52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks - Week 34: #41 Ann (Marshman) Richman (1784-1856)

Amy Johnson Crow suggested a weekly blog theme of "52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks" in her blog post Challenge: 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks on the No Story Too Small blog.  Here is my ancestor biography for week #34:

[NOTE:  This profile has been edited to include the parentage of Ann Marshman as John and Anne (Angel) Marshman of Hilperton, Wiltshire.]

Ann (Marshman) Richman (1788-1867) is #41 on my Ahnentafel list, my third great-grandmother.  She married in 1811 to #40 John Richman (1788-1867).

4)  NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):

From English census records, Ann was born between 1781 (age 59 in 1841 census) and 1784 (age 67 in 1851 census), apparently in Devizes in Wiltshire.

An Ann Marshman, daughter of Richard and Rebecca (Phipps) Marshman, was baptized at Southbroom Church in Devizes on 20 June 1784.  Another Ann Marshman was baptized 30 October 1780 there, daughter of Thomas and Ann (____) Marshman.  Her parents may have been another Marshman couple who did not record the baptism.  

There were Marshman families in Hilperton at the time of her marriage there who may have been related to Ann.  Her parents may have been another Marshman couple who did not record the baptism in the Church of England records.  

John and Anne (Angel) Marshman had five children (Thomas, Elizabeth, Martha, James and John)  baptized in Hilperton between 1767 and 1783, and were likely the parents of Ann Marshman, perhaps born in Devizes.  The mother, Anne (Angel) Marshman was buried in Hilperton in 1795.  This John Marshman may have resided in Hilperton in the 1810 time period, and probably died in Hilperton.

One clue may be that a Thomas Marshman was a witness to Ann's marriage in 1811 to John Richman.  A Thomas Marshman was the eldest child of John and Ann (Angel) Marshman, baptized in 1767 in Hilperton.

The Hilperton Parish Register Bishop's Transcripts say they were married on 8 February 1811 by J. Ballies with the mark of X for John Richman and Ann Marshman, with witness Thomas Marshman, in the presence of Richard Hiscock.[1]

The baptisms of the eight children of John and Ann (Marshman) Richman are recorded in the Hilperton Parish Bishops Transcripts between 1811 and 1825.

In the 1841 Census for Wiltshire, the John Richman family resided on Marsh Lane in Hilperton Marsh.  The household included:[2]

*   John Richman Senior - age 52, male, a coal hauler, born Wiltshire
*   Ann Richman - age 59, female, a weaver, born Wiltshire
*  Elizabeth Richman - age 30, female, a weaver, born Wiltshire
*  James Richman - age 20, male, Ag Lab, born Wiltshire

In the 1851 Census for Wiltshire, the John Richman family resided in Hilperton Marsh, Wiltshire, England.  The household included:[3]

*   John Richman - husband, age 59, butcher, born Hilperton, Wiltshire
*  Ann Richman - wife, age 67, born Devizes
*  Elizabeth Richman - daughter, age 38, weaver, born Hilperton
*  Mary Richman - granddaughter age 8, born Hilperton
*  Rosa Richman - granddaughter, age 3, scholar, born Bath, Somerset

The burial of Ann Richman was recorded in the Hilperton Parish Registers on 31 July 1856.[4]
