, the witnesses were George Remnant and Elizabeth Redford. Thomas and Harriet lived at Bats Corner, Frensham and raised their family of 10 children.

The 1851 census shows Thomas and Harriet, with only three sons still at home, the youngest Arthur still at school, they have Frederick James Bonner their grandson, age 2, living with them.
